It is only a matter of time before war errupts in the Middle East. It is going to happen, no matter what.
What Buchanan & the rest of the clowns on the McLaugh-In Group, except for Tony Blankley, have failed to realize all these many years is that sooner or later we are going to have to give the Muzzies the Jihad they so desperately want.
Although with Iran, Gen. McInerney says that their nuclear facilities could be taken out in a weekend by the U.S.A.F. Although I expect the Israelis will do the deed.
I like Pat and he is sometimes insightful. Other times, like now, he is in another solar system.
Pat Buchanan is an isolationist.
That particular war’s been going for thirty years. It’s just that so far, only one side’s been fighting.
Let me help Pat out, they don't want a conventional war.
They want to use terror and extortion to gain power. And once they have the power they need to wage a war, Israel will be the first to be attacked.
Well observed and well said.
I think Ron Paul is a true isolationist; Pat is an anti-Semite.
He talks y about restraining Israel from bombing Iran and criticized Israel piss poor performance in Israel as wanton agression.
A true isolationist would not want foreign aid anywhere on the globe, but Pat wants it with Hamas so it can destroy the 5.5 million Jews of Israel.
Well, I think Pat presents a compelling case for an attack on Iran rather than suggesting reasons to oppose it, as he does.
In addition to what Pat wrote (and, you know, Senator Lieberman’s question was set up, duh), many other signs, many blatant, some inconclusive in isolation but portentous in combination, suggest a war is not too far away in the ME, less than six months I’d guess, but just a guess as I know nothing.
Still, it seems sorta obvious that Israel and Hezbollah are heading toward a showdown soon.
Despite Pat’s implication that the US calls the shots, a lot of the reasons why it will happen are beyond our influence to stop unless we threatened to nuke all of them. But it may take more than threats. So, because that won’t work, we may as well see that it happens on our terms.
Finally, I do not feel in my gut that Bush will leave office with Iran unmolested and increasingly belligerent: The final and most dangerous player in his trio of evil.
Add everything up, including the Nov. election, and I’d say watch for a new moon in June.
Come now, Pat, I think you're seriously underestimating what that woman is capable of doing.
George Washington was an isolationist.
Pat is correct in his analysis as usual. Bush has the upper hand with the congressional mealy mouths and they will rubber stamp any action he takes against Iran.
Orville & Wilbur Wright’s parents were probably isolationists too.
Things changed with the next generation.
LOLOL!!!
I was thinking the same thing as I read Pat's article. Add to that all of the articles that have been posted on FR over the past few weeks offering compelling information about this topic and it seems very likely Bush has intentions of setting Iran back a decade or so in their acquisition of nuclear weapons and long range delivery systems.
Aside from the moonbat peaceniks, and the iranians, who would seriously oppose this, Russia?
""Is it fair to say that the Iranian-backed special groups in Iraq are responsible for the murder of hundreds of American soldiers and thousands of Iraqi soldiers and civilians?"
"It certainly is. ... That is correct," said Petraeus. "
"...Petraeus testified, in her presence, that it is behind the serial murder of U.S. soldiers."
I like Pat, probably one of the few FReepers who do, but his incessant criticisms of Bush are lacking objectivity in my view.
This going into Iran shoulda happened already.
