They wouldn't need to violate Azerbaijani airspace; Armenian airspace would be adequate to the task of bombing Iran from Georgia. And as I understand it, Russia is thought to be siding with Azerbaijan in the soon-to-be Second War for Nagorno-Karabahk, hence an Armenian decision to join Georgia within the Anglo-American-Zionist Axis doesn't seem all that far-fetched (although perhaps won't occur now, in light of events in South Ossetia and Abkhazia).

I know what you mean, but in fairness to Mr. Buchanan, I do recall at least one election where he didn't back the GOP ie., 2000. He may even have spoiled the election for Bush/Cheney in as many as four states ie., Wisconsin, Iowa, New Mexico, and Oregon. Never-the-less, I think he made the right choice in 2000 (albeit probably four years later than he should have), and should have stuck with that choice by endorsing Michael Peroutka in 2004, and Chuck Baldwin this year, alas. Nobody's perfect, but Pat does deserve some credit for having resisted GOP mania, albeit not as much as he should have done.

Oh, and apparently some you people didn't get the memo about the U.S. military: Sometime shortly after St. Patrick's Day of 2003, there ceased to be any rational basis for a morally upstanding and patriotic American to have anything to do with that factory of globalist tyranny, war criminality and treason. There are, never-the-less, many good men & women in the U.S. military, yet until it stops acting as Redcoats on behalf of the international petroleum industry and the Likud Party, and engaging in the systematic torture, sexual abuse, rape, and even outright murder of generally innocent prisoners often taken in random street sweeps, all such good men & women associated with the U.S. military should end their involvement with it ASAP. I'd like to be able to revere the U.S. military, but it has become something that I am forced to loathe.

Considering that the article you refer to dates to 2005, there should be studies that have come in from other countries, but alas, not so.

As for WaPo being a zionist rag that denigrates its host nation, I'll stand pet thank you very much. Anyone who seeks "enlightenment" from fish wrappers -- or even TV for that matter -- needs to be on Xanax or possibly Thorazine.

And accusing me of both ignorance and insanity is sophomoric on your part in that you've cast the first epithet.

There's a group on a Catholic blog which is praying for the return of Mrs. Palin to the Faith. Well, why not, it worked for Clarence Thomas! I will join in their intentions.

I have been intending to write in Ron Paul for prez. Kearney Smith, you raise some excellent points. Obama sounds good when he speaks but some of his associates....well! And his abortion views are what give me pause considering some of the Justices on the Supreme Court are pretty old. Not that just putting the right Justices up there is going to get rid of abortion and some of the Reagan-Bush I Justices have been a sore disappointment. But Obama justices are bound to be and also there's a lot of other mischief they can do with other Constitutional questions. So I fear a vote for 3rd Party or write in when I used to be a pretty reliable Republican vote, is the same as a vote for Obama. I guess it depends on how your state is going. If you live in a reliably blue state, write in anyone you wish as a protest. If it's reliably red, same thing. If it's close and in play like the state I live in, better think twice, which the husband and I are doing. And pray for guidance. Funny how we always think of that last!

If powerless neocon twerps were able to take over the Republican Party without a shot, what's to stop us from taking it back for ourselves? I don't dismiss Democrats like Bob Conley or third-party candidates like Bob Barr, but I think Buchanan, Ron Paul, etc. are on to something by staying with the Republicans. We should never endorse the nuts, but let's mess up the works until the party can't win without us! Call it an insurgency.

Certainly larger issues are at stake and, like it or not, the next president will be dealing with other issues not really related to Palin's family problems. And I would add, the next president will nominate probably two Supreme Court Justices, and I'm reasonably sure that the people on Chronicles will not like Obama's appointees. Moreover, Obama's spiritual advisor---God-Damn-America Wright probably knows more about Obama's real intentions for the United States than most voters of either party. So in light of these realities Buchanan is wise to identify with the GOP.

Bush is wrong to expand the Iraq adventure which has already solidified Jihad against us Infidels. But using Kant's measure for blame, I would say Bush willed good but did not produce just good things with the invasion of Iraq. I think McCain-- with whatever warts or other imperfections he may have---is the only reasonable choice at this time. He, better than most people, knows first-hand the horrors of war and will be wiser in dealing with our real enemy (not terror but the unremorseful perpetrators of heinous acts against people---civilians, women and children.). The differences we have with Russia pale by comparison with the differences we have with the real enemy. The tools against our major enemy cannot be fought even largely with our military. It will be a long struggle that must begin with an accurate assessment of what we face and a new strategy for saving ourselves.

I was impressed by the clever skewering of Obama by both of these. I thought Giuliani might make a good stand-up comic. I would certainly never have voted for him for president. As a Catholic I would never vote for a pro-abortion candidate (especially a "Catholic" one). As for Palin, I don't know that much about her yet, but am not happy to hear that she is an apostate.
I am glad, though, to see her stand up against that Marxist Obama and his powerful friends. Anyone in her position who can successfully put down the MSM in front of 40 million viewers has got my attention.
