Well, according to the AP, she's not denying saying this.

Justice Minister Herta Daeubler-Gmelin told a small group of labor union members on Wednesday that Bush was going after Iraq to divert attention from domestic problems. ``That's a popular method. Even Hitler did that,'' the German newspaper, Schwaebisches Tagblatt, quoted her as saying.

The minister called the report misleading but did not deny the remarks.

``I would regret it very much if this matter were to cast the slightest shadow on my respect for the president of the United States,'' she said.

Opposition conservatives vying to defeat Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's Social Democrats in Sunday's parliamentary elections called for her resignation.

``This shows what Schroeder and his Social Democrats really think of our American allies,'' said Thomas Goppel, an aide to conservative challenger Edmund Stoiber.

A German government spokesman said Schroeder could not imagine Daeubler-Gmelin had meant to liken Bush to Hitler.

``If anyone were to compare the American president with a criminal, they would have no place in the government,'' Schroeder said on German television network ZDF.

In what is anticipated to be an election as nip and tuck as Bush and Gore; this gaffe could tilt matters towards Stoiber.

I hope so, because time is running out for Germany. Germany may be Muslim within half a century if liberals stay in power.
