You got 60. (Buchanan supports Commander-in-Chief, President Bush)
MSNBC - Buchanan and Press ^ | 3-19-03 | Buchanan

Posted on 03/19/2003 10:34:46 AM PST by ex-snook

The president of the United States did indeed speak last night. He said Saddam Hussein and his sons have 48 hours to get out of town, and, if they don’t, we’re going to take them down and take down the regime. So, that’s what’s coming, upcoming, folks. And when that happens and when Americans go into battle, it seems to me that the right thing to do for patriots, when American lives are at risk and Americans are dying, is to unite behind the troops until victory is won.

Now, on this show, BUCHANAN & PRESS, we’ve had a good debate for eight months on this conflict, ever since last July. We’ve had pacifists and super hawks and doves and hawks. But now it seems, when the war comes, the debate ends, at least temporarily, until victory is achieved and the Americans march into Baghdad, when the debate will open again as to where we go from there.

But, for right now, I think we back our troops, and that means all of them. And that includes, for this writer certainly, and I hope for many of us, the commander in chief, because, after all, he is our leader in this war.

I think unity, Bill, is essential at this time, or at least when the guns begin to fire.

Brigaders ride to the sound of the guns.

Buchanan Supports Commander-in-Chief, President Bush.

He never said that. He said he supports the troops.

I'm no Buchanan fan, but read it again, Sink....

I think we back our troops, and that means all of them. And that includes, for this writer (Buchanan) certainly, and I hope for many of us, the commander in chief, because, after all, he is our leader in this war.

My mistake. If anyone actually believes he supports Bush, after all the grief he's given him lately, they're naive.

He never said that.

Not those exact words. He said commander in chief, which is close enough.

I believe he did say that. From the article:

And that (support) includes, for this writer certainly, and I hope for many of us, the commander in chief, because, after all, he is our leader in this war.

(to sinkspur) "What's wrong with you?"

Forgive him, Buchanan's light of truth always blinds him.

Uh, yes he did.
