Willard: Still fighting the cold war

[Bo-4]

With any clown who surrounds themselves with Bushlandian Neocons, i suppose that is exactly what we can and should expect!

Romney's foreign affairs statements have a Rip Van Winkle quality, as if he had just emerged from a sleep of two decades. His cold war language suits the bipolar world of the 20th century, not the current era.

One telling example: Earlier this year, he made the stunning claim that Russia was "our number-one geopolitical foe," prompting former Secretary of State Colin Powell to comment, "C'mon, Mitt, think. That isn't the case."

Old white men only get one vote...just like the rest of us. Too bad for Mitt.

It's not just that Mitt has no understanding of international affairs -- that has been true of many successful Presidents before they took office. Mitt doesn't even have anyone on his staff who understands international affairs. Just a bunch of washed up PNAC NeoCons.

Not sure if you guys saw his speech to the VFW today, but he was talking just like a tough guy Bushlandian neocon. The influence of these clowns was unmistakable.

Romney’s team is notable for including Bush aides tarnished by the Iraq fiasco: Robert Joseph, the National Security Council official who inserted the infamous “sixteen words” in Bush’s 2003 State of the Union message claiming that Iraq had tried to buy enriched uranium from Niger; Dan Senor, former spokesman for the hapless Coalition Provisional Authority under Paul Bremer in Iraq; and Eric Edelman, a top official at the Pentagon under Bush. “I can’t name a single Romney foreign policy adviser who believes the Iraq War was a mistake,” says Cato’s Preble. “Two-thirds of the American people do believe the Iraq War was a mistake. So he has willingly chosen to align himself with that one-third of the population right out of the gate.”
