[Peace-discuss] Buchanan on our side

[Morton K.Brussel]

My 2¢:

Will Buchanan campaign against Bush, Cheney et al? Or is he simply 
trying to show that he is "pro-troops"? Is he incensed at what has been 
done to Iraq? Etc.; it's hard (for me) to figure out where he's coming 
from. I therefore think Joe's cautious reflection is on the mark. The 
enemy of your enemy may not be your friend.

On the other hand, any attack on the Bush policies which can enlighten 
the American public and alienate it from the administration is to be 
welcomed.  So I can smile with Carl on this.
