Pat Buchanan says the Israeli PM has been "crying wolf for decades" about Iran and that Netanyahu, with due respect, wants the United States to fight a war with Iran on Israel's behalf."
"Tell the IAEA to go in and either confirm or deny what Netanyahu said. Don't rely on him. Rely on our CIA coming out and saying, 'We were wrong, Netanyahu is right, they have a secret atomic bomb program and they're working on it right now and they have been and we were lied to.'"
"U.S. intelligence agencies in 2007, and again in 2011 said with high confidence that they have no evidence of a nuclear weapons program in Iran, subsequent to that, we had the deal."
He suggests: "If the CIA and DIA do that, I would say first to fire the guys in charge who didn't cover it. And second, maybe we should act, but certainly not act on second-hand documents and a press conference from Netanyahu."

Buchanan makes excellent points, especially about disregarding any 'intelligence' coming from Netanyahu. Israel's PM is not concerned about what's best for the USA, and has previously bragged about 9/11 and the Iraq War benefitting his country. He also believes the USA is easy to manipulate, stating on camera that "America is easily moved" when it comes to getting us to take his side.
