Iran commander says Merkel thinks she's Hitler
2006-02-09
A commander in Iran's Revolutionary Guards lashed out at German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday over her remarks on Tehran's nuclear programme, saying she "thinks she's Hitler."
"Well, she's not Hitler, dammit! We're Hitler! She can be Mussolini or Tojo if she wants!"
Apparently, *everybody* gets to be Hitler for fifteen minutes. At this point, I'm not even sure ol' Adolph was really Hitler, that accusation is getting so old and overused.
"In her childish dreams, Merkel imagines she's Hitler and thinks that now she occupies the chancellor's seat she can dictate orders to the world and to free countries," Commander Seyyed Massoud Jazayeri was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency. "We cannot expect anything else from people with a Zionist past," added Jazayeri, the head of the public relations department of the guards, one of Iran's most powerful institutions.

Merkel on Saturday charged that Iran had 'overstepped the mark' with its nuclear programme after the International Atomic Energy Agency voted to report Tehran to the UN Security Council, paving the way for possible sanctions.

#11  Calling people Hitler not only demeans that person it demeans Hitler. We have stopped crediting him for how bad he really was.

#10  When I get to be Nixon for 15 minutes those tapes are history and we'll all live happily ever after. Except Jimmuah who in 1977 is having his peanut seed company sued by two of my cousins and win. This time his ass doen't slip away.

Bush was recently promoted from Hitler to Nixon. This means the ever-popular position of Hitler is currently vacant. Lots of people have their resume in play. The upside is everyone in the food chain gets to move up a level.

...But I don't want to be Hitler. I want to be either Manfred Von Richtoften or Adolf Galland. Okay, if I have to be, I'll be Rommel.

Man, trying to decipher that one hurts my head. Anyone have a spare Secret MM Decoder ring they can loan me? Germany, under Hitler, has a "Zionist" past? Man, the MM must be gettin some good poppies from Afghanistan or something!

#4  Since when is Hitler a bad role-model for the mad mullahs? I thought he was their ideal.

#2  It's not a great record, by any means. It could do with a remix by DJ MOAB.
