The obsession of William Rivers Pitt

[Wetzelbill]

Here it is:

"26,000 liters of anthrax, 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin, 1,000,000 pounds of sarin and mustard and VX nerve agent, the 30,000 munitions to deliver this stuff"

Mentioned over and over and over in his Truthout columns -including his latest - and as he so often points out, has never been taken off of the WH website or found in the country of Exxonistan...oops, I mean Iraq.

I even have him recorded on tape repeating all of this in an interview I did with him last summer.

Obsession. Possibly to the point where Will may need to seek help.

But this is a good thing.

Meanwhile, how many mainstream pundits are writing about these on a regular basis?

::coyoteshowling::


That's what I thought. They are spineless and gutless as usual. Save, Krugman and Ivins anyway.

My mission in life, when I get back to my columnist job is to get obsessed like Will. Somebody needs to help the poor guy out.

[BOSSHOG]

1. I do believe

that Joe Conason also has a spine and a gut.

[waterman]

5. Let's not forget Greg Palast

Even though slighty distanced by a fairly large body of water.

[dennis4868]

12. I believe....

Palast moved back to the U.S

[salinen]

2. I believe there is a 12 step program

for people obsessed with the truth.

[salinen]

3. And Noam.

[Wetzelbill]

13. Props to Palast, Conason, Chomsky, Gore Vidal etc......

[Fridays Child]

6. Just get the recipe for the Kool-Aid that they serve to...

...Laura Bush for breakfast every morning.

[fjc]

7. Ditto that. Someone has to keep it in public view.

[hippiegranny]

23. yes, it's called the GOP

want to stop telling the truth? become a republican! results guaranteed.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. When will Will learn?

We'll find the weapons of mass destruction in Syria and Tehran. Oh, and Paris, and maybe Ottawa, just to be on the safe side. And questioning the President is against God's good law. Do you hate God, ya Commie disruptor?

[Solomon]

15. Nope. Haven't you heard? The wmds are

on Mars.

[Bandit]

8. For whom do you write a column ?

I'm interested as to who your audience might be.

[Wetzelbill]

11. used to write for the Arizona Daily Wildcat and am a political

contributor to Red Ink Magazine.

Largely college students and then the magazine is Native Americans.

Half-assed writing a book right now. Two books actually.

[Bandit]

18. I've never heard of "Red Ink Magazine" but it sounds like Republican

to me. They don't call them "Red Ink Republicans" for nothing. get obsessed

[Wetzelbill]

25. Red Ink is an American Indian publication

They actually had a good war section in this last issue. I expanded one of my columns into an article about PNAC for them. Not Repubs there that I know of!!

[KamaAina]

9. Has Will heard of the American Empire Project?

Here it is:

Right up his alley.

[xchrom]

10. mr. wrp

has an audience to boot.
it's not just an obsession with him -- some others out here in tv land are pretty obsessed with it as well.

[proud patriot]

14. Here's the most important webpage on the internet

[King_Crimson]

16. And on vocals...

I'll take Mike Malloy!

[tom_paine]

17. Go get 'em, Wetzelbill!

Much luck to your and Will Pitt both!

[Kazak]

19. Hey, at least we found the WMD, er, RPAs...

[Raven]

20. Will's mom speaking here so

know that I've checked my objectivism at the door. It is funny that you posted this because I've been thinking about Will lately and how driven he is. I obviously think about Will alot but the particular reason is because I was listening to Dick Cheney on NHPR this morning and he is still talking about WMD with such authority that it really scares me.

There isn't another person you would want to have in the lifeboat. This guy is relentless and I am glad he is on our side. He does not sleep, really, I know this. If he has something to do with respect to the mission he's on, he will not sleep until it's done. It is remarkable to me.

Here's the funny thing: I always knew that I would love my children (my child, since Will is my only one) but I never really thought about admiring them and looking up to them. I don't really know where he got his particular gifts, his political saavy from his dad, I think, his writing ability from his grandfather, I know. His common sense (when he uses it!) from me. But, anyway, I admire him and look up to him...from a bit of a distance...like he's not mine. I find this very strange but wonderful.

Sometimes this guy can be a real brat but if I was checking out lifeboats I know the one I would crawl onto.

Again, I couldn't resist posting here... not an objective view at all but my view.

[PopSixSquish]

21. Miss Raven - I Commend You

I do not always agree with your son, but I certainly would be in his lifeboat as well.

I'm glad he's on our side as well and I expect that one day he and all other true patriots (many of whom are on this site) will be vindicated.

[Raven]

22. Thanks Pop!

I don't always agree with him either but I've got a standing reservation in that lifeboat and, as I like to tell him, a secret room in my house for him when (not if) he needs it!

[Wetzelbill]

24. never knew you were Will's mom...learn something new everyday

nicely said and well put.

I actually agree with Will about 99 percent of the time.

[salinen]

26. Oh wow! The mother of a celebrity

I'll give you $50 bucks for a lock of his hair.

[Raven]

27. I'd give HIM 50$ if he'd

just shovel my goddamned stairs...little sh*t. He seems to have other things to do.

[salinen]

28. I wonder if Gandi's Mom

made him shovel the stairs. Oh, wait, probably no snow in India.

[loudnclear]

29. These are the things the Dem candidates should be pointing out

There is so much stuff out there to use against Bush..it's just amazing how our candidates overlook so much. No one comes up with some different zingers...they address the same thing (not that the traditional issues are not important but gads! Can't they hit on some nerve buttons?). For example, increases in crime. Increases in gasoline, food, and housing, and make up taxes for Bush's huge tax cuts to benefit the wealthy...such as increase tolls, increased state user fees, and real cuts in the safety net programs for the elderly that the states run. AND HOW ABOUT THAT TRAFFIC! What is wrong with this country not to be supporting the development of a rapid rail network throughout the contiguous states? Just think how many jobs that would create? How about what is happening to our legal system because of the Patriot Act? Our candidates have to begin to be more visonary.

[Paragon]

30. *whew*

What a relief - I was afraid this thread was going to describe some kind of wet dream about John Kerry.
