Here's an interesting OP-Ed piece from Pat Buchanan of all people, in December 2004. He didn't much care for stay the course, either. <a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/buchanan/buchanan18.html" target="_blank">http://www.lewrockwell.com/buc hanan/buchanan18.html</a>

I will check in once in a while to take the usual suspects to the woodshed!
