Pat Buchanan: US Should Not Take Military Action in Iraq
Monday, 16 Jun 2014 11:47 AM By Melissa Clyne The United States should "wait until the dust settles" before taking any military action in Iraq, political commentator Pat Buchanan said Monday on Newsmax TV’s "America’s Forum." A former adviser to Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Reagan, Buchanan reminded viewers that he opposed American intervention in Iraq in 2003 and opposes it now. If Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his 900,000-man army can’t defend their capital from ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) insurgents, according to Buchanan, then the United States "ought not to go in and do it for them."
