Alpha Weasel Repeats History
At a press conference yesterday in Paris, überweasel Jacques Chirac said “history does not repeat itself.”
Over the past 10 days, Bush has attempted to link the overthrow of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein with the struggle to defeat Nazism in World War II. He even quoted from Supreme Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower’s message to U.S., British and Canadian troops on the eve of D-Day during a commencement address last week at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
In their news conference yesterday in Paris, Chirac flatly rejected that comparison.
“History does not repeat itself,” he said. “It is very difficult to compare historical situations that differ, because history is not repetitive.”
Thus proving that those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it.
