Is Putin Being Set Up?

I'm surprised he didn't blame the JOOOOOOS.

He didn't? Goldfarb, Berezovsky? :)

[Revolting cat!]

Next time, as a scientific experiment, post a Buchanan article and sign Ann Coulter's name under it. The cat predicts they'll be slobbering all over their seventeen inch screens agreeing with "her".

[yldstrk]

Apologist.

Just because Pat is obviously wrong, doesn't mean he's stupid OR crazy. Perhaps like the broken clock right twice a day, he does have the right position on immigration (yes,I mean legal as well).

[Dog Gone]

If Berezovsky is a Jew, this gentile didn't recognize that. It only reinforces my point, though.

Pat is not to be taken seriously on any foreign policy matter. He does better with his stupid Fortress America thinking where we pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist.

[Zeppo]

In an assassination, one must ask: Cui bono? To whose benefit? Who would gain from the poisoning of Litvinenko?

Excellent point, Pat... Our longtime friends and allies in the government of Syria have been saying much the same thing about the recent assassinations of Rafiq Hariri and Pierre Gemayel in Lebanon. Clearly those foul deeds must have been perpetrated by the Mossad with the goal of making Syria look bad. Only an idiot would believe that Syria had anything to do with those incidents...

Is it really necessary to include a sarcasm disclaimer here?

[He Rides A White Horse]

Certainly not Putin. Litvinenko's death puts him, the Kremlin and the KGB, now the FSB, under suspicion of having reverted to the terror tactics of Stalin, who commissioned killers to liquidate enemies like Leon Trotsky, murdered in Mexico in 1940.

Putin is a KGB agent.

This is just stupid.

[saveliberty]

In fact, he did blame the Jews today.

Pat Buchanan is an anti-Semite. The fact that he's also stupid is an unanticipated bonus.

[kenavi]

9-11 too. Pearl Harbor. And the JFK assassination.

[eleni121]

Who is out to kill Putin?

---

You must be kidding...
For one - Chechnyans - many have stated thier intentions to do this.
Second---Soros and his cronies, some of whom have resurfaced with this latest murder.

[A. Pole]

In fact, he did blame the Jews today. Pat Buchanan is an anti-Semite.

Should Mr. Berezovski be immune on account of his origin?

[steve-b]

Litvinenko's statement is awfully coherent and eloquent for a man writhing in a death agony.

I await Pat Buchanan's column laughing off the various martyrdom traditions of the saints.

While his agonizing public death would make him a celebrity even more famous than Georgi Markov, the Bulgarian anti-communist murdered in London in 1979

I await Pat Buchanan's column explaining that Georgi Markov actually killed himself in order to unfairly blacken the reputation of the Soviet state.

it may tell us who the real enemies of this country are

We already know, Pat... unfortunately for you.

[saradippity]

Yikes!!!I said the same thing earlier today on another thread. It gets pretty scary to think I came to the same conclusion using the reverse "cui bono" method and hadn't read Pat's column.

[Thunder90]

Buchanan is a Putinist.

[steve-b]

One hopes Mr. Buchanan does not bleed too much from his fight with Occam's Razor.

Mr. Buchanan thinks that "Occam's Razor" is the brand name of box cutter involved in the official cover-up story for Bush's 9/11 conspiracy.

[steve-b]

I'm surprised he didn't blame the JOOOOOOS.

Not in so many words, but you don't have to read very far between the lines if you're at all familiar with his style of wingnuttery.

[steve-b]

Sure he's being set up. First he poisoned the president of the Ukraine, then he killed the newspaper journalist, now he poisoned and killed a fellow former KGB agent. If you belive he didn't do it, I have some beach front property for sale in Arizona.

LOL. Buchanan's column reads like one of Squealer's screeds pinning the blame of all Animal Farm's troubles on the machinations of Snowball.

[A. Pole]

Buchanan is a Putinist.

In a sense he is. Both Putin and Buchanan are nationalists as they put the national interests first.

[dr_who_2]

Leave it to Pat.

"Litvinenko's death puts him, the Kremlin and the KGB, now the FSB, under suspicion of having reverted to the terror tactics of Stalin..."

Would they EVEN care????
