A State Of Constant War



Patrick Buchanan's The American Conservative has a very good article on Giuliani written by Michael Dresch, titled "Declaring Forever War" and looking at Giuliani's foreign policy advisors. http://www.amconmag.com/2008/2008_01_14/cover.html

The article starts with Norman Podhoretz who is by many definitions "certifiable" and continues on to our friend, Daniel Pipes:

 "Daniel Pipes is the crazy uncle of the Giuliani campaign. In some places he is listed as a senior advisor, but the chair of the senior advisory team went to great lengths to minimize his influence. This is not surprising because even among this group, Pipes stands out as an extremist."

This is the Daniel Pipes who considers the existence of a single Palestinian within the boundaries of Israel to be one Palestinian too many, necessitating a "final solution" of some sort of ethnic cleansing, possibly with "extreme prejudice". NeoCons all. No. These people think mere NeoCons are too timid. This is Giuliani as Clockwork Orange in the White House.
