What Does British MP George Galloway have with David Duke? Sure, Galloway may like white sheets too, but both have spoken in Damascus in support of Syrian leader Bashar Assad.

What is the former Klansman’s take on the war in Iraq? Just like Assad and Galloway, he claims there’s a Jewish conspiracy.

Interviewer: “How do you read the ongoing U.S.-led escalation against Syria within the context of re-mapping the Middle East?”

David Duke: “Well, you must understand that the chief architects of the war were Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearl, Daniel Feith, Mr. Wurmser, Elliot Abrams, in the United States. They were the architects of this war. Mr. Pearl, as well as Mr. Wurmser and Feith, wrote a paper called ‘A Clean Break: Securing the Realm,’ a paper for Israel, for Benjamin Netanyahu. That paper said that the way to Damascus was through Baghdad. I believe that this is part of the ongoing Zionist effort, in their control of American foreign policy, to dominate the entire Middle East, and I believe, dominate the world. I think America is occupied in many ways the way the Golan Heights is occupied, the way the West Bank of Palestine is occupied.”

Interviewer: “Dr. Duke, what impact has the worsening situation of the occupying forces in Iraq and the daily shipment of body-bags of U.S. and allied soldiers to the U.S.A. and elsewhere, on Bush’s ability to plunge into another quagmire?”

Duke: “This war is a disaster for the United States, and I think that this has to put pause in some of the Zionist neo-cons about going into a new war. But the one wild card is that these neo-cons are crazy. They are insane people. They are Jewish fanatics, extremists, they are not normal people.”

In Duke’s world, chasing around African Americans in sheets is perfectly sane and rational so we should take his comments with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, Duke does make many of the same arguments that opponents of the war have made, including the anti-war’s hero, Cindy Sheehan. Speaking of the “Peace Mother,” Duke was in Crawford this past August with Rev. Al Sharpton and Sheehan to protest against the war. Does this not strike anyone else as very odd that anti-war advocates have embraced David Duke, a man with as checkered a pass as a wicker rug?

Speaking of Sheehan, she has fired back at the photos of her book signging where no one was there except three cameramen.
