[lbo-talk] Bartley on the Straussians

Bartley concludes:

********** Clearly, the administration's critics are anxious to seize any straw to discredit its success in Iraq, to leap to the worst possible construction of events. It was a "quagmire" when troops were slowed by a sand storm, now it's "deception" because chemical weapons dumps haven't been found. The impulse is so strong that Leo Strauss gets exhumed, words are twisted from their meaning, and the Times and New Yorker make common cause with Lyndon LaRouche. **********

This is the funniest, and the saddest, paragraph I've read so far today.

Future historians, when they review the inadvertantly American assisted birth of the Shiite Empire in Iraq, will use this statement as an example of the lovely, technicolor dream world of relentless success US elites inhabited.

How fortunate for Mr. Bartley that LaRouche has turned his odd attention to the Straussian thing.

Now, he can play a game of rotating mirrors in which anyone who raises questions, including publications that have, mostly, been cooperating quite nicely with BushCo, can be called as misguided as we all know LaRouche to be.
