Mugabe on Hitler/Mugabe as Hitler

Oh, this is rich. Robert Mugabe at a UN meeting in Rome, referring to Bush and Blair:

Must we allow these men, the two unholy men of our millennium, who in the same way as Hitler and Mussolini formed their unholy alliance, formed an alliance to attack an innocent country?

But what’s so bad about Hitler? Here’s Mugabe on March 21, 2003:

This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources…if that is Hitler, then let me be a Hitler tenfold. Ten times Hitler, that is what we stand for.
