By Patrick J. Buchanan Dick Cheney is giving the Republican Party a demonstration of how to fight a popular president. Stake out defensible high ground, do not surrender an inch, then go onto the attack. The ground on which Cheney has chosen to stand is the most defensible the Republicans have: homeland security. In seven-and-a-half years after 9-11, not one terrorist attack struck our Continue reading...

Did Bibi Box Obama In?
Thursday - May 21, 2009 at 11:39 pm
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. "This is a dictator who is ... feverishly trying to acquire nuclear weapons," wrote Bibi Netanyahu, Continue reading...

Obama Avoids the Crocodile
Thursday - May 14, 2009 at 11:46 pm
By Patrick J. Buchanan By reversing himself and refusing to release graphic photos of abused prisoners of war, Barack Obama has stunned liberals. They feel betrayed and abandoned by a president they put into office. On war and torture, at least, they thought Barack was one of them. He is not. Barack is not into ideology. He is into Barack. As he showed in 2008, when he threw his white Continue reading...

Why Europe Won’t Fight
Thursday - April 9, 2009 at 11:50 pm
By Patrick J. Buchanan "No one will say this publicly, but the true fact is we are all talking about our exit strategy from Afghanistan. We are getting out. It may take a couple of years, but we are all looking to get out." Thus did a "senior European diplomat" confide to The New York Times during Obama's trip to Strasbourg. Europe is bailing out on us. Afghanistan is to be America's Continue reading...

March Madness, 1939
Monday - April 6, 2009 at 11:13 pm
By Patrick J. Buchanan On Sept. 1, 1939, Hitler's panzers smashed into Poland. Two days later, an anguished Neville Chamberlain declared war, the most awful war in all of history. Was the war inevitable? No. No war is inevitable until it has begun. Was it a necessary war? Hearken to Churchill: "One day, President Roosevelt told me that he was asking publicly for suggestions about what the Continue reading...

Return of the War Party
Friday - February 27, 2009 at 12:30 am
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...

Obama and the Great Game
Friday - February 13, 2009 at 2:25 am
By Patrick J. Buchanan The day before Richard Holbrooke arrived in Kabul, eight suicide bombers and gunmen attacked the Justice and Education ministries, killing 26 and wounding 57. Kabul was paralyzed, as the Taliban displayed an ability to wreak havoc within a hundred yards of the presidential palace. The assault came as President Obama is both conducting a strategic review and deciding Continue reading...
