He has been running around claiming that the WTC buildings had to be brought down by explosives because the planes couldn't have done it. He has become a certified nut and descredited by his off the wall statements. I guess he has spent too much time writing and reading stuff at Antiwar.com I suspose that's why we don't vote Assistant Secretarys Of The Treasury in as Presidents. He should stick to counting money and leave the foreign policy to the experts. > I took this from another board . for full article >access address . > >"Reagan Republican calls Bush gang "Brownshirts" > >href="http://www.creators.com/opinion/paul-craig-robert >s.html">http://www.creators.com/opinion/paul-craig-robe >rts.html > >Paul Craig Roberts is a republican and former >Assistant Secretary Of The Treasury under Ronald >Reagan.
