So PJB isn't a member of the "Amen Chorus".
What else is new?
IMHO, that's one of Pat's most endearing attributes.
He has the spine to tell it like it is.
Did you hear or read the UN speech yet? It seems that Bush has taken the UN at their word as to their primary worth and given them a "Prove It" demand.
Yeah, had it on the tube.
Not entirely sure why I bothered...
Didn't hear anything surprising.
Perhaps one day you will finally understand why buchanan, advisor to presidents, never rose above speech writer.
It seems to me that Dubya should be making his case for going to War before Congress, not the UN.
But Congressional weasels are content in their roles as bickering obstructionists, more intent on micromanaging local school boards. I don't see any mature leadership in D.C. at all.
This article reminds of a quote:
"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."

Who is Hitler, Jr.? You don't really mean Saddam, do you? Unfortunately I am at work and don't have the infinite amount of time it would require to lay out the differences between Hitler and Hussein. I remember, during the Gulf War, hearing repeatedly how Hussein was the new Hitler. Please . Yeah, they're both corrupt and bear evil intentions (which puts them in the same boat with most Democratic nominees for POTUS), but that's about where the similarities end.
BTW, newbie, welcome to Free Republic. Being a young conservative in the Bluegrass, do I know you?
Those who are blinded by Pat-hate just can't see this obvious solution. It seems that those who advocate for American interests in the Near East are, by their definition, anti-Semitic.
We have used containment on much more dangerous countries than Iraq. Pat was right, foreign entanglements will bring war to our shores. BTW Pat was not for going to war for Taiwan or in Kosovo either which makes him anti-something-or-other too.
Why? He already has the permission of Congress.
September 14th resolution, anyone?
NORTHEN IRAQ IS NOT UNDER SADDAM'S CONTROL. Hence you don't need to depose Saddam to get at the Al Qeada elements there. Is that so difficult to understand?
You mean where Congress once again abdicated it's Constitutional obligation to issue a formal decalaration of War???
That resolution authorized the prez to go after the 9-11 perpetrators. From what information has been made public so far, Iraq is not one of those perpetrators.
Then you have some reading to do.
After all, Saddham did have a Boeing Commercial Airline Fuselage in Baghdad and had Al Qaeda operatives, including Mohammad Atta, actively training and using the fuselage to prepare for the attacks in America.
An exagerated repitition of unconfirmed reports made by unnamed sources. Forgive me if I am skeptical.
I didn't know Saddam had so many apologists here. Learn something new everyday.

By Hitler I am refering to the desire and intention of genocide. That's all the parallel I need to be upset. Others may require a more exact interpretation. Perhaps I should have clarified my position better.
You probably don't know me. I moved to Union, Kentucky a few years back from Seattle, Washington. I love the Midwest and kiss the left-coast goodbye, forever. Or, at least until they clean up their liberal act. =)
