From a local feller writing for a declining circulation West Texas wannabe news organization that includes this guy in their stable of "columnists." I read it for the obits and sales. Otherwise useless.

Gog, Magog And The Iraq Invasion

[texas_mrs]

Oh, my God. Without even reading it I know what you're talking about. I can't read his articles anymore because the paper where I used to read his articles (Brownwood Bulletin) requires a subscription. But I have argued with him directly by email and in the paper.

He's a Jew hater, Palestinian loving, so-called Christian. He has a soft-spoken manner, but you can just hear the seething hatred for the right in everything he writes.

I will leave it to readers, now that you have the facts, what this strange, but plausible, report tells us.

That you can't articulate worth a nickel?

[Scythian]

“Incredibly, President George W. Bush told French President Jacques Chirac, in early 2003, that Iraq must be invaded to thwart Gog and Magog, the Bible’s satanic agents of the Apocalypse.”

This guy's a "cook" (inside joke)

[Stosh]

From the “article” (I use the word advisedly):

“He stormed into Iraq claiming it was a “crusade,” ...”

Bush did use the word “crusade” once or twice, until the inflammatory implications of it were pointed out to him, but he certainly never used it in the sense of a religious crusade, as the joker who wrote this piece implies.

And that was enough to tell me what the article as a whole was worth (which is below its value as fishwrap).

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"But in 2007, he includes this stunning story that Bush, in a top-secret phone call"

If this article were written about a Democratic president the entire focus would be on the breaking of a trust from a private conversation, as per Linda Tripp's revelations regarding Monica Lewinsky and President Clinton, we were told the real story there was the betrayal of things told in confidence.

But then, who expects consistency and integrity from liberals such as this little tool, with their self-proclaimed noble cause wherein the ends always justify the means.

I never argue with anyone to whom a newspaper of any size gives a periodic voice of controversy. It feeds too many ill-formed and needy egos that can only be fed by publically making a fool of oneself by posing as someone (ie. “a columnist”)who thinks they have something important to say.
