Prominent Conservative Leader says Government in Hands of Psychopaths
Paul Craig Roberts said that the US government is in the hands of dangerous psychopaths who are a disgrace to the human race and who should be arrested as war criminals and turned over the the Hague.
Former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal and former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury Dr. Paul Craig Roberts expressed his dire warning that the US government has fallen into the hands of Neo-Con psychopaths.
Roberts went further than he has ever gone before in stating that the Neo-Cons were worse than Hitler and Stalin because they publicly embrace torture and pre-emptive war, something that past despots at least tried to hide.
Dr. Roberts also correctly states that Bush\Cheney are more evil than Hitler\Stalin and that the followers of the NEO-CONS have a mentality that is "like that of the brown shirts that followed Hitler" .
Every American who voted Republican shares responsibility for the great evil America has brought to the Middle East.
The evil that America brought to Iraq transcends the tens or hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians who have been killed and maimed in the conflict. The evil goes beyond the destruction of ancient historical artifacts and the civilian infrastructure of a secular state and the decimation of the lives, careers, and families of millions of Iraqis.
The violence and killing that Bush brought to Iraq has spread antagonism between Sunni and Shiite throughout the Middle East with potentially draconian consequences. Bush’s war has turned Muslim hearts and minds against America and made terrorism an acceptable means to resist American hegemony. With his mindless war, Bush has created more terrorism than the world has ever seen.
The reasons given for the American invasion of Iraq have been exposed as lies, revealing America as either a country of fools and idiots or of war criminals. Worldwide polls show that America is no longer regarded as a guiding light but is tied with Israel as the second greatest threat to world stability Iran was rated as the #1 threat to the world.
This guy actually despises what Bush/Cheney has done to this nation as much or maybe even more so than those of us on the left of the political spectrum.
Picture of Dr. Paul Craig Roberts and believe me he is as pissed off as he looks. The Neo-Cons now try to portray Roberts as some senile old kook but in reality he is 7 years younger than Dick Cheney who is 66. I would also like to know why they were consulting Dr. Roberts on economic policy in both 2001 and 2002 if he were some brainless dude. The fact is that he only conveniently became a "senile old fart" once he spoke out against their war.
As the Senate bill to block torture is blocked by Bush and Cheney, the promotion of torture in official circles continues.
Roberts outlined his conviction that the torture program was not set up to gain any kind of real information from accused detainees because torture is renowned for extracting useless and false information. The real reason for the torture is to make the terrorists implicate themselves and thus create the perception of a real terrorist threat.
Roberts said that the CIA was aware that the vast majority of detainees are not terrorists, proven by the fact that Pakistani gangsters admitted to rounding up innocent people in street sweeps and selling them to the US government as terrorists for anything up to $25,000. These people are now at Guantanamo Bay.
Roberts pointed out that only nine so-called terrorists have been brought to trial and none have been convicted.* (see David Hicks below) Why do individuals have to be held for five years without trial if there is proof that they can be convicted with? Army interrogators have gone public with their frustrations that these people are obviously not terrorists but they are still ordered to keep them. Images of mass ranks of terrorists are pure lies on the part of the insane Neo-Cons.
Roberts said that America is the most hated nation on earth by design and that the military is completely out of control. The barbarism in Iraq practiced by the US occupational government will live in infamy when it is historically judged by hindsight.
I don't care that Paul Craig Roberts is a Paleoconservative who worked as one of Reagans main financial henchmen for two terms as long as he is now calling for Bush and Cheney's heads. I obviously wasn't a big fan of Reagan or his economic policies. In fact Dr. Roberts was the "Father of Reaganomics" which was the economic plan of the Reagan White House. The reason I feel this way about Paul Craig Roberts and others of his ilk is because the war in Iraq is evil. We also need as many allies as we can get to help end this disasterous war. Dr. Roberts has now left the Republican party and hopefully many more like minded GOP members will follow him (Democratic Senator Jim Webb another former Republican for example also served under Reagan as the United States Secretary of the Navy).

While I don't agree with Dr. Paul Craig Roberts pro big business and small government economic policies I realize that we need anti-war conservatives like him to help expose the dreaded NEO-CONS for what they truly are and that my friends is American Nazi's. As Winston Churchill once famously put it "I'd march into hell and ally with the devil himself to defeat Hitler." That's exactly my sentiments towards the current Bush/Cheney Neo-Con administration. The enemy of my enemy is my friend at least so temporarily. I also agree with Dr. Roberts on sending Bush/Cheney to the Hague Court to have these Neo-Con Bastards tried as War Criminals and then as traitors after they have been impeached for getting us into this Iraqi mess.

*Update: David Hicks the so called Australian Taliban has since been convicted after this article was written. He took a plea bargain which allowed him to return to Australia he is now free at home. The way I see it he had a choice of being held indefinitely without a trial or taking the deal to go back home to live with his family in freedom since he had already been in Guantanamo for 5 years they gave him an offer that he couldn't refuse.

Bush has now graduated from playing with toy soldiers.
A picture says a thousand words.
The Nazi's also claimed that they were just following orders.
Let's get the troops home now before these Neo-Con Bastards attack Iran.
