Buchanan tangle with Hannity over Iran.

[Dondilion]

It is pretty rare on Fox to get a strong opposing view on Iran. This occurred despite Hannity's attempt to interrupt and over ride.

Buchannan has always been pretty clear-headed about Iraq and it seems that he's on target regarding Iran too. I think he's right about Netanyahu too but his infamous anti-Semitism makes it difficult to credit his views as a whole.

You are right.

"What about Iran's ambitions to "build a huge power for themselves in the region," Hannity asked.
"Sean, the reason Iran's going to be a power in the Gulf is because your president, George W. Bush, invaded Iraq and turned it into a (satellite) of Iran...The reason we're in this position is because Saddam Hussein, a thug, was overthrown. His state was destroyed. His army was broken up. Elections were held by Bush -- democracy crusades...and the Shia won. And we lost Iraq!"
"You believe that we can make a deal with the Iranians. You believe peace with the Iranians in our time! Is that what you're saying?" Hannity asked.
"No, I'm not scared of Iran, for God's sakes. They don't have an atomic bomb."
"Now you sound like Obama! Iran is a tiny country. They're not a threat. You believe that?" Hannity asked.
"Bibi's sitting on 200 atom bombs and he's fretting over Iran, which hasn't even produced weapons-grade uranium," Buchanan replied.
"And this is going to create...an arms race that the likes of which the world has never seen," Hannity responded.
"Oh, cut it out, Sean...The United States could finish off Iran in an afternoon. What are you frightened of, Sean?"
"Just like we finished off North Korea in an afternoon, right, Pat? I think you're dreaming."
"I think you're hysterical, Sean."


Sean, hysterical? Say it ain't so...

However, much to the chagrin of the Old Guard, they have become the party.

Yes, and they're not so much an opposition party as they are an insurgency, even against the saner voices in their own party..... even against some of the crazies if they don't adhere to established orthodoxy.

Suddenly Mike Pence.... Mike Pence! is a "RINO" because he caved on the Indiana RFRA.

I agree with that.

There isn't a lot of the old guard left.

The crazies far outnumber them.

Buchanan sounds sensible on this.

Hard to believe this is coming from a Republican.

It's like watching some low budget 'end times' zombie sci fi flick

It would be funny to watch if the country wasn't awash in guns.
