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.
