Their War, Not Ours
Tuesday - April 30, 2013 at 1:26 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan "The worst mistake of my presidency," said Ronald Reagan of his decision to put Marines into the middle of Lebanon's civil war, where 241 died in a suicide bombing of their barracks.

Is Hagel out of the Mainstream?
Friday - January 11, 2013 at 1:09 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan "Chuck Hagel is out of the mainstream of thinking ... on most issues regarding foreign policy," says GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham. Neocon William Kristol concurs: Hagel is "out on the fringes." But where, exactly, is the mainstream on foreign policy in 2013? Since the Bush II years, "the three amigos" -- Sens. Graham, John McCain and Joe Lieberman -- have clamored for Continue reading...
