Following up on my recent post about Jeb Bush's announcement that he won't "re-litigate" his brother's wars because why learn anything, right, we see what he really meant. The above diagram shows the people with whom he's surrounding himself for foreign policy advice.
If anything tells us we'd be in for the same mistakes made by his big brother, it's that the list not only is the same crowd, it contains Paul Fking Wolfowitz, whose wrongness on Iraq included pretty much everything but the spelling of that country's name. And we don't even know that for sure.
I guess we should be glad Cheney and Rumsfeld aren't on the list; but does anyone think he'd not turn to them, too?

ReplyDeleteWe can only hope. A guy can dream can't he?
How can the Tpubs out do the circuses of Tpubs past? In my wildest of dreams I never thought the wingnuts would toss up such a softball. They've already lost the election.
All us progressives need to do is make an agenda and set sail for the POTUS seat. It's too easy.
I am not too sure that we can hold all three houses and gain more than 5 states red to blue or purples by 2020. 2020 is the census and if we progressives don't repair the voting laws, we are doomed. The Democrats are playing against a stacked deck. Once the right to vote is smashed, that's game and set. A complete revolt is all that's left if the left side has any chance of government for the people...*Not the corporation kind of people either. I mean real human beings.
