Giuliani follows hard-liners' script (Neo-Con Godfather, Norman {bomb Iran} Podhoretz leads the way)
Source: Hearst Newspapers

By HELEN THOMAS
HEARST NEWSPAPERS

...The Republican presidential aspirant wants to widen the Mideast war by bombing Iran. The Iraqi debacle obviously has taught him nothing.

It's not enough that we destroyed Iraq and killed thousands of Iraqis. Now, the former New York City mayor wants the U.S. to expand President Bush's disastrous policies in the region -- and also to continue the war against Iraq.

He is being guided by a bunch of discredited conservative hawks who once advised Bush to attack Iraq in a "preventive war."

For a while they ran for cover but now they are back and are egging Bush on to bomb Iran's military sites. Norman Podhoretz -- the leader of the Giuliani team -- wants to bomb Iran "as soon as it is logistically possible."...

1. Helen Thomas is great. She sure is one of a very select few real
'journalists' we have left in this country.

2. Indeed
And she nailed this one on the head. Rudy is going headlong into his campaign with the annointing (and funding) of the NeoCons who installed our current administration.

Please checkout my link to Podhoretz in the op. It will become clear that he's Cheney's mentor.

4. That's what these Neo-Con traitors do
Edited on Fri Nov-02-07 12:18 AM by Indi Guy
edit for spelling

They're very skillful at propping up dolts who have neither the brain power nor the muscle to resist them. The recruited are flattered & funded all the way to to the top. Only problem is, once on top -- they have no choice but to do the puppet dance.

6. Podhoretz & his gang of traitors have been behind every foreign policy blunder
since Cheney/Bush43 was installed.

Collectively, these people are a "one trick pony" (in three parts):

Facilitate existing fear
Capitalize on the new level of fear
Destroy & plunder the roots & fruits of freedom, in the name of "security"

9. There is hope.
The Iraq war has turned many Mom's & Pop's against the dolts in power.

10. It's truly frightening to think someone like Ghouliani has a real
chance to be elected. He might actually be worse than King George . . . if that's possible. Keep the emigration papers handy.
