And what does he know about being President?

Some pip-squeak FOX talking head who panders to the war machine.

Published just before Communism began its collapse in Eastern Europe, Red Army is about a Soviet invasion of West Germany, which the Russians end up winning, which didn't surprise me, since Peters' narrative throughout the book was pro-Soviet!

In addition to being a loudmouth tool of the neocons, here was his expert observations on Iraq in 2006:

The Iraqi Army has confounded its Western critics, performing extremely well last week. And the people trust their new army to an encouraging degree."

Yeah, that Iraqi Army created by the neocons on the cheap have done a wonderful job of defending Iraq, and that is why they have remade Iraq into the peaceful democracy it is today.

9. Peter's plan for dealing with the terrorists:

1. You accept that you are in a war.
2. You name the enemy: Islamist terrorists.
3. You get the lawyers off the battlefield and out of the targeting cell.
4. You accept there will be collateral damage, and do you not apologize for it.
5. You do not nation build. You don’t hold — try to hold ground.
6. You go wherever in the world the terrorists are and you kill them. You do your best to exterminate them, and then you leave, and you leave behind smoking ruins and crying widows. If in five or ten years they reconstitute and you have got to go back, you go back and you do the same thing and you never never never send American troops into a war you don’t mean to win.
7. Be as merciless as the enemy, if you’re not willing to do that, they will win.

People watch this crap all day long then go and post it on the facebook and gosh knows where else. This country is going down the toilet. I was, am, always will be pissed at the idiot son, but look what he did to this country and the entire region.

Peace
