From one right winger to other greedy, right wing fear peddling lunatics.

[Zinfandel]

In ridiculing Richard Perle and David Frum's assertion that our war caravan's next stop must be Iran, Buchanan asks:

"Where in the Constitution is the president empowered to "toss dictators aside"? And if it took 150,000 U.S. soldiers to toss Saddam aside, how many troops do Frum and Perle think it will take to occupy the capital of a nation three times as large and populous and toss the ayatollah aside? How many dead and wounded would our war hawks consider an acceptable price for being rid of the mullahs?"

Buchanan also goes on to say...

"Fear is what Perle and his co-author David Frum are peddling to stampede America into serial wars. Just such fear-mongering got us into Iraq, though, we have since discovered, Iraq had no hand in 9/11, no ties to al-Qaeda, no weapons of mass destruction, no nuclear program, and no plans to attack us. Iraq was never "the clear and present danger" the authors insist she was.


The war Netanyahu and the neo cons want, with the United States and Israel fighting all of the radical Islamic states, is the war bin Laden wants, the war his murderers hoped to ignite when they sent those airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

If America wishes truly to be isolated, it will follow the neoconservative line."

This is an excellent article on today's DU front page.

1. I love it!

Try this scenario on for size:

Imagine Hardball with Chris Mathews His guests are Pat Buchanan, Peggy Noonan (a regular anyway) Richard Pearle and William F. Buckley.

The topic: The battle for the Heart of the Republican Party!

I'd invite friends and get lots of popcorn for that one. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Tweety and every cable talking head spent hours and hours discussing the "crisis in the Republican party"?

Our Congressman, Dave Obey said at a local gathering last fall that the biggest thing the Repubs are trying to hide is just how divided the party has become. Being good Repubs, however, they all fell in line. But maybe this is about to end.

2. I like your line up...but I'd also toss in the pigman, he wouldn't know

whom to drop his his pants and bend over for...I take that back, Limbaugh would bend over for all of them (including Noonan) and love every second of it!!!:puke:

3. I may not agree

with some of the positions Pat Buchanan espouses, but at least he sticks to the tenants of the original republican party, and appears to have the best intentions for this republic at heart. Too bad more with old time values are not speaking up and denouncing these power hungry crooks.

4. I've said it before

Pat is REALLY surprising me lately. Where the hell are our democrats? THEY should be writing this. Although it feels better when it's one of their own throwing the stones. He really seems to have it in for the bush men -- first poppy and now shrub. I'd love to know the behind-the-scenes story on this one.

5. My god, I always feel so guilty ...

... when I agree with a right-wing hatemonger.

6. it's so damn bizarre to be rooting for Pat Buchanan

I always HATED that guy.

Now he's the voice of truth and reason.

Go figure. That's how bad the neocons are, that Pat Buchanan looks like Moses!
