According to the Secretary of Defense, those that oppose the the administration's war on terror are suffering from intellectual and moral confusion...or are supporting a new type of fascism.

Which are you?

A "new type of fascism"? Is that anything like "A New Argentina"?

"Iraq is involved in Terrorism."
"I never said Iraq was involved in global terrorism."
"Iraq had links to Al Qaeda."
"Al Qaeda committed 9/11, therefore, it was Iraq's fault."
"look, we never said Iraq was involved in 9/11."

And now comes the big gun, that being against the war is supporting fascism.
What's REALLY fun about these whackos is that you can take their sentences right out of the article and they relate directly back to what they themselves are doing.

“I recount this history because once again we face similar challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism,” he said.

That fascism wouldn't be spying on citizens without warrants, holding people indefinitely in a prison without charging them with crimes or even letting them know why they're there, spending billions of dollars on a war in which thousands of Americans and exponentially more locals are dying almost daily, all the while rewarding your business colleagues with no build reconstruction contracts, would it?
That fascism wouldn't stage photo ops like standing in Biloxi, MS in front of rebuilt homes while, right behind the cameras, totally leveled houses remain unremoved and not even close to being rebuilt, all the while touting the government's committment to restoring the region?

Obviously the real question is whether this administration is simply suffering from confusion or has knowingly chosen to put our country on a path toward fascism.
