There is also the matter of the 283 (?) Marines who died in their barracks due to Iran and Hezbowl.

There is definitely a score to settle with Iran, sooner the better. Getting that ball rolling would be a great swan-song for GWB.
Indeed, I am still waiting for an apology to the USA for Iran taking the hostages.
What makes me ill is the way that crazed nutjob, the President of Iran, was welcomed by the government of Iraq, like he was a bosom buddy. Makes you remember that all those crazed Muslims are, at the end of the day, crazed Muslims. We can’t trust any of them. Don’t rely on this war bringing us a trusted ally in Iraq.
Who are we to complain? We let Ahmadinejad (and Khatami) enter the USA and specifically New York TWICE. You may say that US officials didn’t welcome those thugs, but we WERE bowing down and had US security forces give security to these terrorist leaders!
Iran - yet another Carter F-up that has to be dealt with by adults.
It’ll end up being a lost opportunity like when you had western armies helping the Whites against the Reds in Russian in 1918+ . We could have killed the USSR in its crib but didn’t have the stomach after World War I.
I think Pat’s only problem is he writes in a manner that is too intellectual for the common folk. I think too many neo-cons spend too much time looking at these issues as singular events or problems. They are failing to grasp the bigger picture. I don’t think people are understanding the enormity of the problem and just what it would take to actually solve the problem at hand. It’s much bigger than the dork in Tehran.
This column is a good example of why I never pay any attention to anything that comes from Pat Buchanan. He is a perfect idiot, despite all pretence to the contrary.
The column does not even give the slightest attention to the significance of what Iran has been doing to us for years or how Iranian terrorists ARE killing many Americans.
No, all that Pat cares about is bashing “neo-cons” and he cannot even rationally discuss pros and cons and different approaches to dealing with the Iranian terrorist menace.
Pat is one notch above DEBKA.
Didn't Bush say he was against nation-building? That's what this amounts to, in trying to take on the whole world. A better plan would be to deport all the Muslims in OUR country, seal the borders, and live our lives. Why do we have to go over THERE? We're almost bankrupt as it is, AND we're on the verge of a recession/depression (created by our greedy banking institutions). Where is the money for yet ANOTHER war supposed to come from??? If some other country wants to try and take on the enemy, on enemy lands, let them. Why does it have to be US?
Ah, only had to read two words to see the Buchanan hallmark.
Thanks, Pat, for the early warning. Saved me a lot of effort reading your crap.
There's another small matter as well. There are 243 Marines crying out to be avenged. I've waited very patiently a very long time for that to happen.
First Iran, then Syria.

No wonder Bush likes Petraeus. Petraeus is right in line with Bush's nation-building. NEWSFLASH: Iraq and Iran, and any other Muslim country you can name, are NEVER going to be democratic! We can't make the whole world conform with our sense of democracy. It's just not going to happen.
The prosecution rests...
I wonder if Buchanan would be such an Iran defender is they weren’t so bent on the annihilation of Israel and all Jews?
Like wimp Father, like wimp son: Neither “Mission Accomplished” Bush or “Read My Lips” Bush ever had gonads to go for Iran...Buchanan’s thinking is more reflective of the time he spent under a man with such maleness: Reagan!
what was that?
follow the cash???
