Wacko "Rightwingers" Beamed From Pluto
Paul Craig Roberts and the Certifiable Right
By Ben Johnson
FrontPageMagazine

Quick – what columnist alleged in an article Thursday that President “Bush intends to attack Iran and that he will use every means to bring war about?” That Bush has used “bribery and coercion” to block “every effort to bring the dispute to a peaceful end”? That “in order to gain a pretext for attacking Iran,” he and a “’black opts’ [sic.] group will orchestrate [an] attack” on U.S. soil?

One would never expect to hear the author is “chairman of the Institute for Political Economy and Research Fellow at the Independent Institute, a former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, former contributing editor for National Review, and a former assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury” under Ronald Reagan. That progressively unhinged man is nationally syndicated columnist Paul Craig Roberts...
Roberts was a high profile, heavy hitter in the Reagan administration. As was Pat Buchanan a major Nixon speechwriter and spokesman. What happened? When their belief in the globalist aspect of the Neo-Con ideology collapsed, adoption of a critical conservative-nationalist position did not satisfy their piety lust, and they chose to run with the wild-eyed left. Buchanan has resorted to promoting Justin Raimondo's mean-world spews, and Roberts is predicting a Bush scheme (Plan 9, I assume) to explode a nuke off the Atlantic coast, as a pretext for stomping Iran. Reality dictates: Ha. Ha. Ha.
