Watch Pat Buchanan School Hannity On Iran

Whatever you think of Pat Buchanan, he was spot on in this segment, smacking down right-wing fear mongering about Iran and nailing the Bush administration for empowering the country with its misbegotten invasion of Iraq.

...

BUCHANAN: Are we going to be frightened by words from some character in Iran? …Listen to the American head of intelligence. He says Iran does not have a bomb program as of 2013. Secondly, if they start building a bomb, we will know it. Third, Iran has made some concessions, they’re not enough, it makes them less able to get to a bomb…

…Your friend Bibi’s been talking about Iran getting a bomb since 1992. In 2006, he said they’ll be building 25 bombs by the end of the decade. Are they? No.

Wow, Buchanan surprised Hannity with his clear thinking analysis. I love it when he said your friend Pisces Apr 2015 #4
