By Patrick J. Buchanan "Real men go to Tehran!" brayed the neoconservatives, after the success of their propaganda campaign to have America march on Baghdad and into an unnecessary war that has forfeited all the fruits of our Cold War victory. Now they are back, in pursuit of what has always been their great goal: an American war on Iran. It would be a mistake to believe they and their Continue reading...
Is Ehud’s Poodle Acting Up?
Saturday - January 17, 2009 at 11:45 am
by Patrick J. Buchanan As Israel entered the third week of its Gaza blitz, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert regaled a crowd in Ashkelon with an astonishing tale. He had, said Olmert, whistled up George Bush, interrupted him in the middle of a speech and told him to instruct Condi Rice not to vote for a U.N. resolution Condi herself had written. Bush did as told, said Olmert. The crowd loved it. Continue reading...

For Kim Jong-Il now has the ability to smuggle Continue reading...
Consult America Before Iran War
Tuesday - September 26, 2006 at 10:10 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan "To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war." So Winston Churchill is widely quoted. Those words, however, were spoken in 1954, decades after Churchill's voice had been the most bellicose for war in 1914 and 1939, the wars that bled and broke his beloved empire. Yet, Churchill's quote frames well the main question on the mind of Washington, D.C.: Will President Continue reading...
