No. This is from post # 12. "Today is not then. I am not being a bonehead here, just stating historical fact. They were stripped of their German citizenship. During that time (at least according to the Nazi's) they were stateless people. As much as I think it was a stupid statement by the Trump administration, legally and technically it is correct. "

If Assad declared all rebels non-citizens, would it change anything in the atrocities he is committing?

Legally?
This has nothing to do with legality. Or him being technically correct on a irrelevant point. He shamelessly made a ridiculous and idiotic comparison to somehow pump up the reason for attacking Assad.
It was legal according the state of Germany at the time. Their government passed the laws. Once again, I do not agree with any of this. Just pointing out history.
I don't, I suspect they considered themselves Hitlers people as much as those gassed by Assad considers themselves ASssad's people.
I'm an Americans but I absolutely do not consider myself one of Rump's people.
No. But he could certainly say he was not gassing his own citizens.

But who cares what was legal according to the state of Germany? If they declared it legal to gas innocent people to death does that change the fact they were gassing innocent people to death?
so it was immediately clarified -why do you start these picayune threads?

And nothing would change the atrocity whatsoever. Just like Germany declaring Jews not to be citizens didn't change the atrocity he committed against them whatsoever.
The Jews cared. They paid for those laws with their lives.
I agree with that.
He has yet to admit a mistake.

Who gives a fuck that he "clarified" what was a ridiculous and idiotic comparison from the get go.
He was an idiot to make any such comparison. German was the first country to produce Sarin but the war was already coming to an end before they could manufacturer it in large quantites, so who gives a fuck what Hitler didn't do with it, especially since he was using other poisonous gases to kill his own civilians/people in mass.

I don't think they cared that they were gassed as non-citizens rather than being gassed as citizens.
it was to show it wasn't used on the battlefield -that was a valid point.
It was extraneous -but valid
well that is a valid point, but admitting mistakes doesn't generate any good will or do anything at all for a press sec.
Obama's press sec used to do the "I refer you to's" much more oblique nothingness.
I'll take an overstatement in comparison to obfuscation -at least the press conference are designed to infom

Funny - whenever anyone brings up Hitler on this board, the righties usually trot out that tired old meme that the 1st person to bring up Hitler is losing the argument...

I don't believe Assad thinks of those who oppose him as citizens either. Does that mean they aren't?

Did he face a battle in his own country?

Anyone who knows history knows Hitler didn't consider Jews as his people.
