You’re entitled to your opinion. But where are the facts? It is obvious you don’t like Buchanan’s position of putting America first and staying out of local wars.

I actually agree that we should not get involved in Syria. Not necessarily for the reasons Buchanan does. (Although he's not very coherent about it) A secret treaty that was made almost 100 years ago, and really isn't as significant as Buchanan makes it out to be.

In fact, this current civil war in Syria is actually helping the U.S. Among other things, it's distracting Iran and Syria with their proxy war there. It's sucking all the energy of the Middle East into Syria.

I do, however, doubt Buchanan's claims that President Obama is such a hero in that regard. First of all, the President may get us into that war soon. Secondly, how come Buchanan gives him a pass on Libya? We had no reason to invade Libya. We only aided Al Qaeda by doing it. We were giving money to Gadaffi immediately before that.

It seems like Buchanan isn't always for putting the U.S. first and staying out of local wars first. He's quite the neocon when it suits his purpose. Maybe people should call him miniMcCain.
