Reagan aide compares Bush to Hitler
Published: Tuesday January 9, 2007
An economist who once served as President Reagan's Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury compares President George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler in a
column at the libertarian website
Anti-war.com.
"Bush is like Hitler," Paul Craig Roberts writes in a column entitled
The Surge: Political Cover or Escalation?. "He blames defeats on his
military commanders, not on his own insane policy."
"Like Hitler, he protects himself from reality with delusion," Roberts
continues. "In his last hours, Hitler was ordering non-existent German
armies to drive the Russians from Berlin."
According to his Wikipedia entry, Roberts is "considered a Reagan
conservative."
