After watching the video below, it is difficult not to believe
Pat Buchanan is working for the neocons, or at least shilling
for them.
Of course, he wants us to believe he is adamantly opposed to
an attack against Iran, and yet he argues from the neocon standpoint—the
mullahs and Ahmadinejad are the problem—and essentially
embraces, in circuitous fashion, their endgame, making plentiful
reference to Iran’s nukes, a fanciful fiction at best.
Buchanan knows full well Iran, under the NPT, has a right to
enrich uranium, and yet he comes off in this video sounding like
a neocon, telling us Iran “has to step back and suspend
uranium enrichment,” thus enhancing the neocon line that
an Iran enriching uranium for domestic energy is an Iran than
will nuke Israel.
I never trusted Pat Buchanan, a former Nixon speechwriter and
White House Communications Director for the Reagan administration
(recall Pat’s assertion, “I’m a contra too,”
that is to say he supported killing 30,000 Nicaraguans).
In 2004, Pat voted for Bush, although he claimed to be an adversary
of the neocons.
On the one hand, Buchanan refers to Capitol Hill as “Israeli-occupied
territory,” while on the other he declares the United States
has a “moral commitment” to recognize Israel’s
right to “defend itself,” in other words continue
its policies against the Palestinians and Arabs and Muslims in
the neighborhood.
Come on, Pat. You can’t have it both ways.
Indeed, as Buchanan tells us, the neocons carry “with them
the viruses of statism and globalism,” but then Pat worked
for Reagan, a statist and globalist parading as a conservative.
In other words, Pat Buchanan, who is nothing if not a consummate
insider (and a member of the Masonic and monarchial Knights of
Malta), cannot be trusted to oppose the neocons.
In the following video, taped on January 26, it sure sounds as
if Pat Buchanan accepts an Iran attack as an inevitability, as
do a lot of neolibs and neocons, who are now flooding the corporate
media with the same sort of nonsense they unleashed in the lead-up
to the March, 2003, invasion of Iraq. Pat appears to be playing
the foil, that is to say he is enhancing by way of contrast.
