F___ Buchanan!

Though I usually disagree with Buchanan, I don't so much in this case. I think he's right: We do need to increase the size of our standing army, and not rely so heavily on reservists.

We must draft women to be fair. We can not proceed with discrimination as usual against men who have to serve. 18 year old girls must begin to register with Selective Service. No glass ceilings here. Mommy can hug her daughter good bye just like her son. Register girls now!!

S**** you Buchanan

Pat will come up with a million reasons to lose so that he can be the prophet. He's a phony and a nitwit, an American Firster without a sense of what America should be about. He's the enemies best friend in America.

"Now, we are willing to go to war with a Russia with thousands of atomic weapons -- over Estonia. Have we lost our minds?"'

To answer your question Pat: No.

But you clearly have lost yours. Do you recall any of the cold war? We constantly risked war with the Soviets who indeed had thousands of atomic weapons.

There are several salient points in this essay which raises hopes of some coherent conclusion. But alas, there is nothing here.

What is his point? Should we increase the military or should we stand down so the Russians can have their way?

Besides a handful of social issues, there isn't much difference between the paleocons and the Dems these days. Both despise capitalism and free trade, both distrust the notion that American military power can be used for good, and both see the world as reducible to cultures instead of ideas.

How nice of All-American Pat to get out from behind the wheel of his Mercedea-Benz and take valuable time from managing his overseas investments so that he can regale us with more of his armchair warrior military genius.

Buchanan's testicles have shriveled into raisins.
