QUOTE OF THE DAY
They know we own their country. We own their airspace... We dictate the way they live and talk. And that's what's great about America right now. It's a good thing, especially when there is a lot of oil out there we need.
- - Air Force Brigadier General William Looney (Director of Operations keeping Iraqi planes from flying south of the 32nd parallel).
RHINO HERE: For a number of reasons, I've made it a habit over the years to listen to and/or read political pundits who I usually disagree with. It helps me feel confident in knowing I'm not just knee jerking into my opinions, especially when I occasionally agree with them. Like my wife and daughters all hate it when I listen to Dr. Laura. I agree with them that she suffers from ignorance in many facets of life and then amplifies that stupidity across the country, and yet, I find myself agreeing with her about half the time.
I used to pay attention to what Arianna Huffington said even before she had her epiphany and leaned left, and I still listen to Rush (Big Fat Idiot) Limbaugh once in a while too, but him I can't remember ever agreeing with. I don't think he even believes himself, the phony showboat.
But now Pat Buchanan is no showboat. While being someone I vehemently disagree with an almost everything, I think he's someone who genuinely believes in what he says and does. So wasn't I taken aback when I read the article he wrote earlier this month and found myself agreeing with him, and thinking "This guy has so much insight and so much courage to tell it like it is about the shrub & co war mongers".
I had to wonder if there was another writer with the same name, but no, the bio read, "Patrick J. Buchanan was twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the Reform Party's candidate in 2000. Now a commentator and columnist, he served three presidents in the White House, was a founding panelist of three national television shows, and is the author of seven books." Nope, that's THE Pat Buchanan. Read and be amazed.

By Patrick J. Buchanan, Creators Syndicate, 9-13-02
The fires had not yet gone out at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, a year ago, before the War Party had introduced its revised plans for American empire. What many saw as a horrific atrocity and tragedy, they saw instantly as an opportunity to achieve U.S. hegemony over an alienated Islamic world.
President Bush initially directed America's righteous wrath and military power at al-Qaida. But in his "axis-of-evil" address, he signed on to the War Party's agenda. What lies ahead? When America invades Iraq, it will have to destroy Saddam and all his weapons of mass destruction. Else, the war will have been a failure. And to ensure destruction of those weapons, we must occupy Iraq. If you would see what follows, pull out a map.
With Americans controlling Iraq, Syria is virtually surrounded by hostile powers: Israel on the Golan, Turks and Kurds to the north, U.S. power to the west in Iraq and south in Jordan. Syrian President Assad will be forced to pull his army out of Lebanon, leaving Israel free to reinvade Lebanon to settle accounts with Hezbollah.
Now look to Iran. With Americans occupying Iraq, Iran is completely surrounded: Americans and Turks to the west, U.S. power in the Gulf and Arabian Sea to the south, in Afghanistan to the east and in the old Soviet republics to the north. U.S. warplanes will be positioned to interdict any flights to Lebanon to support Hezbollah.
Iraq is the key to the Middle East. As long as we occupy Iraq, we are the hegemonic power in the region. And after we occupy it, a window of opportunity will open to attack Syria and Iran before they acquire weapons of mass destruction.
This is the vision that enthralls the War Party - "World War IV," as they call it - a series of "cakewalks," short sharp wars on Iraq, Syria and Iran to eliminate the Islamic terrorist threat to us and Israel for generations...
