Buchanan: McCain is ‘Bush on steroids.’

On Hardball yesterday, guests Stephen A. Smith and Pat Buchanan discussed the foreign policy impact of electing either Rudy Giuliani or John McCain. Buchanan cautioned that McCain will have a neoconservative attitude:

He’s very bellicose. He’s got that very in-your-face attitude Bush does. I think we could very well be at war with Iran. That’s one of the reasons I’ve always been skeptical of McCain. I think he’s Bush on steroids.

Commenting on Giuliani, Smith said, “If he becomes the next President of the United States, that would be an absolute disaster. … There would no foreign relations whatsoever.” Buchanan added that Rudy’s foreign policy is actually “Norman Podhoretz’s foreign policy.”
