Even though I don't agree with him on any social issues, it seems like Patrick Buchanan is one of the last true conservatives left with a working brain. I respect him, in a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of way." Check out some of these scathing quotes from his new book to be released in September, possibly a devastating blow for Bush and the Neocons:
“It is false to say President Bush presided over a ‘jobless recovery.’ His trade deficits have created many millions of jobs in China.”
“The Beltway Right has entered into a civil union with Big Brother.”
"The Bush National Security Strategy “is the imperial edict of a superpower out to exploit its present supremacy to make itself permanent Lord Protector of the universe.”
“This is democratic imperialism. This will bleed, bankrupt and isolate this republic. This overthrows the wisdom of the Founding Fathers about what America should be all about.”
"“Listening to the neoconservatives, Bush invaded Iraq, united the Arab world against us, isolated us from Europe, and fulfilled to the letter bin Laden’s prophecy as to what we were about. We won the war in three weeks -- and we may have lost the Islamic world for a generation."
"“If Iraq collapses in chaos and civil war, there will be a ferocious fight in this country over who misled us and who may have lied us, into war....into the dock will go the neoconservatives whose class project this was...”
"“Terrorism is the price of empire. If we do not wish to pay it, we must give up the empire.”
"“U.S. dominance of the Middle East is not the corrective to terror. It is a cause of terror. Were we not over there, the 9/11 terrorists would not have been over here.”
