Last week, top administration officials, including Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld, equated the war in Iraq with fighting Nazis in World War II. As part of this analogy, the Bush gang made its critics out to be Neville Chamberlain — as if troop redeployment in Iraq is the moral equivalent of appeasing Hitler.
As if that weren’t quite offensive enough, Condoleezza Rice has upped the ante a bit, suggesting that opponents of the war are the moral equivalent of those who would tolerate slavery in 19th century America.
Secretary of State Rice compared the Iraq war with the American Civil War, telling a magazine that slavery might have lasted longer in this country if the North had decided to end the fight early.
“I’m sure there are people who thought it was a mistake to fight the Civil War to its end and to insist that the emancipation of slaves would hold,” Rice said in the new issue of Essence magazine.
“I know there were people who said, ‘Why don’t we get out of this now, take a peace with the South, but leave the South with slaves?’” Rice said.

This is a person who was a democrat until 1982 when she realized that to succeed in government one had to pretty much throw out integrity and get on board with whatever train was leaving the station, and the fact that she majored in soviet studies has been an obvious question mark in her knowledge of modern dynamics in the world.

Just goes to show that almost everyone in the Bush is either plain stupid or crazy, and is willing to say anything, commit any scam, including breaking of laws, to get what it wants. Such a conduct is not only a black mark on the history of this nation, but it reaches the level deserving or punishment. Condi is just another example of that. She has continuing engaged in lying, distorting, scamming, and absolutely bizzare behavior. Is she mentally insane?
