So we have come full circle in this farce that is the Republican primary. From those preferred by the tea part faithful who have all burned so bright yet haven fallen at an even faster rate we have the rise of the Neoconservatives once more.
Those same neocons that brought you the Afghan Adventure, the Iraq Imbroglio and that greatest of hits "bomb bomb Iran" have their star coming to the fore. Can we really have forgotten Cheney?
Newt Gingrich's foreign policy team is the stuff of which nightmares are made
Newt's team, which has been working together informally for months, is led by Herman Pirchner, the founding president of a small, conservative think tank in Washington called the American Foreign Policy Council (AFPC). Also on Team Newt is AFPC Vice President Ilan Berman and AFPC Senior Fellow for Asian Studies Stephen Yates, a former staffer for Vice President Dick Cheney.
Cheney's top Middle East advisor David Wurmser is also part of the Newt campaign advisory team, along with former President Ronald Reagan's National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane, Reagan-era National Security Council (NSC) senior directors Norman Bailey and Ken deGraffenreid, Reagan-era Undersecretary of State for security assistance, science, and technology Bill Schneider, former CIA Director James Woolsey, and others. We're also told Newt is talking to former Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace and former Central Command head Gen. John Abizaid.
Looks like another:
"Project for Another American Catastrophe" or PaNAC for short.
All we need is for William Kristol to chirp in.
With Pakistan already being pushed into the Iranian club by predator drones and cross border strife. They can then make the case that since Pakistan has nuclear weapons they will give them to the Iranians, this will justify any absurdity they deem pertinent.
I can hear the neocon tom-toms of fear and loathing already.
The last thing America and the rest of the world need is the return of the imperialist neocons and another bout of calling fellow Americans that object traitors. I for one could do without a repeat of the Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin and Bill Kristol bloodbath roadshow.
The perpetual war crowd is on the rise with Newt and is something to be truly feared.
