Paul Craig Roberts: 'Attention deficit Americans are being misled to war'

A terrible thing is happening, and not enough Americans are aware to be able to do anything about it. Zionists in Israel and in the Bush administration are leading America into war with Iran, Syria, Hizbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Palestine. The consequences for America, Israel and the Middle East will be disastrous, but as long as Washington is in thrall to Zionist paranoia, nothing can be done about it. Bush made this clear on July 14 when he rejected the plea from Lebanon's prime minister to pressure Israel to stop its attack on Lebanon.

The war began when Bush's neoconservative government invaded Afghanistan and Iraq under the pretense of "fighting terrorism." Neither front has gone well for America. The Israelis, seeing the growing domestic opposition to Bush's wars of choice, concluded that they are in danger of losing America's military intervention in behalf of their Middle East interests. Israel decided to force the issue.

Israel did this by bombing and invading Gaza, from which they had just withdrawn as part of a "Palestinian settlement." Israel's pretext was the capture of one Israeli soldier in Gaza in retribution for Israel's genocidal policies toward Palestine. Few Americans know that Israel has forced Palestinians into ghettos and walled them off from their farm lands, schools, and medical treatment.

By slaughtering scores of civilians and destroying the infrastructure of the fragile land in response to the capture of one Israeli soldier, Israel has made it clear that its policy is fire and sword.

1. we can't win this...until we start running off the mediawhores

thus far, noone's doing nothing about the mediawhores, who are the bushreich's soft spot.....and that means the mess must get worse and worse until someone does decide to do something, about the mediawhores. until then, it's all blah blah blah.
notice robert novak is back, and very popular among the sheeplets - judy miller is preparing her book tour, which will give her wealth beyond counting. That's society speaking. And that means we are just worrying about nothing! so let's just say fukkit, and enjoy the spectacle.....

2. Look at this paragraph. holy cow!

Paul Craig Roberts:
http://www.smirkingchimp.com/article.php?sid=26899&mode=nested&order=0

"America is being led by a handful of traitors into participating in "regime change" that might succeed or might dethrone our bought and paid for puppets in Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. If Pakistan were to fall to Islamist forces, Muslims would have a nuclear capability as a counterpart to Israel's and America's."

4. About the author...

This author writes for a hate site.

I just googled the guy & he's a proud writer for VDARE, an anti-immigrant site that is a coalition of neoconservatives, nationalists & white supremacists. They're named after "Virginia Dare", the first white baby born in the US, and are devoted to "keeping America white". The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled the group a hate site.

A selection of VDARE articles:

"Brimelow's site carries archives of columns from men like Sam Francis, who is the editor of the newspaper of the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens, a group whose Web page recently described blacks as "a retrograde species of humanity."

It has run articles by Jared Taylor, the editor of the white supremacist American Renaissance magazine, which specializes in dubious race and IQ studies and eugenics, the "science" of "race betterment" through selective breeding."

In addition to campaigning against minorities & non-white immigrants, VDARE has also accused "the Jews" of dominating the media w/the intent of allowing non-whites to immigrate to the US. In addition to VDARE, Roberts also writes for stellar publications like Townhall & NewsMaxx. I KNEW this guy was sketchy. People should be able to recognize code words like this.

Paul Roberts is an author who is/was a frequent contributor to vdare, an extremely bigoted and/or unreliable website. He seems to remain consistent here
" Washington is in thrall to Zionist paranoia ".

We don't want to provide him with any more publicity.

Thanks.

5. LOL, nice try. He's a former Wall Street Journal editor.

Roberts' columns are available in syndication. Anyone can run them. On no site is their appearance to be seen as endorsement of the publication.

He's a former member of the Reagan administration, a former editorialist at the WSJ, and has a very long résumé in Washington. Unlike most U.S. conservatives, he's a very clear-headed thinker and indeed one of the few of his brethren worth reading.

Guess where I read him: Counterpunch.com. Put that in your character assassination machine, you dilettante.

6. BWAHAHAHAHA!

He's a former Wall Street Journal editor. So, the fuck what?! Bush is president!

He works with the right-wing website. I am not at all surprised that the crap was re-printed in Counterpunch. Sometimes the far-right and far-left are hard to distinguish!
