Here we have a conservative, presumably Republican, criticizing other prominent conservatives and Republicans who happen to support the Iraq War. I'm sure y'all don't agree with all of it; I sure don't, since I support our efforts in Iraq (for now). Just one man's analysis, I guess...

American troops are in Iraq on false pretenses. No one knows all the fateful consequences of this mistaken adventure. Bush’s reelection would be seen as a vindication of aggression, and more aggression would likely follow. A continuing expenditure of blood, money, alliances, good will, and civil liberties is not a future to which to look forward.

Okay. So when will you be moving to France, Mr. Roberts?

They regard truthful reports that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction and was not involved in the September 11 attack on the US – truths now firmly established by the Bush administration’s own reports – as treasonous America-bashing.

This is not accurate. All the stuff went to Syria. And Saddam was actively trying to restart his WMD program.

I used to like and respect PCR, but lately he has been awful sloppy.

Willfully so.

It's been here on the site. There were reports about a year ago (?) that discussed that. The US tracked some of the convoys.

I was there when Paul Craig Roberts was given a writing award by a conservative organization, about ten years ago. Based on this biased and destructive article, that organization should demand its award back.

But then, this is not the first time that a "smart" person has put forward a "dumb" article.

I'm putting my flameproof suit on right now...but I think he has a point. We know the DUmmies are never really open to true debate...if you don't agree with them you are an idiot, a moron, etc., etc. I would like to think that those of us on the right are amenable to open debate about the issues. I don't agree with him that the war in Iraq is the action of a police state, but I would rather listen to his opinion and rebut his arguments than just reflexively shout back, "You're an idiot!"

This actually ghostwritten by Michael Moore, right?

And while he may not have been *directly* involved in the 9/11 attacks, there is no doubt that he has worked with and supported the very terrorist group that is directly responsible.

And if anyone wants to consider links between Saddam Hussein and 9/11, he or she can just take a look at Salman Pak.

TSR, I thought the article was about liberals and their AFL-CIO thugs attacking Republican Campaign Offices.

Silly me.
