...Let me repeat that: German justice minister says Bush=Hitler...
...Hell, we probably have plans to invade the Vatican...

...Since then we have alienated our allies to the point where France has accused America of imperialism...
...And the German justice minister in 2002 characterized Bush's pre-war tactics as Hitler-like...
