This is what “liberal” commentators think
Back in 2003, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman talked about his reasons for backing the Iraq war: What they needed to see was American boys and girls going house to house, from Basra to Baghdad, um and basically saying, ‘Which part of this sentence don’t you understand?’ You don’t think, you know, we care…
Let’s talk about Jewish power
Jewish blogger Philip Weiss examines the ways in which the issue of Jewish power is rarely discussed in the mainstream, but clearly needs to be if the disasters of the Bush administration are to be fully examined. Why can’t we talk openly about the role of Jews and Israel behind the Iraq war? Why can’t…

American journalist Jeffrey Goldberg – a man who strongly advocated the war in Iraq, published numerous dodgy articles connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda and argued the US would succeed there in no time – has now published this telling remark: Nor were neoconservative ideologues—who had the most-elaborate visions of a liberal, democratic Iraq—interested in the Kurdish…

William Kristol is a leading neo-conservative, Jewish commentator who advocated the invasion of Iraq and whose ideal Middle East is multiple wars against Islamic “fascists”. He must be disappointed with George W. Bush’s hesitations. Tragically, the Jewish community has allowed people like Kristol to speak for them on matters of national security, despite the majority…
Taking Bush far further
More here on a man who would undoubtedly cause America to be hated around the world more than it is already.
The never-ending threat
Next time you hear some media blowhard talking about the “threat” from Iran, remember the story about the boy who crief wolf (over and over again):
