Commentary: West Should Work With, Not Against, Russia In Handling Ukraine Crisis

42. I don't believe I said he was still in any position in governent. What was his position in Bush's

administration? After he left the few months stint at the UN? He is still doing what he did back then, influencing public opinion, or trying to.

And no, Faux is NOT the only place he has a voice although that would be enough for the role he plays on behalf of Neocon war mongering. He is greeted with the utmost respect for his views on Foreign Policy by publications like the WSJ eg, where he slammed Obama's Syria policies.

He was supposed to appear on the BBC a few nights ago. Why would someone who should be among the most discredited, loony members of the neocon warmongers, be still considered worthy of anything other than an indictment for helping lie this country into war? Could YOU get these platforms to speak about these issues? Do people like Amy Goodman get these offers?

It's simple, they still have huge influence for some reason on the corporate media and everywhere propaganda can be spread. And is there anyone countering their propaganda?

They sure have influence in the Republican Party which controls the House right now, don't they?

You don't have to hold an official position to influence policy. You only need to have enough people in place who will promote your policies for you. THAT is why so much money is spent on candidates for election.

In fact, most politicians probably have less influence than those backed by Big Money.
