<"I think we can compare the fight against the Nazis and the fight against Communism with the fight that we are now all engaged in against terrorism. And Iraq is a part of that battlefield," Powell said in an interview on France 3 television.

He said Iraq was not the only battlefield, however, citing the recent attacks in Saudi Arabia and the March 11 train bombings in Madrid, as well as the Istanbul bombings last year and the Bali blast in 2002.

"This is a new threat that we face and we have to approach it in the same way, with all of us working together, a great alliance of people who believe in peace, and freedom and the democratic process, to say to terrorists: 'You will not succeed. We will fight you'," said Powell.>

If terrorism is a "new threat" why were there hijackings and bombings in the 70's 80's and 90's? Riddle me that Colin!

So he (and all the repugs) better stop this crap.

2. Colin, honey, the invaders get to play the Nazi parts.

WE are the invaders.

He didn't get great grades on the analogy questions on his SATs, did he?

Aquart, that is the funniest thing I've read this week!

Especially the part about calling Colin "honey"... that was genuinely a nice touch (it's the little things, ya know?).

8. there are millions of people who

if heard this would wonder what the hell is wrong with this guy..those people would be all those who were murdered by hitler and stalin..i`m sure those who survived also wonder if colin has lost his mind. there is no logical historical reasoning that one could use to support that statement..you would think an intelligent military man such as colin wouldn`t attempt to use this arguement-but i guess he`s a general who should have faded away years ago...
