Why Are We Baiting Putin?
by Patrick J. Buchanan

"o legitimate interest is served when oil and gas become tools of intimidation or blackmail, either by supply management or attempt to monopolize transportation," thundered Vice President Cheney to the international pro-democracy conference in Vilnius, Lithuania.

"o one can justify actions that undermine the territorial integrity of a neighbor, or interfere with democratic movements."

Cheney's remarks were directed straight at the Kremlin and President Vladimir Putin, who is to host the G-8 Conference in July.

Cheering Cheney on is John McCain, front-runner for the GOP nomination, who has urged President Bush to snub Putin by boycotting the G-8 summit. What the GOP is thus offering the nation right now is seven more years of in-your-face bellicosity in foreign policy.

1. republicans need a bad guy to slam for the Nov elections.

Ruepublicans think they do best when Foreign policy includes a boogy man.

2. Because the Cold War so benefitted the GOP masters

And in these tough economic times, the military-industrial complex needs another cold war to boost revenues.

4. only problem is buchanan voted for bush in 2004

even though he disagreed with his policies

buchanan is an anti-Jewish hypocrite, mccain is a phoney who oppossed making Martin Luther King day a national holiday, thought it cool to speak at bob jones university, was up to his neck in the S&L crisis, and wouldn't even support his family when they were attacked by the bush/rove machine

both are nothing but pukes
