Maybe they're getting worried about all those suitcase nuclear bombs of theirs that've disappeared. If one goes off somewhere in America, they--whoever wrote the article, and whomever it was aimed at--want to prep the populace, make USA seem as though it was deserved in some way...just a thought...hard to explain the mindset except as some sort of propaganda "prep". Or maybe it's just the leftover communists infiltrating the Moscow Times again, ready to bring down another huge disaster on the world in return for a refrigerator and an annual week or two at the Black Sea on the government dime.

If it had come from pravda.ru i would pay it more attention, but never heard of it.

oh yeh russia?
what about that little "deal" you guys made with germany over poland back in the day?

Yawn. Now we know where Raines will find his next job.

If it had come from pravda.ru i would pay it more attention, but never heard of it.

Um... I hate to break it to you, but pravda.ru is NOT the Pravda newspaper website. Pravda (the newspaper) went under in 1996. Pravda.ru is closer to the Weekly World News than an actual, respectable news source. (Today's front page includes articles about Bermuda Triangle UFOs and a "rat civilization" on earth. No joke.) So please don't "pay it more attention."

Hmmm, does PasstheGass/Anthony/Don write for the Moscow times? Turnip?

How many civilians have the Russians murdered in Chechnya again?

sounds more like an article you'd read from Radio Islam

While perhaps not executed terribly well, Chechneya is a legitimate war on Russia's part. The problem is, and has always been, foreign agitators of the islamofascist persuasion. That was the situation before it was fashionable to blame Islamists for everything, and it is still the case. Any civilians killed are valid collateral damage, and while regrettable, indeed lamentable, not murder.

I see Chris Floyd strikes again. Chris is one of the most wacked out writters I have ever read. He writes for both the Moscow Times and the St. Petersburg times. You should chekc out some of his other stories at www.themoscowtimes.com. I think they keep him on for the entertainment value. I do not know anyone who takes him seriously. I think he is just in love with his own voice.
Matt

the real problem with this article is the truth it contains. Don't know about the Bush ancestory/nazi thing, but the current info reported about the current WMD/Iraqi war justification is very disturbing.

Many Americans got rich selling weapons to Europe during WWII. Also many Americans sided with Hitler (Henry Ford for one) so the whole story does sound like it could possibly be true. During that time period American religous leaders talked about Jews like they now talk about gays & abortion. People with money usually have some dirty laundry they are hiding.

OK, I finally read this and it sounds more like anthony than don, but no I dont think he is communist.

Actually, the point of this op ed is from that smug Eurotrash thing. I agree that those things might have happened with the Bush, but more like this fit his story, so he made up the quotes.

I bet his granma was behind Nazi lines! Otherwise why would the article he was paid for contain his fascination with all things Nazi? The official's for the Roosevelt Government were getting ready to do lend lease? Am I supposed to fill in the blanks here?

How the hell should I know?

This sounds more like Pravda back in the pre 1980s era. Must be the same "journalists" with different employers. If they were here in the U.S., they could work for the Star or the Enquirer.

is this writer an American national?

Ah, found another article by Chris Floyd about Rummy sponsoring terrorist attacks. No doubt about it, the guy would make a great significant other for Turnip.

Hey, Sophia, you are starting to convince me. But before I can spread the word, could you give me some details? What Americans "got rich selling weapons to Europe" during WWII, was Henry Ford "for" Hitler after 1940 or so? I know he was an anti-Semite before the war, but wasn't he reviled for that? What American religious leaders were anti-Semite? But again, do you mean that permanent lunatic fringe that is always with us? Your post is confusing, as if you are saying that all Americans were anti-Semite plutocratic Nazi-backers during WWII. Did you forget the American armed forces fought a war against Hitler, and helped free all his slaves? Why'd we do that, I wonder, if we were on his side, as you say? Help me out with some more details on this stunning revelation you've made here, please.

The Straight Dope dealt with this pretty thoroughly: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030214.html

Thanks, Mixie, that was a good read (and a good site). It makes the point that we are all connected by commerce to everything else--usually only a few degrees of separation, unless you never use any products of any sort--and if you link things enough, we all supported the Nazis, or all least all who were born before spring of 1945, and then those born later have parents or grandparents who somehow helped the Nazis. Even if you just swallowed a Bayer aspirin.

If Saddam destroyed all his weapons, all he had to do was invite UN inspectors and the world media in to examine his records.

South Africa disarmed years ago, and went to great pains to document their disarmament. But what did Iraq do? Threaten, intimidate and harrass inspectors, threw them out of the country on more than one occasion, and only cooperated (even then only marginally) under threat of force.

Not to mention the 14 months liberals insisted on giving Saddam to get his weapons and such hidden or shipped to friendly countries.

VODKA AT ITS BEST......get your crayons,sit down,shut-up,and color!!!!

Leftists carry around such a one-dimensional, cardboard cutout view of the wealthy. In the leftist catechism, people of means are automatons who do nothing but scheme for ever more riches with every waking breath. The rich crave money like a vampire craves blood, or some such rubbish. And, if some innuendo can be proffered that establishes a link, however tenuous, with commerce of any kind then, the case is proven beyond argument that those involved were scheming to defraud widows and orphans and feast on their organs.

Such demon haunted minds. It must be an exhausting and terrifying existence.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Michael Moore making a documenatry on the Bush family, and their links with terrorism? I wouldn't be surprised if this stuff turned up in their documentary too.

While I support Bush, I think it is important to remember that people with money normally get it through treading on toes. If the Bush family really did do deals with the Nazis, then the public has a right to know about it. Parituclarly the US public who get to vote for them.
