Does anybody know where to find a clip of Pat Buchanan on Morning Joe's show this morning? A liberal relative of mine told me that Buchanan came out in support of Obama's actions in Libya this morning. I find that hard to believe, so I'd like to watch the clip for myself.

msnbc.com has video of pretty much every show segment they air. Go to msnbc.com and click "msnbc tv" in the upper right hand corner, that will bring you to the videos page.

Back in January on Morning Joe he graded Obama's foreign policy a B+
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?276165-Buchanan-rates-Obama-foreign-policy-a-B
and his complaint from the previous year was about Obama taking too long to make up his mind about the Afghan surge. So sadly at this point I'm not surprised to hear him support Obama in Libya (if true). Buchanan usually talks a great game on foreign policy but seems to still cling to his old beliefs (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?273848-Pat-Buchannan-on-Morton-Downey-Jr.-Show-in-1988-%28youtube%29) to some degree

I read a column recently where he called it a foolish and unconstitutional war. I doubt he was supporting Obama but rather arguing that Gaddafi must go if you are going to intervene.

Here is the video. He basically made a comment laying out the reasons why Obama decided to go into Libya, and he called it an "honest" move. I still don't interpret it as Pat actually endorsing the intervention in Libya.

Yeah, that's classic Pat. He's just referring to the nature of the way Obama promoted his agenda there. AKA Obama straight up said we don't have the authority to go in, but he's going in anyway because he thinks that particular bombing will be humanitarian. The other option to compare it to would be to make up a lie to give us the feeling that Lybia was an imminent threat to our national security. Then, consulting congress and asking for a resolution of force. Between the two options, I feel Obama's is even more dangerous, honest or not.
