Pat Buchanan has a biting op-ed in today's Washington Times, in which he assails CAFTA, NAFTA, and the Bush Administration. I am beginning to dig Buchanan, because he is one of the only analysts out there who is willing to break ranks outside of the Bush/Rove/Norquist power circle and tell it like it is. Referring to NAFTA's failures, Buchanan writes:

"As for Mexico's major exports to us, they appear to be two: narcotics and Mexicans."

I never understood the Republicans' support of NAFTA over a decade ago, and I find their apparent support of CAFTA to be even more surprising. And sad.
