2. Buchanan just does not do it right in this article. |

Buchanan does a fair job of making the case that Bush wanted war, facts be damned.
But then he leaves the reader hanging with the question: Why did Bush want war?
Is Bush just a crazy warmonger that likes to blow things up?
Almost all of the critics I've seen lately do not take the next step in their articles and talk about the immense profits and power that comes to the BFEE and the Military Industrial Complex that come from this war.
Buchanan and so many others leave the story only half told. :shrug:

3. I think it was a rhetorical question |
|
Why:
A matter of personal pique Oil Israel Distraction Money to cronies So he could be a "war president" Stupidity Hubris Make Unca Dick happy by doing what he is told
Any or all of the above now fit.

7. And I think George Carlin's list of words you can's say on television |
|
has been expanded to include "The Project for the New American Century."

Oil.
Blood for oil.
Plain and simple.
A fine example of how fear can get people to support anything govt wants to do.

Strange Bedfellows. My respect for Pat Buchanan has been rising steadily lately. At least he's honest.

6. Woo Hoo... Congratulations to the DU! |

All Buchanan needed to do is study the posts of DUers to research this article. We gotta take credit for telling the world what's really going on even as the GOP characterizes us as "fringe conspiracy nuts". Now one of their own darlings tells it like we have for over 3 years.
