I don’t know how the book actually reads, but this article about John Hostettler’s new book makes it sound a little like he’s alleging a conspiracy between the Trilateral Commission and followers of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion that led us to war in Iraq.
Hostettler, who despite his other faults is to be credited for voting against war in Iraq, has a book out that apparently cites revenge and securing Israel as the driving forces toward war in Iraq – specifically revenge for the assassination attempt on George H.W. Bush in 1993 combined with highly placed Jews in the Pentagon.
I don’t claim to know the role played by pro-Israeli partisans in the run up to war, but when a fervent Christian like Hostettler starts making noises like he’s blaming Jews for a national catastrophe, it makes me a little nervous.
Sounds like he’s watched “Borat” one too many times. Don’t forget they’re shift changers, too;-) Oh yeah, and you can tell them by the horns on their heads!
I’m a Christian leader and I’m fully aware of the REAL reason we’re in Iraq. And that real reason will be out of office no later than mid-January.
Given that JH was elected to public office without having actually read the Constitution (yes, I do know this for a fact, I got it from his campaign manager) I’m highly skeptical of his literary skills.
Alas, this book will be read, taken as gospel, and believed by far too many folks.
I have long credited John Hostettler with saving Julia Carson in 2002 for her anti-war vote during a hotly contested election. Her opponent didnt hammer her mercilessly for it although he described himself as a “Bushbaby”. If the Republicans had run TV commercials against Democrat Julia for her antiwar vote, it would have exposed that GOP Hostettler had done the same in the adjacent Congressional District.
She fully expected her antiwar vote to cost her the election but Hostettler probably enabled her to get re-elected…
