Pat Buchanan Says Obama’s Libya Policy Ruled by Emotions Of His Female Advisers

video
» 63 comments

Maureen Dowd‘s column yesterday suggested that the primary influencers on Obama’s decision to involve the U.S. military in Libya were primarily the senior female advisers (namely Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice and National Security Adviser Samantha Power.) This spawned an interesting discussion on Morning Joe today, which lead conservative pundit Pat Buchanan to suggest that women in the administration were making an emotional argument in their advice to get the U.S. involved. Hoo boy!

    Ian’t what I said earlier (without restricting it to females). There is no reason to be in Libya, other than guilt felt from standing by during the Genocide in Rwanda, Bosnia and during the Halocauset.

    Oh…Pat. He does such a good job as the MSNBC token conservative.

    Host: And now for the conservative perspective, Former Failed Presidential Candidate and Advisor to the Worst President Ever, Pat Buchanan.

    Pat: It’s those gull-durned wimmins!

    Host: Thanks Pat.

    You’re lying, WrLter. Our President was not on vacation. He was on an executive summit meeting, and he stopped to pay well deserved homage to the Salvadoran martyr and hero, Archbishop Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez . Your flippancy denigrates a great man.

    Pat Buchanan is the least coherent conservative pundit in the land. And that is exactly why MSNBC features him in those (rare) occasions when they need a conservative voice. This network will never give an articulate, intelligent conservative air time, but they play a sick cat-and-mouse game with an old man who was never a good spokesman for conservatism, and is just manipulated by Phil Griffin & Co. nowadays.

    Hey, MSNBC, if you want to build your audience, have Rachel or Larry bring on Chris Christie or Eric Cantor of Marco Rubbio, and then get into a real debate on the virtues of bloated government and bankrupt entitlements.

    he’s like juan williams on fox or geraldo rivera. Except you ever notice how williams is really more of a moderate voice in the discussion rather than a liberal one? I mean really they’ve only classified him as a liberal because he once worked at npr.

    Yeah, god forbid the President of a country that supposedly stands for equality consider the suggestions made by women on the same level as suggestions made by men.

  • remoriah

    Pat Buchanan is more appropriately described as an old time Republican….one that was anti-war when the Dems were more prone to getting us into wars. That was cured by Vietnam. To address “Nationman” at least Pat is consistent in opinions regarding Obama’s wars vs. Bush’s wars. He has not altered his position just because Mr. Obama is in office. The Morning Joe group is much more palpable than other nasty cable hosts on both MSNBC and Fox but Norah is not that smart. She doesn’t add anything to the mix.

  • TeaPartyPatriot

    The “Coalition of the Unwilling” (aka, the “Keystone Kops Against Gadhafi”) reflect the total cluelessness and incompetence of our Community Organizer in Chief, “You Lie!” hussein. This bumbling mess is just like the bailouts to his crony capitalists, his out-of-control spending, his obozocare, his opposition to reducing the massive deficit and debt he created, and the many, many other massive FAILURES of hussein, the WORST PRESIDENT OF MODERN AMERICA.

    November 2012 can’t come soon enough so we can TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY from this pathetic, inept buffoon.

    Yes because Pat Buchannan hasn’t had his views & ideas rejected from Republicans for the past 20 years. Take a look all all those Presidential runs that ended real early for Pat to see what Republicans thought about him.

    No matter what Leftists say in Obamo’s defense, he’s still getting his limp-wristed ass kicked by everyone. The joy comes from knowing that his little followers here and elsewhere can do nothing to stop it. A car crash they are forced to watch.

    Hey Pat, you are a good guy. Next time any of those extreme, left wing wackos on PMSnbc say anything to you just reach across the table and slap the crap out of them. Especially the Village Idiot Chris ‘Tingles’ Matthews. If it happens to be Mika pay her no mind because nobody on the planet pays that airhead any mind. Hell Pat, turn in your resigination to NOcount PMSnbc and go across the street to FOX News and Roger will hire you in a heartbeat. LSDnbc ain’t going to be around much longer. Comcast is in the money making business and PMSnbc ain’t making any with the wackos they have on the air.

    The female advisors putting forth strong input on Libya became evident as shown by the media right in the beginning of this mission. Even Late Night talk was on it. The thought that a non military individual persuaded anyone in the administration to put a flyer in harms way is disturbing. I would say and this is just a supposition,that sending America and any personnel into war no matter what the circumstances should be determined by the military and possibly input from the intelligence services. Historically, the President himself is briefed and later can stand in the Rose Garden and take the credit. That is the way we do it. These are decisions that may be life threatening for all. There are no brownie points involved.

  • Scrapette Jones

    Other than using this as an excuse to exhibit knee-jerk PCness and to ridicule Pat Buchanan “just because”, I really do not see what the scandal is here. Buchanan’s observation was not his original thought, he was only repeating what one of the Sunday talk show topics was. Many of the comments here seem to accuse Buchanan of being sexist, which if he is, it is very mild, and like I said, the accused should be those on the Sunday shows (except most of them were reporters who had gotten their facts from the women on Team Obama themselves).

    As for me, as soon as Obama announced what we were doing, I blamed it all on Bill Clinton. He’s like Kevin Bacon in this whole thing, only connected by fewer degrees of separation. The consensus of these warrior women stems directly from Bill’s remorse about not doing anything in Rwanda. Case closed.

    Could we please not bring sexism and ageism into this? Not applicable.

  • http://www.dandyid.org/id/okami okami

    reverse sexism. . .really classy, Pat. just accuse the President of being effeminate, and tell the people that the women have the real power. . .yeah, that’s what happens when white male heterosexuals aren’t in charge. . .
