Our Troops Are Dying for Sycophants by Paul Craig Roberts

[Jade Fox]

Another excellent article from conservative Roberts, who dares to speak out
against Bush and the Neocons.

In her confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, "Condi" Rice personified the Bush administration’s
delusion-based "war against terror." Whenever a senator’s question
penetrated to the harsh reality, Condi waffled and evaded, choosing
to protect at the expense of her reputation the neocon delusion that
invading Iraq was the "right thing to do." Exasperated, Senator
Barbara Boxer objected to Condi’s "continuing assault on reality."

Condi Rice’s outstanding qualification for Secretary of State in the
Bush administration is that she is the complete sycophant. She fits right
in. Can you name anyone in the Bush administration who is not a
sycophant?

Citing sources, the Financial Times reports that when queried by
President Bush for his views on the progress of the war, Secretary of
State Colin Powell replied, "We’re losing." Bush responded to his
candid Secretary of State not by a sking Powell to tell him about it but
by asking Powell to leave.

Can you believe this administration’s insanity? Bush intends to rise
from the ashes of defeat in Iraq by invading Iran, a country three times
the size in population and geography? Does it remind you of Adolf
Hitler who, unable to invade tiny England, marches his army off into
Russia?

1. Yet another conservative voice decrying Bush's Iraq policy

How long is that list now? George Will, Patrick Buchanan, William F. Buckley...

5. They objected to his policy, from the comfort of their easy-chairs, ...

... and then encouraged Americans to vote for him.

2. Amazing

I'm both more worried than ever about our president while gratified to see that rational thought can still be expressed by some on "the other side".

I don't think any amount of arguing from the left will be enough to get the media to start doing its job regarding Bushco.

But if combined with the input from those with ethics on the right we have a chance of seeing the snowball effect starting.
