The Quagmire Promoters refuse to quit the GOP
What will happen to the neocons who wiretapped Americans BEFORE 9-11 and insisted on wars with Iraq and Iran? They remain heaviily involved in the campaigns of leading Republican candidates:
“I would say, as a card-carrying member of the neoconservative conspiracy,” said William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, “that I think Giuliani, McCain and Thompson are all getting really good advice — and Romney.” Mr. Kristol said that none of the leading Republican candidates “buy any of these fundamental criticisms that Bush took us on a radically wrong path, and we have to go to a pre-9/11 foreign policy.”
Perpetual war remains the plan. Iran’s invaded no other country in more than two centuries. Saddam had no means to attack our country. Instead of attacking the terror organizations that attacked us or their sponsors in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates, the neocons intend to attack any country they want, and they want us to trust them no matter how consistently they get things wrong.
And how many of their kids are fighting these wars? Where’s Osama? How much torture and rape will they approve this time?
It grows tiresome pointing out how they’ve multiplied terrorist forces, the destruction of Iraq and the sacrifices our troops have made. The GOP contenders don’t have any answers at all except more and more of the same. That’s not vision, that’s a self-destructive addiction.
