Buchanan's understanding of global as well as American politics is frighteningly naive. As he sits in his media perch he is allowed and is paid for, he squawks the sullen mantra of his own failed political forays into elected politics.
This remarkable President does not micro manage every detail of America's influence both here and abroad. Our troops are invested in long lasting alliances and treaties and apart from the War, our foreign troop levels have gradually gotten smaller since the end of the CW.
His biggest beef seems to lie with our involvement in the ME, neglecting to offer any other alternatives except maybe fighting Muslims right here on our shores. Reliance on oil? The Prez has called for the opening of oil fields in Alaska time and time again. Who thwarts him? The dems. And he completely avoids the subject of the rest of the world's oil dependence. Who does Pat think will fil the void if we retreat to our inner sactum? Hmmm.....The Martians?
I could go on about Pat, but his schtick is getting lamer all the time, in fact has gotten stale and sad. He needs to take a page from the playbook of the looney left and start camping out in front of Pelosi and Kennedy's houses instead of undermining a real conservative in the WH.
Good point. We can lead or we can be led by China. What'cha wanna do?
