The enemy of my enemy is, well, I don't really want him as a friend

Pat Buchanan, who won the West Palm Beach Jewish vote in 2000, takes on the neo-cons. Yeah, I know it's Drudge, but it's a slow news day.

Anyway:

In this week's AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE, editor Pat Buchanan issues a controversial, 5000-word indictment of the 'War Party' of Bennett, Kristol, Podhoretz and Richard Perle.

The magazine will hit newsstands and bookstores tomorrow. With quotes and citations, Buchanan alleges:

'War Party' ideas and plans for an attack on Iraq had been 'in preparation far in advance of 9/11, and when President Bush was looking for a new front,' the neocons 'put their precooked meal in front of him. And Bush dug into it.'

Richard Perle wrote a paper urging Israeli PM Netanyahu to dump the Oslo Peace Accords and target Iraq -- five years before 9/11.

Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith urged Israel to ditch the Oslo and take back the West Bank though 'the price in blood would be high,' three years before the Camp David talks.

Pentagon official David Wurmser urged the U.S. to act in concert with Israel to 'strike fatally...the regimes of Damascus, Baghdad, Tripoli, Tehran and Gaza' -- nine months before 9/11.

Cool. I love the smell of Republican internecine warfare in the morning.....
