I am not a fan of Patrick Buchanan, and it's not clear to me here just exactly what he's trying to say, but his column today is in the news.

Thought you might be interested:

"Said ex-President Herbert Hoover, Republican statesman of the day, “We have only one job to do now, and that is to defeat Japan.”

"But to friends, “the Chief” sent another message: “You and I know that this continuous putting pins in rattlesnakes finally got this country bit.”

"Today, 70 years after Pearl Harbor, a remarkable secret history, written from 1943 to 1963, has come to light.
It is Hoover’s explanation of what happened before, during and after the world war that may prove yet the death knell of the West."

Pat’s an Isolationist. He has always taken the view that FDR provoked Japan into attacking us. It’s a variation of “9/11 was our fault because we were in the Middle East” meme.

I can’t take him seriously anymore.
