#1 "it was a way for Iraq hawks to gloss over the awkward transition from pursuing Osama bin Laden, who attacked America, to Saddam Hussein, who didnt."

-obviously Krugman's an idiot. Hussein's violation of HR 687 gave us the right to depose him. Not doing so would've been stupid - case closed. I could care less about the WMD argument. 17 violations of the ceasefire agreement over a 12 yr period easily equates regime change imho. Wake up America.

#2 Poor Professor Krugman. How it must hurt his soul to know that his fellow academics scorn him so. Even the balm of New York Times approbation (and payment!) is not enough to soothe (with an e, for Red Dawg) such red-hot piercing pain.

#3 Why read him or listen to him? He only sings to the choir and off-key at that. I refuse to read him, Dowd, Rich, Herbert, hell even Bill Safire has gone Stockholm through his employment. Krugman is another of the left-wing economics professors who saw that it was easier to be an 8 year Bush basher than teach at Princeton or consult for Enron. In fact, in as this 2002-2003 research shows, he is the biggest sufferer of BDS in the world (even more than our buddy Iamanutjob). My gut feeling is he is out of work Jan.21st 2009.

#5 "In Americas darkest hour, Franklin Delano Roosevelt urged the nation not to succumb to nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror. But that was then.

[...]

But neither of these threats frightens me as much as fear itself the unreasoning fear that has taken over one of Americas two great political parties."

If Krugman had filled the [...] with a devastating indictment of the liberals' incessant, breathless fear-mongering over "global warming", with all the "Planet in Peril" bullshit, this could have been a good article.

Instead, we get this lame jackass's pathetic attempt to deny a blatantly obvious and immediate menace.

Lame, sick and stupid.

The donks have been engaging in bait and switch and Ponzi scheme politics for sometime now--promising one thing and giving another. Distracting voters from the real issues by creating bogus issues.

#7 Jack, the salmon fisker is Steve White. Were it Delphi, the comments would have been in darker-than-post-it-note yellow. I'm trying to be good -- Dr. Steve is clearly in a mood. ;-)

#9 "Hussein's violation of HR 687 gave us the right to depose him."

Thanks for pointing this out. Even Krugman's hero Bill Clinton has said this on several occasions.

Krugman is a post-modernist, Christian-hating, cultural Marxist boomer ideologue. His opinions are not informed by the truth but rather by an intellectually lazy need to perpetuate the comfortable demons of his youth and the all-important n-a-a-a-a-rative of his middle age and dotage.

Every person - every single one - who "thinks" as he does is an anti-intellectual and a threat to Western civilization.
