Take the Deal, Mr. President

By Patrick J. Buchanan If Barack Obama is sincere in his policy of "no nukes in Iran -- no war with Iran," he will halt this rude dismissal of the offer Tehran just made to ship half its stockpile of uranium to Turkey.

By Patrick J. Buchanan On Sept. 20, 2002, as the War Party was beating the drum for preventive war on Iraq, lest we wake up to "a mushroom cloud over an American city," The Wall Street Journal introduced an eminent voice to confirm that, yes, Saddam was driving straight for an atomic bomb.
