Buchanan Accepts White House Anti Israel Policies, Ignores Muslim Nations Whose Goal Is To Destroy Israel




The difference between, Eisenhower, Truman and the current White House is that both Ike and Harry did not support the Muslim campaign to destroy Israel. Buchanan omits that element from his discussion, which makes his conclusion specious. 

Here's an update. Russia and China are lobbying Congress to support Iran agreement.

[From article]
The day the deal was signed, using what The Washington Post calls “stark apocalyptic language,” Bibi accused John Kerry of giving the mullahs a “sure path to a nuclear weapon” and a “cash bonanza of hundreds of billions of dollars … to pursue its aggression and terror.”
Bibi has since inspired and led the campaign to get Congress to kill the deal, the altarpiece of the Obama presidency.



Israel Ambassador Ron Dermer, a former Republican operative now cast in the role of “Citizen Genet,” has intensively lobbied the Hill to get Congress to pass a resolution of rejection.
If that resolution passes, as it appears it will, Obama will veto it.
Then Israel, the Israeli lobby AIPAC, and all its allies and auxiliaries in the think tanks and on op-ed pages will conduct a full-court press to have Congress override the Obama veto and kill his nuclear deal.
Has Bibi, have the Israelis, considered what would happen should they succeed? Certainly, there would be rejoicing in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and Bibi would be crowned King of Capitol Hill.



But they will have humiliated an American president by crushing him by two-to-one in his own legislature. Such a defeat could break the Obama presidency and force the resignation of John Kerry, who would have become a laughing stock in international forums.
[. . .]
Kerry warned that if Congress rejects the deal, “Israel could end up being more isolated and more blamed.”

Two Views of Iran Nuclear Deal, Pat Buchanan and Melanie Sturm




Sturm's analysis makes more sense. Buchanan ignores the long term antipathy of Iran toward the United States since the overthrow of the Shah in 1979. He focuses on economics rather than national security. He equates China and Russia who were, and are, large established nations with a lot to lose, with Iran which supports terror networks throughout the world. Iran is a theocracy unlike China and Russia.

[From article]
Causing the collective eyes of the political class to roll, Trump and Sanders resonate with a pablum-fed electorate starving for authentic debate, policies aligned with citizens’ concerns and leaders who say what they mean and mean what they say.
Witness the deceptions being used to normalize the mortal threat posed by Tuesday’s nuclear deal with Iran’s genocidal Ayatollahs. They’ve sponsored a slow-motion jihad against America ever since revolutionaries seized our embassy and hostages in 1979, asserting their constitution’s commitment to “universal holy government and the downfall of all others.”
[. . .]
The truth is, every president since Carter has failed to deploy these powers to oppose Iranian hostility, allowing committed revolutionaries and skilled diplomats to out-flank and out-negotiate the mightiest nation on Earth.
Iran doesn’t control all terrorists, but it’s the head of an Islamic supremacist snake seeking to subjugate humanity and destroy freedom. Responsible for killing and maiming thousands of Americans, and posing threats we’ve neither anticipated nor mitigated, their unanswered aggression has stimulated more aggression.

Sturm: The Iran deal: Normalizing a mortal threat

* * *

[From article]
For even if Congress votes to deny Obama authority to lift U.S. sanctions on Iran, the U.S. will vote to lift sanctions in the U.N. Security Council. And Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China, all parties to the deal, will also lift sanctions.
[. . .]
Would we bomb Iran? Would we go to war? Not only would Americans divide on any such action, the world would unite — against us.
[How does Buchanan know this?]
[. . .]
“Either the issue of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapons is resolved diplomatically through negotiation or it’s resolved through force,” said the president, “Those are the options.”
[. . .]
Our principal enemies are now al-Qaida and ISIS. And while both have been aided by our old allies, Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, both are being resisted by Iran.
[Oh? is it only ISIS and al Qaeda who openly demand, "Death to America!"?]
[. . .]
Remarkable. Iran agrees not to build a bomb it had already decided not to build, and we agree to lift all sanctions. And they pulled it off.
What is one or two atom bombs you can’t use, without committing national suicide, compared to $100 billion in freed assets and a welcome mat back to the community of nations.
[Has Buchanan become a lobbyist for Iran? Or for John Kerry?]

Bedbugs on Campus

Bedbugs on Campus

In his new book, Patrick Buchanan says, "Bedbugs have invaded the United States for the first time in 50 years, with 28 states reporting recent infestations." (State of Emergency, Thomas Dunne Books, New York, 2006, Page 29, quoting Phyllis Schlafly, "American Citizenship Is Precious," Phyllis Schlafly Report (November 2005), p.4) He suggests that bedbugs are one of many diseases that arrive with illegal immigrants.

‘Unwelcome Visitors’ Join Students In Bed More bedbugs to creep onto college campuses, expert warns Published On 9/25/2006 1:55:01 AM
Harvard Crimson
By CHRISTIAN B. FLOW Contributing Writer

Long relegated to the realm of childhood fears and playful parental goodnights, the bedbug has of late made a comeback. “There’s no doubt that bedbugs have become resurgent and spread considerably,” wrote entomologist and Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researcher Richard J. Pollack, a noted expert on bedbugs and lice, in an e-mail. The upturn in bedbugs has been particularly magnified in the Boston area, and researchers, pest-control outfits, and news outlets nationwide have been taking note.
In 2003, infestation in Allston-Brighton—together with other reported cases in and around Boston—provided much of the narrative substance for an ABC News report about an increase in bedbug populations up and down the east coast. More recently, regional managers from Terminix, an international pest-control operation with branches in 45 states, said that the Boston area now produces more than three times the bedbug infestations reported in the previous year.
College campuses in Boston are particularly subject to risk factors because they are highly-frequented areas, says a spokesman for Terminix. “Any area that is a high traffic area—hotels, airplanes, cruise ships, dormitories—any area that has a high turnover in occupancy, that’s where you see problems,” Clint Briscoe, the spokesman, said.
“Because there are so many people and so many belongings passing through these areas, there is a much higher likelihood that bedbugs will be brought in.” While the bedbug—known by scientists as Cimex lectularius—is not charged with the transmission of any diseases, it is hardly a polite guest. Victims of bedbug bites have reported symptoms ranging from the relatively pedestrian (itchy, red spots) to the far more frightening (sickly sweet odors, sheets speckled with blood in the morning).
And while finding and killing the culprits can be difficult, keeping them down can be even worse. “Bedbugs are very resilient,” Briscoe said. “They can survive extreme temperatures, they can go months without eating. They’re pretty hardy pests.” If students aren’t concerned about the crawling, the itching, or the blood-letting, then it is the bugs’ fortitude for travel that should give them pause. Nothing riles a parent more than when college-age offspring bring unwanted guests home in their suitcases.
“Most parents would probably prefer if the laundry (collecting on the floor for weeks or more) gets appropriately washed/dried before the trip home,” Pollack wrote. “I’ve fielded many questions from distraught parents (some of Harvard students) who seem to have acquired bed bugs in this manner.” http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=514446
