Buchanan sheds light on McCain

Although I seldom agree with Patrick Buchanan, I read his column because unlike others, he frequently provides some very revealing and important facts, such as in Sunday, Aug. 24 Quad-City Times (“Neocons line up in McCain’s ranks”).
Case in point: I could not understand why Sen. John McCain was suddenly such a supporter of Georgia and willing to send our military to die in support of Georgian dictator, Saakashvilli. It hasn’t been that long ago the people of Georgia were protesting his stealing the election there.
The two breakaway Georgian provinces are Russian-speaking provinces. Saakashvilli promised not to use force in resolving the dispute with the breakaways and then promptly attacked South Ossetia. The Russians moved in and I can’t say I blame them.
Then President Bush goes spastic and Sen. McCain chimes in, “We are all Georgians.” Well, I am not, please keep me out of it. This doesn’t make sense.
After reading Buchanan’s column and finding out a paid foreign agent, Randy Scheuneman, is McCain’s principal foreign policy advisor, things start to make sense.
Buchanan wrote: “Not only did Scheuneman’s two-man lobbying firm receive $730,000 since 2001 to get Georgia a NATO war guarantee, he was paid by Romania and Latvia to do the same.” Thank you, Buchanan. You are a patriot, Randy Scheuneman is not. As for Sen. McCain’s vaunted foreign policy credentials, better rethink that.
McCain would be better off listening to Patrick Buchanan.
