1. Where the hell have they been?
Repubs are great at ignoring what they don't want to hear. It's surprising they don't dismiss him as a traitor, or a newly out-of-the closet liberal.

he sounded crazed, thanking jesus christ for bush, and some other nutball stuff....then he shouted URINE, didn't he...couldn't tell if he got cut off immediately, or what. pretty funny, though, if that's what he said

5. they really are
have you read much about how Hitler came to power?

there were a LOT of maniacs like him, leading splinter groups in the 20s

according to Fritz Thyssen, one of the REAL powers behind the scenes back then, his family, the Krups, and others picked Hitler to back with their unlimited resources, because they thought that he was the most likely to draw public support against the frightening prospect of the rising socialist/communist menace, which they greatly feared in the chaos of that era.

they also thought they could control him, but things don't often work out as even the most powerful plan

same thing happened in reverse, sort of, in the US, as a plot to overthrow FDR by the richest and most powerful families was thwarted by a man they thought would do their bidding: Smedely Butler

6. Yes, and I have started reading more
lately about how Hitler studied propaganda in the U.S. and used religion like a drug to gain support.

I just bought "The Nazi Seizure of Power - The Experience of a Single German Town 1930-1935" at a used book store that I am anxious to start reading.

We need a few top brass now to step up and take down these radicals who are determined to destroy us.

4. I didn't actually watch it . . .
I read his comments though, and I was sure freepers and neo-cons would flip out.

11. here's the column
http://www.suntimes.com/output/novak/cst-edt-novak20.ht...

Inside the Bush administration policymaking apparatus, there is strong feeling that U.S. troops must leave Iraq next year. This determination is not predicated on success in implanting Iraqi democracy and internal stability. Rather, the officials are saying: Ready or not, here we go.

This prospective policy is based on Iraq's national elections in late January, but not predicated on ending the insurgency or reaching a national political settlement. Getting out of Iraq would end the neoconservative dream of building democracy in the Arab world. The United States would be content having saved the world from Saddam Hussein's quest for weapons of mass destruction.

The reality of hard decisions ahead is obscured by blather on both sides in a presidential campaign. Six weeks before the election, Bush cannot be expected to admit even the possibility of a quick withdrawal. Sen. John Kerry's political aides, still languishing in fantastic speculation about European troops to the rescue, do not even ponder a quick exit. But Kerry supporters with foreign policy experience speculate that if elected, their candidate would take the same escape route.

.............

Well-placed sources in the administration are confident Bush's decision will be to get out. They believe that is the recommendation of his national security team and would be the recommendation of second-term officials. An informed guess might have Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state, Paul Wolfowitz as defense secretary and Stephen Hadley as national security adviser. According to my sources, all would opt for a withdrawal.

13. Will the Dems ignore this? Big mistake.
"Oh Dear, we can't respond. People may believe it. They'll say we're doing what lots of dems want." Now, it's true, if some of our surrogates had been screaming "october surprise" our jobs would be a lot easier, but we should have ads in the can tomorrow with the phrases "stay the course," "the biggest flip flop ever", and "let our troops die in vain? and "every time anyone in the republican paryt said "cut and run"
