I USED to listen to Buchanan, before he started taking stupid pills. He lost me a LONG time ago. He is just trying to worm himself back into the debate.

It is unbelievable that conservatives(?) even repeat this drivel.

That's how it works. They keep repeating the lies until they become common usage and the people who know better stop reputing them. It's aggravating.

Pat Buchanon is a puke - an over the edge puke

Sure he did. He supported Vietnam, Grenada, etc.

Basically, so far as I can tell, Pat's patriotism evaporated around 1990. It has a lot to do with a four letter word which begins with a "J" and ends with an "S."

I'm not saying that Pat Buchanan is a vicious and virulent anti-semite. You might well think that, but I couldn't possibly say such a thing.

Pat Buchanon is typical of what happens when a conservative hangs out with too many media types (liberal). They will keep their conservativism, but bash the conservatives in power whenever they can, just to curry favor with their new friends. They don't do it consciously, but they do it.

"the diversion of priceless assets from the fight against al-Qaida"

Bunk! The most powerful branch of al Qaida is right there in Iraq and we are killing them by the hundreds. I once voted for Pat in the primaries, but he has really gone downhill since then. Either than, or I am not as radical as I once was.

Pat wouldn't have fought Germany in the second WW. What else is new!

As with every Buchanan column, I lost count of the lies, distortions and half-truths by the fourth or fifth paragraph. Pitchfork Pat is just strengthening our enemies and giving the media more talking points to use against the President.

Yep, Pat is one of those vindictive Irish types that would not have shed a tear if England fell to the Nazis.

Saddam Hussein was answerable to prove that he had eliminated WMD. If he didn't have them, why did he not prove that he'd destroyed them?

Answer- because he sold them. This is far worse than a country sitting on WMD.

Let us also not forget who was voting to make sure Saddam Hussein would not be held accountable - China, France and Russia. All three requiring military sales to get in hard currency to support their economies.

And why in the world would Saddam Hussein have to pay off the French in the oil for food scandal when they would support him gladly for free?

The tratiors are anyone who, by word or deed, are obstructing victory.

That includes people who believe the war was a mistake, people who advocate an immediate pull-out, and generally people whose vicious criticism has made the war harder to wage.

Many of them may well be unwitting traitors, I will admit. But their actions are treasonable nonetheless.

This is a war for the survivial of our civilization! This is no minor engagement.

The enemy is attacking in France, in Spain, in England - and right here at home. Though it is unlikely that America will fall to the enemy advance, it is very likely that Europe and Israel may well do so.

And then what will be left of the West? The United States and Australia? Alone against the world. With no hope of a Reconquista which will one day return Paris, Madrid, and Rome (or whatever they are called by then) to the Western fold?

There's no room here for "dissent." There is no room for sympamthy for the enemy.

Either they are destroyed or we shall be. It is our choice to make. But I hope that you, and everyone else here, chooses wisely. For, if we do not, when I am an old man - and I, statistically have six or seven decades of life to look forward to, I and others of similar age shall be sitting somewhere amid a world ruled by non-Western peoples and wondering just why in the hell we didn't do something about it when we could.

You wrote, "Unless it's 10,000 Marines."

Or paratroopers. No sky too high, no blast too fast.

Gen. William Odom has called the Iraq War the greatest strategic blunder in the history of the United States. Final returns are not yet in, but he may not be far off.

What freaking nonsense. We’ve lost about 2,000 brave soldiers while defeating the fourth or fifth largest military in the world and freed 25 million people in the process. There were individual battles in WWII where we lost ten times that many.

In invading Iraq, we attacked and occupied a country of 25 million that had not attacked us, did not threaten us, did not want war with us…

The old coot’s going senile. They fired on our military planes on an almost daily basis and attempted to assassinate a former US president, among other attacks. And they openly sponsored international terrorism on a global scale.

Pat lost a relative at Auschitz. He fell out of a Guard Tower.

All his premises are lies.

Loved you until today, Pat. Now you can go to hell.

Are you sure of his genealogy? Patrick is an Irish name, but Buchanan is Scots.

Be careful before launching into the Irish. I'm one.

>>Liberals - and those alleged 'conservatives' who oppose this war - are a cancer on free people everywhere. That cancer is quickly metastasizing - spreading to and destroying previously health tissue, previously rational minds.<<
Made all the worse by a culture that's becoming more and more idiotic (i.e., rap music, baggy ass pants, etc.).
