WHERE ARE THE CHRISTIANS? Pat Buchanan
Wed Jul 19, 6:50 AM ET

When Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert unleashed his navy and air force on Lebanon, accusing that tiny nation of an "act of war," the last pillar of Bush's Middle East policy collapsed.

First came capitulation on the Bush Doctrine, as Pyongyang and Tehran defied Bush's dictum: The world's worst regimes will not be allowed to acquire the world's worst weapons. Then came suspension of the democracy crusade as Islamic militants exploited free elections to advance to power and office in Egypt, Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, Iraq and Iran.

.................

Already, Bush is ranting about Syria being behind the Hezbollah capture of the Israeli soldiers. But where is the proof?

Who is whispering in his ear? The same people who told him Iraq was maybe months away from an atom bomb, that an invasion would be a "cakewalk," that he would be Churchill, that U.S. troops would be greeted with candy and flowers, that democracy would break out across the region, that Palestinians and Israelis would then sit down and make peace?

How much must America pay for the education of this man?

1. Good lord. Pat Buchanan making good points. Maybe the Rapture is

imminent after all.

I agree with other DU posters who find it uncomfortably shocking to find Pat making any sense on the issues.

But that last line there is a humdinger.

[Warpy]

2. Buchanan has made sense on a few issues for a long time.

So has poor, insane Lyndon LaRouche.

The bulk of both their philosophies remains repugnant to me, and I'd suspect to most thinking people.

Blessed be the cracked, for they shall allow in the light.

7. "Blessed by the cracked..." What a terrific line. And completely

appropriate for Pat, too.

[ixion]

3. absolutely... I start looking for flying donkeys when Buchanan

starts making sense.

Strange world.

4. Did someone say "Flying Donkeys"?

[Rainscents]

6. LOL!

:P Yep, that's the one!

[Bake]

12. I thought they meant "flying monkeys!"

And assumed it was a typo. Now get your "ass" back in the Lounge!

5. By god, you're right... one just flew past my window. Swear to God!

And he was on fire, too!

And hee-hawing like a crazyass.

The End Days are here!

8. Where are the x-tians??? Murdering children in the ME, in His name.

10. They are celebrating the stem cell veto

Damn pigs will fly - Pat Buchanan sounds rational.:hide:

[Swamp Rat]

11. How's the weather in Jamaica?

I might stop there on my way back to live in Brasil... I'm sick of flying pigs. :hide:

[malaise]

14. It's raining at the moment

thankfully since it's way too hot. When are you heading back to Brazil?

9. Pat has NEVER liked *bush

I loathe Buchanan, but I loathe him marginally less than I loathe the child king. Pat makes good points consistently when he grouses against georgie boy, and that's good enough for me.

[stop the bleeding]

13. They are NOT Christians

none of them that voted for *, they all have tons of blood on their hands,

is hell freezing over?
