"The Retreat of the Empire" - Pat Buchanan
Several good points, including:

"When Baghdad fell, Gen. John Abizaid estimated the number of enemy insurgents at about 5,000. After a year in which thousands of the enemy have been killed or captured, estimates of the number of insurgents have been raised to 20,000. Rumsfeld’s query has been answered: we are creating more enemies than we are killing."

2. Remember, Democracy and Freedom always create chaos.
Another gem from the intrepid Minister of War.

3. Buchanan - Bush Schism?
It almost sounds like Pat might be voting for Kerry.

4. Nope...
He has said that he is not voting for Kerry, BUT he is also *probably* not voting for Bush. Says he may vote for the Constitution Party candidate.
