Buchanan nails it. Iran is a Third World backwater, not a grave threat to the United States. And if it does become a threat, Israel has the military might to deal with it.

I for one do not think we should attack Iran. I think we should (secretly) pay a huge amount of money to Israel and guarantee we will stand by them 100% if there are any repercussions afterward.

Iran is sending weapons and personnel into IRaq who are killing our soldiers. don’t let people with an agenda keep this fact out of the discourse. they’re diverting us.

Iran is sponsoring people who are killing our people. and Columbia bestows legitimacy upon their leader?

AND the state and federal governments are subsidizing Columbia??????

When Osama gets in trouble he goes to Afganistan. When things get hot there, he goes east toward Pakistan. Not west toward Iran,

he knows he wouldn't be safe there....

Caliphate on camels and rugs has been highly overrated as a danger to the world. Time to get real.

‘Buchanan nails it. Iran is a Third World backwater, not a grave threat to the United States.’

Be sure to tell that to the parents of dead US soldiers, courtesy of Iran manufactured IED’s.

This is the kind of thinking that has allowed Iran to wage a more-or-less covert terror war against us for the last 28 years with virtual impunity.

Calling Mr. Iwannajihad ‘Hitler’ isn’t ‘girding for war’. It’s a statement that the little Iranian is just as mean nasty, anti-Semitic, and doctrinaire as the original. He believes he and his kind (Islamists) are the superiors, and everyone else should kowtow to them. It has nothing to do with how many plane, trains, or automobiles the man has, though clearly, he can do a lot more damage with his nukes than Adolph ever dreamed.

Buchanan is an idiot. The jihadis who smashed the WTC were all from 3rd world backwater nations too. It does not pay to ignore these threats. If billybob klintoon had taken appropriate action in the 1990’s when the threat first surfaced, a lot of later tragedy could have been averted.

Buchannan is an infantile moron who has utterly NO grip on current reality. Guess this senile old Dincon is just ignoring the hundred of Americans military personal the Iranians have murdered over the years. Guess he figures if he doesn’t see it, he can kid himself that they are not all ready at war with us.

The bulk of the world’s oil comes from that part of the world. The USA is dependent on the free flow of oil out of the ME. It can not allow any national to dominate that region.

Iran is building up it military forces and seeking nukes so that it can dominate that region. Once it gets nukes can simply bully their neighbor oil rich region into following it’s lead on oil policy. If we followed Pat’s infantile Isolationist dogms, the USA be seen by the local powers as an unreliable ally would could be counted on to run away the minute the Iranians rattled their sabers.

Following the “Let’s hide under the bed and hope the bad men go away” dogma of the Neo-Isolationist Buchannittes would make war with Iran MORE likely at a later date at a much great cost to the USA

NO they don't. NICE you and Paddy have feelings. Please stop confusing them with facts.

Israel is a very small country. It does not have a large enough air force to take out a country the size of Iran.

Israel does NOT have 200-300 nukes. In fact, the claim they have nukes at all is just so much rumor. There is no way to prove it since Israel has never conducted a nuke test.

As for the Iran attacking us in Iraq. The facts have been presented to you in dozens of threads. You simply put your hands over your eyes and scream "NO NO NO NO NO" That you want to cling to your emotional denial and "hide under the bed until the bed men go away" dogmas does NOT change the facts about Irans proxy war against US.

That you refuse, like Paddy, to see your silly Neo Isolationist dogmas are as unworkable in 2007 as Isolationism was in 1940 is YOUR problem, not ours. The rest of us all ready know how stupid this "hide under the bed" doctrine is in the post 09-11-01 world.

Buchanan is a moron.
Hitler wasn’t a threat to world peace when he annexed the Rhineland and seized Czechoslovakia. We (more specifically, the Euroweenies) let him GROW into a menace.

So basically what Paddy and his Freeper stooges are advocating is we run away and hide under our beds and create a power vacuum in the ME so that the Chinese and the Russians can dominate the Western world’s Oil supply thru their proxy Iran.

Which shows that like the Hysteric Left, the Rabid Right will under NO circumstance ever defend this nation. They are too busy clinging to their failed Neo Isolationist dogmas to realize the world has change a great deal since 1930.
