Buchanan on McLaughlin: Iraq war was "unecessary"

[FlashHarry]

Also mentioned the Office of Special Plans. He's absolutely hammering the Admin. Amazing to hear a true conservative in these times. (Don't get me wrong, he's still an anti-choice, xenophobic racist.)

1. Yeah...but Pat DID back shrub....

after the dye was cast... So, what's the difference? :shrug:
For that matter...many of the dem candidates voted in favor of
shrub's attrocities as well.... :eyes:

2. True, but he's totally yelling at Fat Tony.

It's pretty fun to watch!

5. And they will likely all rue the day they did

3. I liked Tony B's prediction

that indictments will be handed down in the Plame case soon. Maybe he knows something we don't.

4. Well when are they going to reign in these fucknuts like Bush?

:shrug:

I think it's simply a demonstrated lack of intelligence that makes Republicans what they are. I mean, seriously, did you see this idiot on MtP?

[Taeger]

6. I NEVER thouht I'd say this but ....

GO BUCHANAN!!!!!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Please Buchanan, make another run for the White House!!!!!!

Either that, or endorse Lydon LaRouche ;-)

7. Pat Buchanan

They guy's message is consistent but don't forget his gay-baiting culture war speech at the 1992 Repub Convention that almost singlehandedly helped Clinton win. He's a culture war baiter, and his main advantage over Bush is that he's honest about who he is. I'm not sure that I could ever vote for him even against Bush. Read the speech again:

Pat is very much right about the neocons and the wrongness of the Iraq War (I remember thinking over the last year that "Buchanan can't be in favor this, gee I wonder why he's not on the air at all these days? Must've been marginalized because he's not 'on message'"), and there are some very good articles in his American Conservative mag, which are basically all anti Iraq invasion and anti neocon from what I've seen.
