Buchanan: 'President McCain' Would Launch Iran War
Conservative Pat Buchanan during an on-air interview said that a war with Iran would be in the near future should Republican candidate Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) be elected president in 2008. The comment came during an interview with MSNBC's Joe Scarborough about a recent comment McCain made saying more wars were inevitable.

"You get John McCain in the White House, and I do believe we will be at war with Iran," Buchanan said.

The comment was based on McCain's statements made Sunday to a crowd of supporters. "There's going to be other wars," the Huffington Post quoted McCain. "I'm sorry to tell you, there's going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars."

"That's one of the things that makes me very nervous about him," Buchanan said. "There's no doubt John McCain going to be a war president... his whole career is wrapped up in the military, national security."

"He's in Putin's face, he's threatening the Iranians, we're going to be in Iraq a hundred years," Buchanan added.

Elaborating that McCain's statements only meant that he was expecting more wars and not starting them, Buchanan described McCain as "talking sraight" and, based on his foreign policy, "he's in everybody's face."
Buchanan says that like it's a bad thing. But then again, Pat is probably still unhappy that the US involved itself in that silly war in '41. "Isolationism would have been so much better."
I'm sure Pat could get 0.2% of the vote (20% in West Palm Beach and Broward Counties) if he were to run again.
