When are we going to notice that the neocons don\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about? They\u2019re not looking at this country\u2019s long term interest. They\u2019re bound up in regional and global ideology and they have had no experience, I\u2019ll say it again, in even a schoolyard fight. They don\u2019t know what physical fighting is all about. They went to school and were intellectuals but they want our government to be their big brother. I don\u2019t get it. I don\u2019t know why we keep falling for it. And the President, you say, is he free of these guys or not?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"display: inline\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"display: inline\"><span style=\"display: inline\" id=\"vidDescRemain\">BUCHANAN: Well, the President, he fell for it after 9\/11 when they put that little pre-cooked meal in front of him, after they knocked down Afghanistan. And so they said, &#8220;Let\u2019s do Iraq now.&#8221; And Wolfowitz and all the rest of them. But let me say this, Chris. I think the president realizes now that we went into Iraq to pursue weapons that did not exist, a country that did not attack us, did not threaten us, and now we have created a great base camp for terrorism in the Anbar province that did not exist. In response to Mr Shrum, you attack Iran, Hezbollah will retaliate against the 25,000 Americans in Lebanon. You will have massive hostage taking and killings. Are these people nuts? You\u2019ve got to ask yourself. I certainly hope the president is not listening to them because I really question whether they\u2019ve got America\u2019s national interest at heart. They\u2019re calling for wars against people that never attacked us. I don\u2019t care how bad they are. There are wicked people all over this world but you don\u2019t go after people unless they come after you.
