Pat Buchanan On Churchill, Jews And The History Of Iran
PAT Buchanan, onetime US politico, Booby Charlton impersonator (c. 1978) and man who tries hard to look like he’s thinking is an authority on war.
Buchanan is promoting his latest tome Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War. As Sheryl Longin says: “According to Buchanan, the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2008 no more wants war with the west than Germany did in 1939.”
Buchanan:
“They [Iran] don’t want a war. They haven’t fought one since the revolution. I can’t think of the last time they did.”
A look on the internet, and:
Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980, triggering a bitter eight-year war which destabilised the region and devastated both countries.
Of course, Buchanan might have his own sources. Like him…

Don’t forget the bit where “After the CIA trained funded and installed Saddam Hussein in power and selling him lots of weapons, Saddam Hussein then ‘did his bit’ by invading Iran, triggering the longest conventional war in the 20th Century (8 years) in which Chemical weapons solkd to him by the west were deployed, condemned by all in the UN except the UK, USA, France (who sold the chemical weapons with US approval) and Israel.”
You couldn’t make it up (but they try).
