Karat attacks George Bush, says he's a 'fool'

New Delhi: The CPI-M on Wednesday attacked US President George W Bush by describing him as a “fool”.

The reason for the scathing attack was because Bush had compared Russian leader Lenin with the likes of Osama bin Laden and Adolf Hitler.

"He (George Bush) is a fool. I have heard that a few days ago he said Lenin, Hitler and Osama Bin Laden were alike," CPI-M General Secretary Prakash Karat was quoted by news agency PTI as saying.

Karat, who was addressing a function here to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Russia's 1917 October Revolution, added, “The world knows he is weak in the knowledge of history but now it has also been established that George Bush is also a fool.”

Karat asked the party cadres to take a pledge to weed out imperialism from the world.
