“If only our military would do for us what the military in Egypt has done for that country.”
I’ll vote for that!
And your unassailable information that would prove that what you say is true?
PROVE IT!
How about this one: “The apartheid Israeli regime in Palestine is more legitimate”?
Well, the Israeli gov't in the ME is certainly more legitimate than Obama.
Obama hasn't even provided us evidence that he is a U.S. citizen (i.e. an American citizen could not visit Pock-ee-stahn when Obama made his tour).
Does that count?
This isn’t going to stop until people start dying.
You asked for one thing in the article that isn’t true. I don’t believe that Israel is an apartheid regime. If you do, just say so.
There was no ban on American citizens visiting Pakistan in ‘81.
That said, let me go back to my research about Americans visiting Pock-ee-stahn. As I recall, Obama went there when Americans were prohibited from doing so.
BTW, are you an Obama supporter...just curious...no insult intended.
Just wondering why you are defending the SOB?
I’m not defending Obama but I do think Paul Craig Roberts is a nut job.
You don’t need to do a lot of research about the the supposed ban. It’s been discussed and debunked a thousand times right here on FR.
Good place to start is here with post 12 as the answer you’re looking for.

A dictatorship, despite its ideology, is still a dictatorship.
Small chance of that; starting with Clinton, the military has been feminized and the warriors purged.
bkmk
It’s obvious as the nose on your face if some moron i.e. Roberts says an Islamic dictatorship/society where people are murdered at whim, and/or girls are killed by religious zealots for going to school under orders of the head Muslim is the same as the United States, the person is an unhinged lunatic. Not even the Obama admin is at the same level of depravity as Muslim dictatorships. People who agree with the unhinged lunatic Roberts concerning that equivalence are themselves unhinged lunatics.
Why don't we arrange a bet. I'll bet you the Taliban murders some innocent girls for attending school or murders doctors who help poor villagers before you or I get sent to a FEMA camp. We'll bet everything we own, and we'll sign a contract about what happens first. Agreed?
I'd like also to bring to your attention an observation made by Adm. James Stockdale on his 7 1/2 years checked-in at the Hanoi Hilton:
This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be."
Roberts is not claiming equivalency, he is claiming legitimacy:
“The regime ruling in Washington today lacks constitutional and legal legitimacy.”
That is a clear distinction.
I have no intention of going to a FEMA camp. :-)
LOL!
Yes, and how did the last Bush administration lack constitutional legitimacy?
