emerge victorious"?
Hitler in one of his speeches right before he invaded Russia said "Germany's destiny is to emerge Victorious"!
Bush must be hard up for speech material right?

Philip L - Sorry Chico but that was not the particular Speech I was referring to!
Do you think that this was the only speech that Hitler gave about going to war against Russia?

More like one of his speech writers finally got sick of Bush's grand-standing, and threw in that little tidbit to see if anybody noticed. Apt, no?

Bush's whole idea of "Pax Americana" echoes "Pax Romana" a time when Rome was the most powerful country on earth--that the inhabitants of Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa knew of.
As the only superpower left at the moment, it seems that certain sectors of the U.S.A. can see present and future history only in the light of how it will affect the U.S. All others are just second-, third- or non-rate powers. All countries that did not participate in or support the constitutionally unjust war against Iraq have been named enemies of the U.S. This administration has set itself up as perpetrator, judge and jury of what democracy is. Now it just depends on what you believe democracy is.
Yes, what does it tell us about the present government in the U.S? Congress voted against a 5-year $5 billion plan to eradicate hunger in the U.S. before the Iraq war began. Now the war in Iraq costs $1 billion and 100s of lives a week both American and Iraqi. Where would, could and should that money have been better spent?

Obama has only been in office for 4 months. He can't do everything overnight. The growing deficits actually started during the Reagan Era. Clinton didn't pay off the national debt, either. He balanced out the federal budget. The only Presidents that have ever paid off the debt were Truman and Andrew Jackson.

Leaders always talk about destiny. It's our destiny to span from the Atlantic to the Pacific. (Manifest Destiny) It's the destiny of America and the Brits to rule the world (Patton said that). Destiny! Destiny! No escaping Destiny! ( Young Frankenstein)
If the wording was derivative, I doubt if it was intentional. I don't know if speech writers are going to be well versed in historical nuance.

"Germany's destiny is to.." Is not in the text of Hitler's June 22 1941 speech.
Another failed attempt to link Hitler and Bush.

Not only is this not correct, many leaders talk about the destiny of their country. I realize that many here do not like President Bush, but I suggest that you use actual events and facts that have real meaning.

Yes he did. If he quotes Hitler what does that say?

He doesn't write his own material. I am sure he didn't even know where the quote came from. He isn't the brightest bulb in the box.
P.S. I still ike him though!
