But be careful though, Funked. When pinko commie socialist tree-hugging hippies like me (phhht) agree with something, that 'something' must be wrong and swiftly attacked. Sorta like when a Goldwater era Republican (of all things!) says something that these modern-day GOP whippersnappers don't like - it's off with his head.
But I know you can handle yourself - not worried about that. And you make a great point:
Has there in fact been any discussion here at all about Buchanan's thoughts in the post that Sandman made?
Goose egg. There's probably a reason for that, and you've no doubt nailed why.
Maybe it was the way the article was written, or the Matthew character in the interview part. It's pretty obvious they're both working with hearsay, far as statements they make. Has Buchanen offered any insightful knowledge here where he's justified saying what he does?
Let's take Matthew saying something like "the war was supposed to be a cakewalk." Now com...mon!!! I don't remember hearing anything like that the whole time this war has been going on.
Anyway, from reading something like that, it just makes the rest of the article nonsense, or at least non-objective. Neocons? Is this mainstream language?
Does a disservice to Buchanan being in a news article like that. Wouldn't be surprised if he's upset. Does him more harm than good, in my opinion. Though I don't keep up with Buchanan's thoughts, it's the way the article is presented that I don't like, and by association...yes it does give the appearance or impression to me that Buchanan's words in the article are more finger pointing than substance. Guess that's politics, or journalism or what have you. Darn near conpiratorial sounding. Because of that, I disagree Buchanan is spot on.
