"As we all know, he is against the Wot, the war on Iraq, and thinks we should sit in “Fortress America”."

No 'we' don't. You may have been brainwashed. Buchanan was for getting bin Laden for his attack on us. For some cross-eyed reason, Bush decided to attack Iraq instead of bin Laden. Buchanan is against fighting wars for Kosovo, Israel, Korea, Formosa, Kuwait and other entangling alliances. He does not put any country before America and is for defending America only.

That is rubbish. There's no "instead of". Bush ordered an invasion of Afghanistan, which was OBL's last known location. The invasion of Iraq that he ordered later was not ordered "instead of" something else. We are still trying to get OBL to the extent possible. It's not as if OBL is known to be in some specific place and Bush said "no, let's not get him there, let's invade Iraq instead". The fact is that nobody knows where OBL is (least of all you) and so even if the President were to say "let's put 100% of our GNP into getting OBL!!" this would not guarantee us any higher probability of getting OBL than we already have. If you think otherwise, this can only mean you think you know where OBL is. Where is he? Do tell.

Buchanan is against fighting wars for Kosovo, Israel, Korea, Formosa, Kuwait and other entangling alliances. He does not put any country before America and is for defending America only.

And lacks the imagination to apprehend how there can be times that the defense of America could be served by opposing tyrants elsewhere (and in the process defending other countries). Yes, perhaps this is accurate, sadly.
