i don't think even for a person as evil as adolf hitler i don't think america could have looked in the mirror and said we're going to shoot a prisoner and have no process. i don't think america would have done that. i don't think they would have done that with osama and i really think i'm 95% certain this factor is what caused it to be so long to get osama, because i think both president bush and president obama were very wary of taking him alive. it would have been a practical nightmare, a foreign policy nightmare. >> could you imagine the security nightmare alone. >> absolutely. >> i have to disagree fundamentally. i think thank goodness we had the nuremberg trials and the whole world could see the horrors of what the nazis perpetrated on the jews. thank god we had the eichmann trials. i think bringing home the horrors of osama bin laden would have given relief we were murderers. >> but it would have been complicated, very complicated. >> does any one of you see anyone stepping up to may the same organizational role that bin -- play the same organizational role that osama bin laden b

at a press conference, he spoke of his german heritage and joked that he sympathized with adolf hitler. it sparked outrage among holocaust survivor groups. he apologized but was asked to leave. i asked our rock correspondent whether or not he vented progress of course, he did not mean it. -- whether not he meant it. >> of course, he did not mean it. this time, he went too far for his own standards. he did not mean it, but he should have known better. even he should know there is a line should not cross. he apologized again. he is sorry that damage was done at the festival and to his reputation. but it is typical of him being named persona non grata, to show that he is still in rebel. >> why did he make these comments that are highly sensitive and inappropriate? >> i think it is largely to do with the competition here. it is not competitive at all. partly, this had to do with him bringing in a provocative film to cannes, and wanting to be seen as a provocateur. he did it with his public statements. >> thank you very much for that. queen elizabeth ii will continue her historic trip to th

maybe back to adolf hitler. so the second thing i would like to say to a parent is that kids of all ages are better able to process, understand, and deal with tragic and difficult circumstances than adults usually give them credit for. our natural instinct as grown- ups is to protect them and not have them know about it which is impossible in today's media world. this is the best advice as a parents. sit down with your child. tell them the story about how we got where we are now. because these kids weren't around for what happened. >> yeah they have no idea what we are talking about. >> i don't know if you want to show them the pictures. tell them a story that fits their age. a 7-year-old, there is this bad thing that happened ten years ago. a lot of people died. a lot of americans died. there is this very bad man who was responsible for leading the people who did this terrible thing. we have been looking for him for ten years. young kids understand justice. if you do something bad, there are consequences for th

before i believe the muslims today are treated the same way jews were treated in nazi germany adolf hitler had to justify what her name and i mean all i hear is not like anyone is going hard in a way that concentrates here in the usa of the world what about all of these entrapment what about all of these cases if you ok there is a difference in reporting the news and living it you see we live it every day so if if you have to report on this and you will have well there's a possibility of this good we live this every day in this country right now to muslims is what we said it was fifteen years ago a constitutional dictatorship that's what it is that's how we're treated but the fact is i mean you're still able to come here and talk with me openly about all your actions and your only words i could not repress and about in my ears and you hurt me about not rising writers and i get arrested every other day i was booed. twice last month my wife was a star preacher does. school to teachers and harassed and what have you the swat team to sustain your own burning road who i'm saying is is i can com

certainly been vilified thoroughly vilified in the west and presented as a monster or a latter day adolf hitler i'm not sure if that's all true i think the fact is that if he were as bad as we keep saying he is that he wouldn't have the support he has like just yes he would have been removed quite quickly so whatever he's doing there are there are people who who do support him for their own reasons and not just because he's forcing them to do so rather than leave it there george county former u.s. foreign service officer speaking with us from washington thank you. stay with us here on r.g.p. coming your way how a sex scandal could upset europe's first full recovery. studio for allegedly assaulting a hotel maid putting his influence our hero belo talks and his candidacy for the french presidency on line. but first european finance ministers are having to dig deeper into their pockets after finalizing seventy eight billion euros in aid for portugal they're meeting in brussels where greece is also vying for more funds and has already been bailed out by the international monetary fund but needs mor

opinions there was nothing more important happening in the world i'm reminded of a quote from adolf hitler all propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach. well america's least intelligent were out in force last night at the white house we'd like to provide our audience with something more substantive and in case your head is still spinning from the recent outpouring of jingoism for a little spin in the other direction joining me now from ontario canada is none other than master towner propagandist stuff on molyneux so fun thank you so much for joining us tonight and i want to throw for the first question i know that this is absolutely absurd ridiculous presumption but just for argument's sake let's say that we can trust our government and that the general narrative about bin laden's death is true what does the way that this is being communicated by our government tell you that they are hoping to achieve with this. that's a great question i would argue that this is right after the ryan budget and t

adolf hitler killed himself on april 30. it was announced on may 1.rst and last close encounter with american special forces team. there were those who claimed hitler never died because he fled on a ghost convoy to argentina. the conspiracy theories never stop. further more, i don't know why we didn't keep -- i mean keep him on ice next to the body of disney. you know he is on the island with the fake hippopotamus. that's where disney is kept. you know that. why not keep bin laden there. why were we so cautious about following the traditional procedures for islamic burial. preparations at sea for an at-sea burial began at 1:10:00 a.m. and were completed at 2:00 a.m.. the body was on the deck of the u.s. air craft carrier in the north arabian sea, after being washed according to islamic custom and receiving a religious funeral. the body was placed in a white sheet and put on a flat board and they slid him off in the sea. may i just say, i'm pretty sure, i know i heard it from my own government. the last one, the last administration and this administrat

and adolf hitler. e viewed hitler, he told friends that this was the incarnation of evil, and he was really fascinated by hitler throughout the war. in fact, at one point he had a team of psychologists and psychiatrists do a very extensive psychological profile of hitler, which was fairly good. i read to the whole thing. it's fascinating. they predicted among other things that hitler would likely never surrender, that he would hole up and fight it out and commit suicide indian. they also had a good bit of information they collected on hitler's sex life. and donovan had that spiced up, sent out as propaganda later on. he thought that would be a good propaganda tool. >> as a biographer i know there are always, remain questions you can't answer about your subject. is there anything about donovan you are still questioning, you still don't feel you know everything about? >> yeah, there are. he didn't -- it's interesting. he never wanted to write an autobiography of himself. there were several publishers who

the demise of adolf hitler was a good day for the world and a good day for me.n drafted out of college into the 17th field artillery, and while i didn't think so at the time, it was one of the best days of my life. hitler changed the good life i was having as a student by taking me out of college and immersing me in the real world of world war ii. i hated it, but during four years at war, i got an education college could not have given me. the death of osama bin laden this week was that kind of day for the world. for someone my age, there are marked similarities between the deaths of hitler and bin laden. they were both power hungry men who would stop at nothing to get the power they lived for. it's hard to believe such men existed. they didn't do it for their countrymen, either; they did it for themselves. maybe we should celebrate, because as president obama said last sunday... >> obama: "the death of bin laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al qaeda." >> rooney: and in this month which ends with our recognition

this would be like if our troops captured adolf hitler and then got rid of the body. a kindergartner can see this is wrong. this is a setup for an attack on americans by criminal elements within our own government. host: we have a lot of people who have expressed this point of view over the last several days. even al qaeda confirmed that bin laden is dead. you do not believe that? caller: as many others do, i believe that bin laden died in 2002. he was a very sick man in ill health. the war on terror -- what we're dealing with is unconventional warfare. our adversaries are indeed in unconventional warfare. the powers that be collet "error" to create -- call it "terror" to create a boogeyman. host: thank you for your call. caller: i do not think terrorism will be over for a long time, as long as people can start conflict and make money off of it. they will keep stirring up different complex here and there -- conflicts here and there. i want to see bin laden's head on a stick at the hole where the trade center was. i want to see him desecrated. another part of me says,

osama bin laden, one of the worst men to walk the earth since adolf hitler, is dead. while on the run for many years, bin laden continued to plan and coordinate attacks against americans. he was only found and killed because of the brave men and women in our military and in our intelligence community. we have some of the best intelligence operations in the world, and if we want to continue the fight against terrorism we need to keep it that way. and this bill does just that. the bill authorizes funding for the dedicated men and women of the intelligence community to help them do their jobs and protect american citizens. in my tenure on the intelligence committee, i have had the privilege of visiting with many of the courageous and extremely bright people who work in intelligence. after meeting them, there's no doubt in my mind that we are in good hands and i have a greater appreciation for the work they do to keep america safe every day. it's incredibly important that we support those efforts, especially in light of the extraordinary job the intelligence community did
