CANADA IN PENTAGON'S CROSS HAIRS! Jonah Goldberg Breaks Astounding News

(Lords of Loud 4/16) Writing about other columnists reminds me of when O'Reilly brings on right-wing talkers or "Foxperts" (Stephanie Miller Show's Jim Ward euphemism). It's a bit like self-gratification - without the gratification. But Jonah Goldberg is an exception, especially when he makes news. And that's exactly what he did on Sunday's CNN's Reliable Sources, on a panel with the unfreaking credible, John Aravosis of Americablog.com - someone we need to see more of, at least on HBO's "Real Time." Listening (reading) Bill?

In attempting to provide trivial business as usual cover, Lucianne's son, looking more and more like mom, said that the U.S. has developed plans to attack Canada. Amazingly, it was not meant as a joke, as he said he reiterated that he "knew they have plans." That host Howard Kurtz let that one fly by without an intercepting followup deserves a followup itself.

If we don't attack soon, DeBeers will beat us to the punch and all the spoils of war! **




**:sarcasm: ... or is it?

I'm here to warn y'all. They're sneaky, they're cunning, they're determined to implement their crazy ideas like Universal Health Care and poutine and medical marijuana. My fellow Americans, watch that northern border!

the better !

and another time at the Montreal Airport - thought I was going to have a heart attack on the spot.

I hear they got that tolerance up there. UnAmerican, if you ask me.

Why did that flaccid twit of a creature say that?

Was it REALLY to mitigate the fact that they are burnishing up the Iran scenarios? To suggest that, well, we have contingency plans for every country-you know, just in case they end up with a crazyass person at the helm??? Like anyone with half a brain could equate the two?

Or was it to toss a bone to the right, who get such a giggling kick out of that foolish "Blame Canada" song?

Nitwit, jus' like his mama.

Among the recommended courses of action:

"A expedition against Halifax and the Montreal-Quebec area"

Air operations on "as large a scale as practicable," and

"All necessary preparations for the use of chemical warfare from the outbreak of war."

and though they're on hold for the moment, Canadians had best not be too complacent.

Google "North American Water and Power Alliance" (NAWAPA).

The RW Frothers HATE the fact that Bush got caught eyeballing plans for an attack on Iran. "But we have plans to attack every country", is the RW talking point, "doesn't mean we will."

Maybe at one time I would believe that, now I want to see PROOF...we better have plans to attack everyone! If we left a country out or just focused in on certain ones...do we have plans to attack the UK? How bout China?

IMO, Lucianne's son was to stupid to make 'the point' and ended up looking like the RW insano he is.

as they do right next door to this wacko fascist junta.

Crazy Bill Buckley's rag proposed that America attack Canada and blame it on Saddam....

"In 2002, the conservative magazine National Review published an essay called "Bomb Canada: The Case for War." The author, Jonah Goldberg, suggested that the United States "launch a quick raid into Canada" and blow something up -- "perhaps an empty hockey stadium." That would cause Canada to stop wasting its money on universal health insurance and instead fund a military worthy of the name, so that "Canada's neurotic anti-Americanism would be transformed into manly resolve.""

BLAME CANADA...

Let's just look at his mother, and see if that has any clues-

From Jonah's own mouth comes this-

"My mother was the one who advised Linda Tripp to record her conversations with Monica Lewinsky and to save the dress..."

that Bush and his oil sucking pals would be drooling at the sheer prospect of it all.

"Estimates of Canada’s oil reserves jumped from 4.9 billion barrels to 180 billion this year, making the country the second-largest oil reserve in the world, according to an annual survey conducted by the Oil and Gas Journal. The change catapults Canada ahead of Iraq in terms of reserve size, and decreases OPEC’s share of the world’s oil reserves by more than 10 percent."

And got our asses kicked both times. I'd prefer we try to conquer someplace we have a better track record against... like Germany!
(:sarcasm:)

in the 1960's and 1970's when the extremist faction in (or broken away from?) Parti Quebecois was talking armed secession from Canada there were joint US-Canadian exercises along the Quebec border, and there were Canadians training at Ft Drum.

Used to go into Watertown NY, Gouverneur NY, and Potsdam NY to party.

By the late 1970's that was over.
