Bombs away! LOL

[Names Ash Housewares]

Theres a nasty dirty job that needs to be done, and it needs to be finished. There is no delight in war, but to not seek victory is to assure more war.

[Slings and Arrows]

I don't know what a Jew ever did to Pat Buchanan, but I hope it hurt a LOT.

[MNJohnnie]

Hey Paddy, forget trying to sound like you have the slightest clue. Your column last week showed everyone just what a rabid lunatic with NO clue about International Relations or how the US can protect its National Security.

So Paddy have you registered as an agent of the Syrian Government? How you do explain your habit of being a propagandist for the Terrorists?

Way past time for you retired Paddy. Each new column merely shows all of us how utterly senile and stupid you have become

[saganite]

Buchanan is stuck on stupid. This article is wrong on so many levels it's not even worth refuting point by point.

[MNJohnnie]

Interesting how the leading mouthpiece for Appeasement and Isolationism in America starts this column by quoting Chamberlain. Paddy, he should be your personal idol since you are busy advocating the US and Israel adopt Chamberlain's dogma.

[Asclepius]

Syria emerges as the winner? Only in Buchanan's addled brain. Refugees are pouring into Syria. And Lebanon's wrecked infrastructure and economy means all those transfer payments to Syria from Syrian workers, and all that Syrian black market activity, ceases, all at once, a devastating blow to a Syrian economy already reeling from losing its largest trading partner, Iraq. Yet Syria dare not enter the war to protect its interests because, unlike the hidden Hezbollah irregulars, Syria has precisely the sort of arms and armed formations that *can* be destroyed from the air by the Israelis.

What anyone *but* Buchanan can plainly see is that Israel's real target is not Lebanon, but Syria.

[dighton]

But it is hard to see what Israel has won.

Israel appreciates Pat’s concern, beyond a doubt.

Schmuck.

[elhombrelibre]

He did have some suggestions for Iran to hit us in Iraq, so he's not given up on his pals yet.

[freedomson]

PJB the ole jew baiter.

[Edgerunner]

Pat Rant...nothing to see here...

[sirjohn]

I don't bother reading Pat Buchanan any more. Did he say anything?

[johnny7]

How this serves Israel's or America's interests is difficult to see.

Maybe it's time for glasses... Fritz 'ol boy!.

[Dane]

Chamberlain was mistaken. War ended Nazi Germany, though the cost was high: the Holocaust, the collapse of the British Empire, the Stalinization of 11 nations of Eastern Europe, 50 million dead and half a century of Cold War.

LOL! Pat desperately trying to do damage control.

Uh Pat, there is your published book, where Pat stated that the US should have never entered WWII.

If Pat wasn't such a pompous DC insider, I would almost feel sorry for him, at his, dog with the tail behind his legs backtracking.

[PsyOp]

War ended Nazi Germany, though the cost was high: the Holocaust,

So the end of the Holocaust was part of the high price paid for ending Nazi Germany, and not a benefit. The mind of Buchannan has finally been revealed. There is no other way to read that sentence within the context he placed it.

[johnny7]

I think I hear the Horst Wessel Song playing in the background!

[rod1]

I wondered who could have written something so blantantly wrong-headed concerning the Israli response to the arab attemts to wipe them away. Then I saw it was Patrick Buchanan and all became clear.

Apparently Pat loves the Islamic terrorists almost as much as the most liberal of RATS. Guess he never worries much about the company he keeps.

it is a puzzle why Israel, provoked by Hezbollah, attacked a democratic Lebanon whose government had not committed the act of aggression

Israel attacked Hezbollah, which controls southern Lebanon, since the Lebanese government and military are either unwilling or incapable of doing so. The alternative was to do nothing. Hopefully this will resolve the mystery for Pat.
