"Neocons have been believing their own PR that the US is the world's only superpower."Now is appears the neocons were the ones who think Bush is dumb. They have supported him in the past because they thought they could lead him around by the nose. Now when he is setting his own course, they are treatening to withdraw support.
Message to President Bush 'ye hardly knew them' - the press is about to descend upon you.
I have to laugh everytime anyone posts anything to do with Buchanan. The Buchanan haters jump out of the rafters and immediately begin to criticize him and the topic as if he has no business speaking about anything.

How's the saying go, "Those who are your friends will become your enemies"?
- Now if the 41 foreign-policy scholars who co-signed the letter also said that they demand that all of their eligible children, nieces and nephews be allowed to fight on the front lines in the fight to protect America from America's and Israel's enemies, I would be much more impressed with their sincerity.
When you stand up and demand that someone elses sons and daughters die for your cause you have become their enemy.
- The terrorist attacks on America were organized by Bin Laden and his troops. These are our immediate enemy that must be defeated.
- If we cut the head off the snake, we will not be bitten again. Remember Arafat, it only took a couple of strikes to convince him that we meant business. By killing Bin Laden and sending some of his troops to public trial we will convince the radical Muslims that we mean business. The Delta and SEAL teams will do a few quiet assasinations that will convince the other groups in Lybia, Iran, Pakistan, and Iraq that yes, they killed the entire family tree of Mr. So and So. By golly, they do mean business.
- The worlds OIL and OIL FIELDS will always be signs of strength. An attack on any oil field will arouse the armies of the free world as was shown in Kuwait. I would think they will not be a target in the next decade. Beyond, probably so.
We should have killed Saddam Hussein when we had the chance but I think there was some rule about killing Heads of State at the time. America obeys the Rules and other countries don't! Are we foolish, yes, honorable, yes. Perhaps these subjects should be election discussions.
I think Bush has made it clear to the world that he is making the Rules now from his Rule Book. He doesn't want a NATO or a UN Force, he is keeping it Americans dying for America. When the Israelis decide to keep it Israelis dying for Israel I will understand them better.
I hope Bush doesn't start to whine when his enemies go to the UN for support.
