In an interview, Paul Wolfowitz, 72, an advisor to former President Bush, discusses the dangers of a Donald Trump presidency, why he will likely vote for the Democrats candidate this year and mistakes made during the Iraq war. [ ]
Spiegel: Recently, 50 former senior Republican security officials declared Donald Trump to be a security risk. Is he?Wolfowitz: Yes, he is.
Spiegel: Why?
Wolfowitz: He says he admires Putin, that Saddam Hussein was killing terrorists, that the Chinese were impressive because they were tough on Tiananmen Square. That is pretty disturbing. [ ]
Spiegel: Who are you going to vote for in November?
Wolfowitz: I wish there were somebody I could be comfortable voting for. I might have to vote for Hillary Clinton, even though I have big reservations about her.
(Excerpt) Read more at spiegel.de ...
So what are all of these so called Republicans that are voting for Hillary going to do when she gets into office .... Support her agenda? After all they are voting for her and the whole world will know it.
Yeah, that’s a shocker...
That a guy who has sniffed the jockstraps of those in power, and lived off of taxpayer funded jobs his entire adult life, would want to continue to do that.
Obama missed his golden opportunity. But of course he would.
When Trump is president, and Iranian boatloads of koranimals want to play games with our warships, they will get one warning...
If they persist... chumming coming up!...
We might even pick up the survivors and have them kneel on the deck with hands behind their heads... for a few hours.
I think you are right. I can’t stand listening to him anymore.
You make some excellent points.
Who likes socialism
We like socialism
How much socialism
A whole lot of socialism
Well now don’t you frown
Just knuckle down and
Knock on Wood
(”knock, knock, knock”)
Who hates the Constitution
We hate the Constitution
How much of it
A whole lot of it
Oh! Oh! that won’t do
When you are blue just
Knock on wood
(”knock, knock, knock”)
Who loves tyranny
We love tyranny
How much tyranny
A whole lot of tyranny
That’s the way were going to stay
So knock on wood
Every day, I see more clearly. They were right, and I was a fool.
I don't think the power brokers of either party give a damn about grassroots concerns like life or abortion, union or right to work, or the minimum wage, or the Constitution, or marriage or who-pees-where, or any of the things that we care about.
Not one damn thing. Those are smokescreen issues to keep us squabbling while they proceed to line their pockets.
Yep.
I stopped voting for a Bush - any Bush - in 2004. (I did not, however, vote for a Democrat.)
declared Donald Trump to be a security risk. ................................ Sorry but I have to agree with that. He is a danger to the security of the preservation of the DC Cabal’s golden goose. He will mess up the I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine, and worst of all, he probably can’t be bought. That is the greatest fear they have. It has nothing to do with the country, only their lifestyle and pocket book.
Spiegel: Does it annoy you that you are called the Architect of the Iraq War?So according to himself, he is really not the architect but should have been.
Wolfowitz: Annoyed isnt the right word; its inaccurate. If I had been the architect, a lot of these things would be different. As a matter of fact, I believed after 9/11, there was reason to get much tougher about the fact that Saddam was blocking the inspections for weapons of mass destruction. He was harboring terrorists. I thought that it was time to give Saddam an ultimatum just as we did with the Taliban who were harboring Osama Bin Laden. People seem to forget that Saddam was the only leader in the world who praised the attacks of 9/11 as a good thing.
Many of us supported the Iraq War, in part because we trusted Bush and Cheney, and in part because we knew Saddam was truthfully a bad guy.
We didn't know that Wolfowitz was selling Bush on a grander plan that was deeply flawed and part of a grander plan of globalism.
What's the chance Hillary will decline his support? And what's the chance her progressive supporters will care?
The open borders, world order people are showing themselves for what they are.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.Arent the RINOs that promised to undo Obamas agenda if elected/re-elected instead supporting it?

Seems to me that one problem is Trump doesn’t mince words.. he doesn’t go around the bush to find the right words... he just talks. He meets the people and does not put on airs... which is fresh and riles the elite who are empty suits. They consider a man of the people not fit to be President.
Those stinkin’ elite don’t ever just talk with the people. They parse words, they lie, they promise things and have no intention of doing them.. or they say they will not do something and then do the opposite.. politicians don’t ever tell the truth.. they don’t ever talk plain talk.. and they all think their way is the ONLY way to do anything.
Whereas... I hate their talk, their way, their lies, their promises that they never keep, and their absolute lack of respect for the people. They consider themselves too good to associate and the sooner they are put in place, the better for the country. I never, in my whole life, realized the length and depth of the corrupt Washington media/politicals, and absolute lack of any brains to work with... though highly educated, they lack in common sense and they lack in their ability to live among common man... willfully ignorant is who they are... and that’s inexcusable.
The rejection of Wolfowitz should be judged to be highly valuable. One of the chief authors of the current chaotic state of the Mideast. Classic intellectual viper, completely unaware of just how venal he actually is and the 50 years+ on full-on misery he will have unleashed upon the world.
Republicans Against Trump
R.A.T.S.
Figures. They don’t even hide it.
Yes. And one of the leading rats is appropriately named Willard.
F'ing loser, f'ing clown.
Franklin Roosevelts rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states rights by the national Democratic Party an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. [ ] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.Definitely decades.
The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states rights. We often talk about returning to the states their rightful powers; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily.
