From yesterday's Wall Street Journal:
The Case for Bombing Iran: I hope and pray that President Bush will do it.
Dear fucking God.
I don't even need to crack any jokes. This long essay by an old wingnut speaks for itself.
Well, okay, a little sample for you:
Much of the world has greeted Ahmadinejad's promise to wipe Israel off the map with something close to insouciance. In fact, it could almost be said of the Europeans that they have been more upset by Ahmadinejad's denial that a Holocaust took place 60 years ago than by his determination to set off one of his own as soon as he acquires the means to do so. In some of European countries, Holocaust denial is a crime, and the European Union only recently endorsed that position. Yet for all their retrospective remorse over the wholesale slaughter of Jews back then, the Europeans seem no readier to lift a finger to prevent a second Holocaust than they were the first time around.
Not so George W. Bush, a man who knows evil when he sees it and who has demonstrated an unfailingly courageous willingness to endure vilification and contumely in setting his face against it. It now remains to be seen whether this president, battered more mercilessly and with less justification than any other in living memory, and weakened politically by the enemies of his policy in the Middle East in general and Iraq in particular, will find it possible to take the only action that can stop Iran from following through on its evil intentions both toward us and toward Israel. As an American and as a Jew, I pray with all my heart that he will.
Please, just shut up.
He's been calling the War on Terror "World War IV" for five years now, and his latest book is being released on Tuesday, September 11th. He's not an intellectual. He's a shameless wingut.
[Shit, 9/11 is on a god-damn Tuesday this year. Great. The exact same day of the week it was back in 2001. The second Tuesday after Labor Day. The day the terrorists knew everyone would be back at work. This is going to suck.]
It amazes me that Podhoretz are still paid to write and speak opinions that have been either bat shit crazy, or proven to be incorrect by facts.
I hate to sound like Michelle Malkin, but Just Shut Up.
