Beware of ‘Taters and Couch Bloggers like Bill Roggio
This couch-tater was Mr. Full-Steam-Ahead on Iraq and Afghanistan talking points back when it mattered most. Rabid defender of anything Bush-Rumsfeld.
Bill Roggio earned the epithet “‘Tater-boy,” and “The Big ‘Tater.’
Mr. Potato Head rarely steps out in the United States. And for his sycophancy, ‘Tater-boy was invited to the White House to meet President Bush — while denying the growing civil war in Iraq. This was a big and important matter at the time. At least tens of thousands of Iraqis and coalition died as a result of the civil war that ‘Tater denied until the fire was undeniable and blasting to the skies.
Likewise, in the earlier days of Afghanistan — when it mattered most — ‘Tater-boy has proven consistently wrong in long-term prognosis. Tater-boy is just wrong, but brings a giant eraser to the test.
How would a couch blogger know? He practically never steps foot out of America. Ask Tater-boy yourself. Ask him how much time he spent in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Tater’s response will be something like this:
1) Block you
2) Attack you
3) Obfuscation/deflection
He will not simply answer the question. Because the answer to the question will reveal that he’s just another ‘Tater.
‘Tater is a puppet who arrived at his perch not through sheer quality, but by adoption and packaging. ‘Tater’s just a face. A facade.
Ask him simply: How much time did you spend in Afghanistan. Experience does matter.
