Excerpt:
"We spent a fortune attacking a country that had done us no harm, killing tens of thousands of its people and giving the United States a black eye as an aggressor that starts wars on the basis of lies and disinformation."

1. Rats deserting the sinking shit

You wouldn't have thought Newschmux had spent the last year and a half pimping for this debacle, would you?

But then dittomonkeys don't really have enough attention span for any sort of logical consistency.

[grytpype]

9. sinking shit, or ship?

It works either way. I like the idea of the Bush Junta as a floating turd raft, infested with diseased rats that are jumping off because they can't stand the smell... Sounds like a perfect metaphor to me!

[CatWoman]

14. STINKING SHIP

:D

[MrBenchley]

15. The metaphor fits, don't it?

How many Newschmux readers will be too stupid to remember Ruddy and his gang were cheerleading for the war up to now?

[wtmusic]

2. This is truly amazing

Here here for NewsMax. We should accept support wherever we can get it.

3. Can there be any question...

That The Scaife Brigade has read the handwriting on the wall and has made ready to toss Chimpington over the side, in the hopes of slowing the sinking of the neo-con ship?

The garbage scow "Hubris" that has run aground on the shoals of Nemesis.

11. The garbage scow "Hubris" that has run aground on the shoals of Nemesis.

Eu Legei!

Well Said!

4. bio on Paul Craig Roberts can be found here

[Grins]

10. Interesting bio...

That's an interesting bio. My first thought was, "Has this guy ever held a real job?" I know. I know. That's smarmy (sp?). But the way it is written suggests that this very bright person went from his BS, to his MS, to Ph.D to academia, to government and back to academia. My question is, if he was a democrat, would the Repubs then call him a "pointy-headed" (academic/conservative/whatever)? I like the article.

5. This has to be a satire or parody!!

:wtf: :smoke:

[Sick of Bullshit]

6. Get this last line:

"It is time Bush replaced his delusional neocon advisers with wise people of integrity."

Excuse me, Dr. Roberts, but BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

The reason why the doofus in the White House surrounds himself with idiotic neocons who lack integrity is because HE HIMSELF has ABSOLUTELY NONE! ZERO! ZIP! ZILCH!

Honest men prefer the company of other honest men. Crooks prefer the company of other crooks. It's as simple as that.

[priller]

8. And an impotent, insecure man-child wants

to be surrounded with fawning sycophants, where seldom is heard a discouraging word.

[MrBenchley]

16. Wonder who they mean?

Dan Burton?
Bob Barr?
Newt Gingrich?
Bill Bennett?

[ET Awful]

7. Firstly . . .

Thanks for the link, I'm still laughing . . .

Secondly, someone needs to stealth post this over at freerepublic and get their reactions :) :) :)

This could be really, really funny.

12. Another snippet

"Sooner or later, even the brain-dead are going to realize that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, was not a threat to us (until neocons got us mired down there) and had nothing to do with the events of Sept. 11."

17. Another article linked from that: "President (sic) Bush is not a Neo-con"

It's equally entertaining--an attempt to get Bush* separated from any blame for what's happened. This is purely delusional--but if it splits the GOP and saves lives in Iraq, well that's good anyway. What interested me especially in the article was that now they're backing away from the building-democracy theme (the 2nd cover excuse for attack, after WMD) and back to "the war on terrorism." It's dizzying, all this spinning of spin.

President Bush Is Not a Neocon
David Limbaugh
Friday, Sept. 5, 2003

<<It may surprise you to know that there are those of us out here (I'd call us mainstream conservatives) who are hawkish against terrorism and bullish on Israel, yet not interested in creating an American empire. Our guiding principle is protecting America's strategic national interests. If that means we sometimes have to attack other nations, even preemptively, so be it. We are far from being isolationists, but we are just as far from being imperialists.

If I'm correct that President Bush more closely resembles us mainstream conservatives here, then I think it's safe to say that he isn't looking to conquer other countries for sport – or even to make them safe for democracy or Israel. He isn't even looking to take on the other two Axis of Evil countries: North Korea and Iran.

Rather, he's focused on going after anti-American terrorists and their supporters and enablers – just as he's told us from the beginning. That could lead us into Iran, North Korea or even Saudi Arabia (though our curious relationship with Saudi Arabia is another matter altogether).

Bush's opponents – at least the paleocons – would have much less anxiety about him if they understood that he really isn't a neoconservative. He's a neo anti-terrorist.<end>

18. Note to Self

Not paying the PR crowd was a big mistake
Firing the PR crowd was even worse.

Why won't they simply accept Enron stock options in lieu of cash?

[shance]

19. Roberts wrote a wonderful article called A Wreckless Path

Prior to the invasion of Iraq.

In the article he touched on the possibility of impeachment for Bush.

[jfxgillis]

21. I was about to point that out.

Roberts was (paleo-?) or (libertarian-?) conservative opponent of the Iraq adventure from the start.

20. priceless quote

"Sooner or later, even the brain-dead are going to realize that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, was not a threat to us (until neocons got us mired down there) and had nothing to do with the events of Sept. 11."
