3. Germany made an official declaration of war against the U.S.
Germany made an official declaration of war against the U.S.-- Germany attacked us, not the other way around.

That one's as bad as Matthews telling his audience that the U.S. was responsible for the Malmedy Massacre....

5. When has a neocon repuke
ever let FACTS get in their way.
1. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor
2. We declared war on Japan
3. Hitler then declared war on the US as part of his treaty with Japan. (So did Italy)
4. So then we included Hitler as part of the package deal

6. Rifkin Is From Another Planet...
First of all, Hitler's spies fed the Japanese intel on Pearl Harbor. Mr. Rifkin needs to do a little research on this topic.

What a total buttmunch...lumping all the A-rabs together with little knowledge of the history or politics of the region. For Rifkin, this is one big Risk game and he thinks this is some grand adventure...cause he has not personal involvement in this war...other than to profit from it.

He tried to say that Darfur wasn't as bad as Iraq, thus "not a "real" war. Is there a sanctioning body that determines when there's a war or not?

The dude's another AIPAC puppet...makes me sick to see another self-hating Jew.

7. The Germans
were also sinking American ships supplying England prior to our entry.
That Rivkin sure is a snappy dresser. He looks like a fun house fright dummy.

9. well you forget that they declared war on us first, and also I guess we should have just let
Hitler go on and let England fall and let him keep killing Jews, and whatever other group he took a disliking too: gays, blacks, hispanics, you name it. Anybody but the perfect blue-eyed, golden haired German girl and boy.
