Iraq calls Bush 'the Hitler of Washington'

An Iraqi newspaper today condemned US President George Bush as 'the Hitler of Washington' and urged the UN Security Council to oppose US moves for a tough new resolution on Baghdad.

"The Security Council, with its permanent and non-permanent members, should take a firm stand against this US attempt and not bend to pressure and blackmails on the expense of Iraq," the ruling Baath party’s al-Thawra newspaper said in a front page editorial.
