Honest question:

Who's Paul Craig Roberts?

[dts32041]

Huh I wonder if the neocon's are reprising the roll of white man's burden and manifest destiny to the world?

[ScottFromSpokane]

I wrote Roberts off when he advocated making Israel judenrein.

Like Pat Buchanan, if he isn't an anti-Senmite, he'll do until one comes along.

Many Christians think that war in the Middle East signals "end times" and that they are about to be wafted up to heaven.

I've never heard of such a "theology" from any Christian. Just like the left, Roberts takes a cheap shot to mock a wide swath of Evangelicals. Keep digging that hole, buddy.

He must have some French genes. French lesson:

#1 Don't take part in a fracas until you see which side is winning.

#2 Jump on the winning bandwagon.

#3 If you encounter any difficulty, adversity or setback...retreat.

#4 When you get wobbly........jump ship, change sides and cry uncle or call your mommy.

"He was distinguished fellow at the Cato Institute from 1993 to 1996."

That's all you need to know about this guy.

[roses of sharon]

We did it their way for the last 30 years, and got:

1. 9/11

2. 30 years of Islamic cults roaming the globe murdering innocents with impunity, all the while claiming to be "victims" of Israel.

3. War with Saddam and Sons

4. Surrender of Saddam and Sons

5. Saddam and Sons "contained" by troops in SA for over a decade.

6. Sanctions on Saddam and Sons, that consigned millions to his tyranny.

7. Saddam and Sons with billions for WMD

8. Numerous attacks by the Islamic cults on US military, citizens, institutions.

9. Israel's election of numerous PM's to find "peace" with the Islamic cults, and their benefactors, ie Saddam.

10. A UN tolerant of terrorists and Islamic terrorism against the Jews.
11. Afghanistan run by OBL.

l2. Arafat with a "peace" prize.

Give the neo-cons a chance, you have had yours.

Whoever he is, he's so wrong here that it is understandable to mistake him for a Democrat. I think we've had enough of the Ostritch strategy for one war.

[Mad Mammoth]

I knew who Paul Craig Roberts was, but if he is opposed to the U.S. liberation of Iraq, that means that his only default position is that he would prefer to see Saddam still in power.

I submit that 25 million Iraqis would be happy to kick Roberts ignorant azz until he sees the light.

Until then, he remains an embittered has-been.

[Honestfreedom]

And neoconservatives are laying the groundwork for Israeli territorial expansion.<<

What a moron, Israel is retreating from the Gaza. What expansion is this idiot talking about?

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

Paul Craig Roberts has been a regular contributor to The Washington Times. I believe he has a PhD and was certainly a regular, outspoken critic of the Clinton Administration on many issues.

I think he overstates his case in the article but some reactions on this thread to Mr. Roberts' words do confirm some of the blind Bush zealotry posing as loyalty about which Mr. Roberts warns.

As I have said before, I don't even agree with my own mother on everything and I love her. Bush certainly isn't my mother.

People are not certifiably crazy just because they tell you things you don't want to hear or believe. That kind of reaction is closer to the beliefs of the Taliban than to those of our founding fathers.

----neoconservative ideologues----

I'm finding more and more that paleoconservatism and anti-Semitism tend to go hand-in-hand.
