Whose War? (Israel’s “amen corner” has plans for America to fight many wars in the Middle East.)

If paleo-conservatives of Pat Buchanan's ilk aren't crypto-quasi-fascists then by God they'll pass muster until the real thing comes along!

[mhking]

Buchanan is full of himself and full of used food.

[Catspaw]

He sounds like Jim Moran.

[Guyin4Os]

Buchanan has gone so far to the anti-Israel right that the American leftists will start embracing him.

[anniegetyourgun]

And here I thought that Pat had read his bible....or at least enough to know who is really in the cross-hairs of the spirit of antichrist.

Buchanan went to Seattle during the anti-golbalization riots a couple of years or so ago and had some kind words for the anarchist/nihilist rioters.

[veronica]

Same old same old, eh Quid?

[vishnu2]

There is a great deal of plausible truth in what he says. If Israel is our true freind then why do they sell any technological secret we give them to the Chinese?

[anniegetyourgun]

How well I recall that. He was the darling of the rioters (and a few conservative kooks) for the day.

[goldstategop]

Uh huh. And we're fighting Israel's wars how and where exactly?

[Cinnamon Girl]

Sorry, Pat, you're still an anti-semite.

[ConservativeConvert]

The simple fact is that America and Israel share common enemies and are fighting the same fight. For those to whom Sept 11th wasn't enough of a wake-up call, one can only assume it would take nuclear devastation to get the point. It is more than likely that Israel (Jews) will be, as always, the sacrificial lamb required to scare the world out of its stupor.

[Jimmyclyde]

The same reason we sell it to them.

[Redleg Duke]

Pat Buchanan and "Douchbag" seem to cling together.

What a Jew-hating bastard he is!

[Jimmyclyde]

LOL

[Wphile]

Sorry, Pat, you're still an anti-semite.

Yep.

[r9etb]

I knew from the headline alone that this came from the fetid pen of Mr. Patrick J. Shut-the-Buch-anan. Title and author say it all -- no point in reading after the byline. Sorry, pat.

[Jimmyclyde]

PING

For America is about to make a momentous decision: whether to launch a series of wars in the Middle East that could ignite the Clash of Civilizations against which Harvard professor Samuel Huntington has warned

Buchanan is blind. The clash is already here. It started in the early nineties--WTC, the Cole and 9/11. The Clintonistas resolutely ignored that it was here. Buchanan firmly sides with Clinton in wanting us to keep our head in the sand.

I have no particular attachment to Israel. It does not require one to see that the Clash of Civilizations is here. The only choice we have is when we respond to it. The longer Pat Buchanan can talk us into ignoring it, the worse it will be.

[contessa machiaveli]

pat's an angry dude (perhaps he's had to repress his true sexuality?)and for some reason he's made israel the repository of all his hate.
i always wondered why he and his darling shelley never had a child...or for that matter adopted.
