Hey, guys, it's just fact-based reality: BE SUSPICIOUS. ESPECIALLY if it's a republi-CON. They don't change their stripes. This guy is another bush family reptile. Covered with nice-guy clothes. But still a reptile.

I wouldn't trust a bush, particularly ol' jebbie, farther than I can throw my house.

Don't forget - he was a principle signatory of the PNAC, Project for the New American Century. That's the very same one that called for America "to fight and decisively win (HAH! Yeah, SURE, decisively) multiple wars on multiple fronts" in order to protect our position at the top of the economic international ziggurat. It envisioned us enforcing empire at all costs. And it speculated about the exact best way to get the public behind it, against their own best interests: (paraphrasing) "what we need is a new Pearl Harbor" - some sort of national catastrophe that befalls us from external forces, that fires up the kind of blind blood lust for revenge that, funny enough, we actually witnessed within a couple-three years or so of its limited publication - on September 11th 2001. Frankly I think that's what fueled most of the MIHOP (Make It Happen On Purpose) suspicions of the then-new bush2 administration. Especially recalling that he said and did nothing when presented with that alarming Presidential Daily Brief on August 6th, I think it was, 2001, warning that al Qaeda was planning to strike within the US. I believe what he said when a CIA guy tried to warn him - "well, you've covered yer ass now."

jebbie SIGNED OFF ON THAT. He SIGNED IT, along with cheney and paul wolfowitz and bill kristol and a number of platinum-level CONservative operatives and chickenhawks and powers-behind-the-throne, and other various architects and cheerleaders of what became our abysmal adventure in Iraq.

One other thing, btw, just as long as I'm remembering, even if it is off-subject (sorry): I personally was shocked when I read down that list and spotted michael o'hanlon's name on there. He was (and I think still is) high up in the Brookings Institution, which through the early years of the bush2 administration was one of the rare few "liberal" figures allowed on the airwaves to counter the armies of GOP and CON slobberers over the war. They'd invariably throw on michael o'hanlon on camera purportedly to offer the "other side." Which he never really did. Because he was actually one of them. BASTARD. I notice that he's not sticking his head out too far above the foxhole anymore. Wonder if a few too many people found out about his "credibility."
