The bad guys/gals are NEVER those making an obvious attempt to undermine America - like Pelosi, Reid, Murtha and the rest of the RATS. NEVER!
Paul Craig Roberts is an asshat and so is his pal Lou Dobbs.
It's been off, T.
Paul Craig Roberts has probably gone clinically insane, from the fact that this article alone has enough lather in it to fill Lake Erie.
I need more proof. Can the rest of the country actually SEE that passport?
One birth certificate will work as well - no?
PCR ping
> Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration.
Republicans need to be a little more careful picking their cabinet.
Mr. Roberts, Master from “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome” called. He wants to harvest your brains to fuel Bartertown.
He forgot to mention PNAC. Doing so is obligatory if one is to remain in the good graces of his new friends, such as the neo-Stalinist Alexander Cockburn.
Wasn’t the Iraq quagmire his issue for several years? And no mention of it here , other than as fly-over country? BTW anything been heard of from Blue Moon General Bill Odom or Sandy Berger’s pal, Scowcroft?
Ah, well yeah! They are all evil, all communists, all selfish and want to control everyone else.
PCR has turned into a babbling raving loon. Don’t pay much attention to him, so I don’t know how long he has been this demented, but here he is simply an apologist for Putin and for all of America’s enemies. I would not trust anything he has to say about anything ever again b/c he is a fool.
Answering my own question
TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE ON IRAQ
By William E. Odom, LT General, USA, Ret.
2 April 2008
Good morning Mr. Chairman and members of the committee. It is an honor to appear before you again. The last occasion was in January 2007, when the topic was the troop surge. Today you are asking if it has worked. Last year I rejected the claim that it was a new strategy. Rather, I said, it is a new tactic used to achieve the same old strategic aim, political stability. And I foresaw no serious prospects for success.
I see no reason to change my judgment now. The surge is prolonging instability, not creating the conditions for unity as the president claims.

Maybe he’ll never be heard from again, which would also be a kinder fate for PCR.
It is quite possible and not infrequent to obtain a US passport without a US birth certificate. You only need two things for a passport application besides your photo: proof of identity and proof of citizenship. The proof of identity most commonly used is a photo driver’s license. The proof of citizenship most commonly used is a birth certificate, but naturalization papers are fairly common also. Secondary birth evidence such as baptismal certificates, hospital birth records, medical records, early census reports, elementary school transcripts, insurance records, family Bible records, or newspaper articles announcing the birth can also be considered when accompanied by affidavits of personal knowledge completed by an older blood relative with personal knowledge of the birth of the applicant. So no, a birth certificate is not required to get a US passport.
“PCR has turned into a babbling raving loon.”
That sadly sums it up.
self-ping.
I’ve never seen a president or secretary of state or visiting dignitary(of which was Obama) produce a passport at any time to anyone. They land, State picks them up on the tarmack and they go. When they come back, they are driven by their people right to the plane and they leave. Who is to know if they have a passport?
Anyone who works for State can attest to this.
That being said, a fake bc is last on my list to look into.
As for the crime of drilling offshore would someone please stick this asshole’s face into a map that includes florida and Cuba, and inform him that India and China are both drilling off of Cuba, in fact closer to Florida than Cuba, and ask him what the hell the difference is? And if he thinks Inda and China are better at drilling off shore than American companies?
Thanks
A sampling of his writings will convince any objective reader that PCR is a functioning lunatic, i.e. he makes a living spouting unprovable nonsense.
He joins the "truthers" in a living bedlam of online hysterics that I don't recommend be taken seriously.
As near as I can see, Roberts was still writing mainstream conservative stuff into the middle 1990’s. It is said that he went over to Lew Rockwell and other fringe sites because he didn’t like the Iraq war, but he is now making truther charges about 9/11 and calling for President Bush’s impeachment. What a sad comedown for the guy who drafted Kemp/Roth and the other supply side policies of the 80’s and 90’s.
