So Pat has abansoned isolationism.

For---financially supporting HAMAS, avowed enemies of Israel.

Yeah, Pat, if you wonder why people say you are an anti-semite...? This piece is exhibit A.

BTW, how did you like the President's speech last night Pat? Sounded as though the President was addressing you in parts. :-D

I am very happy this was posted. It shows what a needle dick Pat Buchanan really is. Who gives this guy a forum to print his bleeding heart pro-Islamic views and anti-Israeli tirades. I don’t know if anyone has ever listened to Pat on Scarborough or kept an eye on his articles, but he constantly uses the term “neo-conservative” – those demon faeries that are behind all the evils of this world – global warming, warmongering, and cutting the brake lines on my car. Interesting that he uses a meaningless label more often slapped around by the liberal left. He is also quite inconsistent. On one hand he argues that the middle east should sort its own problems out, and America should retreat into itself, as the founders always advised. On the other hand he throws his weight behind the Islamo-facsists against Israel’s right to self defense. In fact he has been very clever. Slowly his opinion has evolved from indifferent isolationism to condemnation of America and its ally Israel. David Duke couldn’t have done it better. Hopefully, as Pat continues the path to leftist derangement his former supporters will realize they have adored the wrong person. That happened to me in regards to Senator McCain – although I would never put McCain the same category as this traitorous bum.

As for his contention that 4 Palestinian dies for every Israeli, kudos to Israel. An eye for an eye isn’t as effective as 4 eyes for every eye. I say let’s make the equation even more expensive for the

Let me propose another course. Put Hamas on probation.

They're already on multiple-times-secret probation, and they're already violated. Time for Dean Olmert to pull their charter, raze the house to the cellar, and salt the ground.

[Mo1]

Gee .. Pat and Jimmy Carter defending terrorists

[RaceBannon]

I cant believe I once worked on his campaign in 96

what an idiot.

[wotan]

I usually agree with Pat, but not here.

There was no excuse for funding the Palestinians before Hamas won the election and there is no excuse now.

We should terminate all aid to Israel, too. Maybe without us funding both sides, they'll finally arrive at an agreement. Not that it matters much.

[aposiopetic]

Either we deal with them, or fight them or get out of the Middle East.

In other words, we either deal with them, fight them, or ignore them. He had to think aloud for that entire column to arrive at this conclusion?

[rcocean]

Another great article by Pat B.

A voice of sanity.

[wardaddy]

It's not just Buchanan.

I saw Wolfowitz ...of all people ...say something similar.

Damn...

[COEXERJ145]

Pat's swastika is showing yet again.

[familyop]

One of many negative words to describe Patty: tembel (stupid).

[Clintonfatigued]

Here's a piece of history--There was never an independent Arab state of Palestine before Israel was founded. So what makes Buchanan think the Palestinians are entitled to an independent state? Also, he's conveniently forgetting that one of the tenants of the Hamas groups is the Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth, and Jerusalem named Capitol of Palestine.

Pat Buchanan has shown his true colors, and they are ugly. He has proven himself to be a crank and crackpot unworthy of serious discussion or even respect. Conservatives of all stripes should shun him.

[coulterfan1]

It's official: Buchanan has completely lost his mind.

[poindexter]

Wow. He's not even pretending anymore, is he?

[cookcounty]

"Heeding the "cakewalk" crowd, he [ Bush ] refused to listen....."

What is this ignoramus babbling about? The President said over and over again, ad nauseum, that this would be "long and difficult."

The problem is, every time the President speaks, Buchanan and the other appeasers immediately launch another twin expedition to find the elusive Deep Earwax Clot.

[Theodore R.]

My understanding is that Pat is not now defending foreign aid on principle, but because there will be foreign aid to the Palestinians, he is saying provide it with monitoring for Hamas. I disagree with him on the Middle East. Otherwise Pat is an original thinker. Both he and columnist Charley Reese seem to have soft spots for the Palestinians. I understand neither in that regard.

[meema]

bttt

[Toddsterpatriot]

This is perfect. Buchanan hates foreign aid except for Hamas. Why would that be? Because they want to destroy Israel? No, that can't be it.

Pat, the anti-Semite assclown.

[Cinnamon Girl]

What will Hamas do? They are not going to disarm in the face of an Israeli military that has been killing Palestinians – collateral damage, of course – at four times the rate that Palestinians have been killing Israelis. They are not going to give up their trump card and recognize Israel's right to exist before they get a Palestinian state.

Buchanan is a hamas propagandist IDIOT. We can always count on him to be on the wrong side of the Israel situation.
