I can't figure him out. Sunday on McLaughlin he was praising the heck out of GWB and now he's sticking him. He praised Bush and said how proud he was of him on the USS A. Lincoln.

Now, this crap...split personality or something...

He's actually being consistent here. His complaint is not so much about Bush himself, but about those people in the Bush administration who have abeen advocates for war against Iraq regardless of the WMD issue.

I'm no big fan of Pat Buchanan, but I do know this -- if Bill Clinton had pursued military action against Iraq on the basis of Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction program," there would be a lot of people here on FR demanding an answer when these weapons were never found.

He did the same thing on MSNBC today--he was gushing about Bush. I figure that Pat's like Arafat: he says one thing in English and the other in Arabic. In Pat's case, he says one thing in English (on TV) and the other in German (in print).

Pat knows his limitations. And his markets. In an open forum, like McLaughlin, he has to address reality so as to maintain his credibility.

But, in his columns and in his books, where he is speaking to his audience, it's important to write what they want to read -- if he wants them to buy his next book.

Which, of course, he does...
