Delusional Mr. Roberts bump!
No matter what the Democrat's current pre-election spin is, you just know that, should they capture the House in Nov., this is the reasoning they will give to impeach the President next year. They just "cain't hep it", as Ann Richards used to say.
What happened to this guy? In the 1980s he was sensible, but now, he's stark raving mad. Why does he hate Bush? More important, why does he hate America? Any ideas?
Paleo-CON foolishness.
The only response this article warrants is my tagline.
PCR thinks that if his columns reach the point of outright outrage and treason, and then surpass it, that someone... anyone will read them. Sorry doc, no soap. PCR is certifiably "Sheehan", which is to say, insane.
You know when you see a thread title like this that the article will be a fountain of dumb, but this exceeds any expectations.
Iran has attacked no one? Well, not with their army, but they attacked and occupied our sovereign territory in 1979 and treated our embassy personnel in a way far beyond the bounds of humane conduct. That action, though despicable, is dwarfed by their sponsorship of numerous terror organizations from the end of the Shah's reign to this very day.
North Korea? Ask Japan about peaceful North Korea. How would Roberts feel if Canada, which hasn't fought us since the 1814, decided to kidnap Americans so they could better train spies to operate in our territory? How does a country with concentration camps not land on a list of evil regimes?
Iraq? Puh-leeze! Iraq has been in a state of war against this nation from the moment our planes took off on the first night of the Gulf War. What kind of moron looks at a country that has been shooting at American pilots and trying to kill an American president and doesn't see an enemy? I'll answer that: A hateful little moron.
By Roberts' definition, the 9/11 attacks must not have happened, because Afghanistan didn't attack us.
Didn't this guy used to be on our side?
For years they have provided their people with a wonderful supply of bark to eat.
Imagine if in 1945 the NYT had reported on how many GIs were being prosecuted for raping civilians in the European theater, and then blamed FDR for the rapes, called him a rapist (after all, poor Germany would have left us alone if he hadn't cozied up to Britian so much) and said he was the same as Hitler.
I don't see any difference between Roberts' comments here and that scenario. I also don't see how the Commander in Chief could be a terrorist but the troops under his command aren't. In other words, Mister Roberts is saying my nephew and my friends are terrorists, and he's doing it on your dime.
Don't give me any jazz about "Free Speech" or tell me how patriotic you are. NewsMax is a private enterprise that gets to decide what content it carries, and one of your columnists is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Give me a reason any conservative, or any other patriotic American, should ever visit NewsMax again. Tell me why your site should not dry up from lack of traffic and die with a whimper because of this treason.
DU-worthy.
Roberts had to get in the usual "America does Israel's bidding" crack, typical of the whackjobs at LewRockwell. I'm surprised he didn't sprinkle in some "neocon Zionists" language.
"Why is the U.S. superpower orchestrating fear of puny Iran?"
A country the size of Iran with a population of 80 million is far from "puny," and this particular country is currently ruled by crazed Islamists intent on manufacturing nuclear weapons. Seems Roberts is deluded into believing the MAD (mutually assured destruction) policy that worked with the Soviets during the Cold War would work equally well with the Islamic world.
Who is Paul Craig Roberts?
More people have probably heard of Buckhead than have hear of this guy!
(Buckhead - Dan Rather end of life!)
Proof that Paul Craig Roberts hates America at least as much as Rep. John Murtha, with a dash of Jew-hatred in the mix.
Or is it simply hatred of out-of-control government?
