The facts back my claim (?) that these are true and valid.
If you are so wise I'm sure that you can refute them. Feel free to look at the britannica links above.

OK--let's set aside for the moment the claim about the pentagon, because it's not what this thread is about. You're merely trying to use it to win an argument about something else--namely, Lanny's comparison of Bush to Hitler.
Let me first say that it's probably the case that you and I agree on this point. Personally, I think Bush is probably not very much like Hitler. That doesn't mean I like Bush, but Hitler was a special kind of evil person--not your run-of-the-mill corporate thug like Bush is. I think Hitler was a delusional megalomaniac who rallied the populace's fear into a nationalist aggression and used that energy to wage war and commit mass murder--he was also a racist, which I don't think Bush is, at least not explicitly. Inasmuch as Bush uses fear, he uses it to generate consensus, not aggression. He also hasn't committed genocide--and though he is arguably responsible for many deaths, that can be said for most presidents. Bush and his people are undoubtedly responsible for MANY electoral irregularities--but none of them rise to the level of "rigging" an election. Elections have not been suspended, and indeed the Republicans look to be victims of a huge backlash in the next couple of years.
However--you need to realize that you're getting schooled big time in this thread. Posting links to biographies of each person and then inviting everyone to read them just makes you look even worse. Lanny made specific inferences about information that won't be found in the biographies--so even though I agree with your claim, such as it is, your so-called "evidence" actually proves nothing. The problem is one of two things: either you're so sure you're right that you forgot to argue your point--or you're not actually interested in a debate, just in baiting Lanny.
Which is it?
