After the suicide bombing of the Marine barracks, Ronald Reagan made a cold-blooded decision. Concluding America had no vital interest in Lebanon, he cut his losses and withdrew the Marines.

It was a rare failure of Reagan foreign policy.

Neoconservatives condemn him for not sending an army back into Beirut to deliver street justice and show Islamic radicals that the American Superpower could not be assaulted with impunity.

Reagan's decision, say the neocons, convinced radicals that America lacked the courage and perseverance to be master of the Middle East. Clinton's pullout after the "Blackhawk Down!" firefight in Mogadishu, Somalia, they say, confirmed the radicals' perception.

Buchanan just can't help his whoredom slipping through.

His point is that Bush better start thinking about pulling out now. There is NOTHING to be gained by our GIs being killed every day, and that Americans will not tolerate even 2 years of this, let alone 10.
He may be Buchanan, but GOD I miss the old-time conservatives!

If McCain won't take on the pretender, maybe Pat will.

You can email him at the bottom of the article. Just tell him you'd like to see him run against the boy king. It sure couldn't hurt.

But I was a little disappointed with his attitude once it was underway. That whole "The troops deserve our support, must support the troops."

That's bullshit if you ask me, if you want to support them then get them home.

Reagan had a response for the terrorist. He invaded Granada and changed the subject. Textbook 'wag the dog' approach to his problems.

Bucky is a true conservative. There are still a few left, Broder, Will, etc. These people will criticize the current administration because the Bushies are anti-their own conservative philosophy.

All the AM hate mongers and others of their ilk are not conservatives but REPUBLICANS. They can never question a GOP administration.

Can't agree with much of these true conservatives but I do admire them (begrudgingly) but the others ... they have the integrity of Ari Fleischer.

"By now, all their columnists and house organs—Commentary, National Review, the New Republic, the Weekly Standard—are known. Their front groups—AEI, JINSA—have all been identified and bracketed. Their agents of influence—Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Libby, Bolton, Wurmser, Abrams, et alia—have all been outed. Neoconservatives are now seen as separate and apart from the Bush loyalists, with loyalties and an agenda all their own.

If Americans decide they were lied to, that the Iraqi war was not fought for America’s interests, that its propagandists harbored a hidden agenda—as they decided after World War I and exposure of the “merchants of death”—they will know exactly whom to blame and whom to hold accountable."
