Andrew Apostolou! A Young PNACER Emerges...Check out his hate blog.

I just listened to this obnoxious guy on CNN's "Center for American Progress Debate" over "what do we do with Iraq mess," and this NEW STAR who speaks like Tony Blair with as much arrogance was there joking and preening about what is really the PNAC policy. He must be an up and coming star. We need to watch out for him. His his Bio...

Those of you who like blogs check his out in the link below where he trashes Susan Sontag, Michael Moore, Hans Blix and the Iraqi prisoners who were tortured.

Before commenting upon Susan Sontag's latest effluence in The New York Times magazine, please find my comment on this silly person in March 2004 in a discussion of Greek anti-Semitism and media coverage of September 11:


Put otherwise, when terrorists attack the US, this is regrettable, but the US "had it coming." When the US strikes back at the terrorists, that is "aggression." (It's the same with intellectuals: when we criticise Susan Sontag, that is censorship. When she tells the rest of us we are fools, that is freedom of speech).

A modest proposal
Instead of inflicting Millwall fans on the beautiful, historic cities of Europe next season in the UEFA Cup, why not send them to meet the hooligans of Fallujah?

Vile, repulsive pictures of prisoner abuse. The footage is sickening and gets worse, so beware. This footage was on al-Arabiyya, the UAE based rival to al-Jazeera. You can be sure that these pictures will not be endlessly replayed on CNN. We await Susan Sontag's profound analysis with baited breath.

The Center for American Progress event is on C-Span on this page but it will move.

he thinks his UK spelling makes him appear more intelligent... :)

As for his misuse of "baited", I can offer no excuse.

Another Phony Bushevik "Expert".

4. Remember his name, he's Big Time to be invited on that Panel. He was
Edited on Fri May-28-04 12:26 PM by KoKo01
there with Gayle Smith (Center for American Progress and former State Department official probably under Clinton), Lawrence Korb (CAP) and Ted Galen Carpenter, the Head of the Cato Institute, on that Panel.

He was there as the new face of PNAC, I believe. It was a really good discussion with Cato Head wanting to get out of Iraq NOW! Gayle Smith was fantastic. Lawrence Korb was the Moderator. Apostolou was such an arrogant ass I had to Google him. What I found is that he really is an "arrogant ass."
