Who is planning our next war?

For you ladies to compare with the words of our President.

[rlmorel]

Pat Buchanan jumped the shark a long time ago.

I personally do not feel President Bush is obsessed about his legacy the way some former Presidents are. He was President on 9/11...I think he is more concerned with keeping our country safe than he is with his legacy.

I was planning to jokingly suggest an answer:

Surely it is the JOOOOOOOS Pat

But, as reliable as a clock, Pat puts the answer in his essays.

I wonder how Pat enjoyed the holocaust denial conference in Iran. If he did not go, its a real shame.

[cripplecreek]

We've lost in Afghanistan now too?

"Succeeding in Iraq also requires defending its territorial integrity — and stabilizing the region in the face of the extremist challenge. This begins with addressing Iran and Syria. These two regimes are allowing terrorists and insurgents to use their territory to move in and out of Iraq. Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops. We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq.

We are also taking other steps to bolster the security of Iraq and protect American interests in the Middle East. I recently ordered the deployment of an additional carrier strike group to the region. We will expand intelligence sharing — and deploy Patriot air defense systems to reassure our friends and allies. We will work with the governments of Turkey and Iraq to help them resolve problems along their border. And we will work with others to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons and dominating the region."


Pulled from the text of the President's speech. See above... One note on this posting. This President may not care about "His Legacy". He may actually have the same beliefs as Churchill and Roosevelt. This reporter who wrote this is arrogant enough to tell us what the President is thinking.

[Howlin]

What a fool he is.

[TADSLOS]

Well, at least Pat is consistent. Consistently anti-Israel and consistently wrong headed.

[nopardons]

Many thanks for the ping! :-)

[rlmorel]

Agreed....particularly your last paragraph.

[joseph20]

We are to be convinced that Iran, with no air force or navy to speak of, an economy not 2 percent of ours, which has not started a single war since the revolution, 27 years ago, is about to give to terrorists, to use on us, a nuclear bomb it may be 10 years away from even being able to build.

How does Buchanan know that Iran is 10 years away from building a nuclear bomb?

And why does Buchanan minimize the threat that comes from the single largest state-sponsor of terrorism in the entire world?

[Howlin]

This reporter who wrote this is arrogant enough to tell us what the President is thinking.

That would be on Patrick J. Buchanan, who never could be president.

[CWOJackson]

"I wonder how Pat enjoyed the holocaust denial conference in Iran. If he did not go, its a real shame."

He may not have been invited. Even a despot can have some limits.

[Howlin]

Or will this new Congress summon the courage to take the war option out of Bush's hands, to decide itself, for the nation, when, where and whether America should ever go to war against Iran?

Has Pat rewritten the Constitution while we weren't looking?

[SeaBiscuit]

By God, I wouldn't want to depend on this guy to protect me from enemies.

Pray for our CIC and Troops.

[dighton]

A propaganda campaign, using Israeli agents and their neocon auxiliaries and sympathizers, who stampeded us into war in Iraq, is being prepared to stampede us into war on Iran.

Waiting for his few remaining defenders to check in from Argentina.

[popdonnelly]

Now Buchanan is bitching about Afghanistan? No, I forgot, he bitched about it before it started. We have to consult with Mr. Buchanan first, so we can find out which military action is acceptable. Really, it's a waste of time to read opinion from a former Agnew speechwriter.

"We are to be convinced that Iran, with no air force or navy to speak of, an economy not 2 percent of ours, which has not started a single war since the revolution, 27 years ago, is about to give to terrorists, to use on us, a nuclear bomb it may be 10 years away from even being able to build."

Pat's been right on target with regards to immigration, the culture war ect ect. But he's wrong on this one and I'll be the first to admit it.

[popdonnelly]

"A propaganda campaign, using Israeli agents and their neocon auxiliaries and sympathizers, who stampeded us into war in Iraq, is being prepared to stampede us into war on Iran."

That's not a very lucid observation, is it?

Bite me Pat
