Mugabe compares Bush, Blair to Hitler and Mussolini
http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=6168273&cKey=1129572325000

ROME (Reuters) - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe on Monday railed against U.S. President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair, calling them "international terrorists" bent on world domination like Adolf Hitler.

Mugabe departed from his text at a ceremony marking the 60th anniversary of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to accuse Bush and Blair of illegally invading Iraq and looking to unseat governments elsewhere.

"Must we allow these men, the two unholy men of our millennium, who in the same way as Hitler and Mussolini formed (an) unholy alliance, formed an alliance to attack an innocent country?" he asked rhetorically.

"The voice of Mr Bush and the voice of Mr Blair can't decide who shall rule in Zimbabwe, who shall rule in Africa, who shall rule in Asia, who shall rule in Venezuela, who shall rule in Iran, who shall rule in Iraq," he said.

I posted another article about this earlier but it didn't have all the detail this one does. I didn't realize that a US ambassador was present there and had to listen to this either until now. Read the last paragraph if you click on the link.

1. How dare he speak the truth? Didn't he get the memo on the new speak?

2. It would irritate Hitler and Mussolini to hear that comparison.

3. Mugabe will shortly become the focus of a "scandal"
You just don't say that about the US of A.
