I thought randy scheunemann would be in there in a higher profile. Probably still will be, in a lesser role or under the radar or some position where he doesn't need Senate approval.

But wolfowitz is FAR worse. Worse By FAR.

And he too is a PNAC signatory. That mentality of wreckage, destruction, recklessness and greed - still lives.

will waltz. Or line dance. Or do a jig. COUNT on it.

What else scares me to death about these guys is - they STILL think they were right about Iraq. They think it just kinda went wrong because... because... because... Benghazi. Because... black guy in Oval Office. Because... Easter Bunny... Because... who the fuck knows with these people? And I would bet - these guys are desperate to get back into power and prove they were right all along. And prove that they can get it right this time. They're gonna push for a replay. They're going to want a do-over, just to prove they were right, and that they'd called it right, just other stuff got in the way by some cosmic accident or something. And they're gonna want to try again and "get it right, this time." GUARANTEED.



Still wanna sit this one out, Hillary haters?

5 of the 6 should be in front of the Hague and answering charges for criminal war acts, torture comes to mind, and lying in front of Congress and for the murder of over 4600 Americans based on a lie, and untold thousands in the Middle East, like Afghanistan and Iraq.
So when you have already have blood on your hands this gives you validation to come and possibly do it again---don't think so, and besides its a Bush, that's says everything

Jeb Bush has no alternative but to gather all the Republican Guard.

It is called cover your ass.

It is assured Uncle Bandar Bin Laden Bush will be in many telecom conferences. Along with, Cheney, Halliburton Inc. and account for the water bill at Gitmo, and Iraq.

It is so convoluted criminal off the scale swindling covered up by mainstream media.

America needs an internal military corruption clean up task force to shake down the military to proportions that will put confidence back to Americas integrity in the world theater.

However, to openly investigate the Carlyle Group in arms sales, Booze Allen and Hamilton for secret spying, and send some high ranking generals, media insiders who sold the corruption of war profiteering, and some Wall Street fund managers put in jail.


Also if the Wiki / Snowden secret data base be released that could tip the balance to de facto treason that could make Nixon Watergate look like a fairy tale.

Or a sure winner if Hillary Clinton runs on the platform to fully investigate the Bush wars, torture, and bail out years.

Very hard to argue against securing assets of convicted persons and use that money to help Iraqi war veterans.

That would be something. That would be the right thing to do…

Jeb Bush is trying to push the idea that he is different from his father and his brother. If it is true that he is using the same people who advised his father and his brother he is not his own man. He cannot be his own man if he uses the same people his father and brother used.
