Buchanan has gone so far right he looped around to the left. Sickening.

So, one group of Taliban Jihadists (about 6) who subsequently had their arses shot off, constitutes "huge Taliban forces not seen since 2001"??
This is the first i've heard that " President Hamid Karzai is losing the confidence of his people and our European allies."

Where does this come from? Oh yea, traitor media- the enemies forum.
I guess we should have done nothing, and just allow these Islamic nuts to grow and gather strength for the past five years.

he is genuinely lost his mind. Afghanistan is a paradise compared to what it has been.

well the Iraqi forces can defeat the insurgents alot easier than we can because they won't be operating under the same "rules of engagement". They'll slaughter them willy nilly.

As feminazis have a scorched earth attitude, so do the more general neo-Nazis. After they realize that they're not going to get what they want, they wish for the destruction of our country by enemies.

re: But if Americans, with the finest fighting forces on earth, have not been able to defeat the Iraqi insurgency, what makes us believe Iraqis trained by Americans will succeed where we failed.

Because it is there country.

The only way to really defeat a insurgency is for the people that is the locals to will it.

A insurgency to survive needs ground support from the locals.

"The question then could not be more critical. If victory in Iraq and Afghanistan is the Bush goal, why does he not tell the nation of the sacrifices victory clearly requires -- an indefinite commitment of far more U.S. troops than we have yet sent into either conflict?"


Uhm, maybe because we are helping to train those people to secure their own countries while we pull out? Duuuh??

Every time I read something from Buchanan, I get the feeling like we just heard the point of view from the lobotomized wing of the insane asylum. It is just such a waste of time.

Taliban dominates the southeast of the country at night and is fighting in the largest units it has deployed since the fall of the regime in 2001.

Coalition troops are mowing down the Taliban by the dozens daily with very few casualties of our own in comparison. Pat's got water on his brain.

According to Pat Buchanan, when the going gets tough, throw in the towel.

Did we build a "weak state" in Afghanistan?

Come on, Mr. Buchanan. God is not finished in Afghanistan yet. First we have to break the false prophets and the grip of the apostates. Do we have to call in the Chinese to carry out the janitorial work?

The Democratic Party, having voted to begin redeployment of U.S. forces out of Iraq, has taken its stand: end U.S. involvement, now or soon. If Bush, too, has decided to depart, America had best prepare for the strategic consequences abroad and the political consequences at home of another lost war for the United States.

The democrats sealed their fate of defeat this November by trotting out these series of "cut and run" initiatives and wrapped their political hopes of regaining power around them.

Only cowards, pantywaists, idiots and liberals would ever think cutting and running is the way toward victory.

Ummmmm, when did this happen? What was the vote tally? When did the Demonratic party assume the presidency and majority in CONgress?

If Bush, too, has decided to depart...

What in the world is he talking about???

"My message to the Iraqi people is this: seize the moment; seize this opportunity to develop a government of and by and for the people. And I also have a message to the Iraqi people that when America gives a commitment, America will keep its commitment."

Anti-Americanism is spreading.

Pat writes that line in almost every article he's ever penned since the late eighties, like it's breaking news.

the good news -- Zarqawi's death, completion of the Cabinet -- is old news.

Not as old as Herr Buchanan's "Anti-Americanism is spreading" crap.

Pat, not only did no one like you, you helped give us Clinton. You're a cancerous, decrepit, anti-Semitic, evil old bastard. Now shut up and go play with your pals on MSNBC.

Dear Pat,

This is a man.

This is you.

And Pat, the next time you wish to quote some anonymous career State Dept Democrat, try to find one who sounds just a bit more like a sniveling pansy.

The bicoastal elites and their presstitute minions are preparing another very major Vietnam style stab-in-the-back for our brave troops and for all patriotic Americans. Their objective, a decade of defeatism and demoralization into which they can inject their socialist socially engineered agendas. We must fight them every inch of the way.

Not very Christian of me, but I am really looking forward to this and only wish it were a Pay-Per-View event.
