The recently announced co-chair of Presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s Middle East advisory group is Walid Phares. He is dubbed as an academic and a counter-terrorism expert and is one of the primary advisers of Romney’s foreign policy. But as Mother Jones reports, there’s one thing left off his list of qualifications: “He was a high ranking political official in a sectarian religious militia responsible for massacres during Lebanon’s brutal, 15-year civil war.” He was one of the ideological spearheads of a Christian faction of Lebanese militants which has been accused of committing atrocities. As a candidate, that’s how Romney picks ’em. How might he pick ’em as President?
Walid Phares is a dyed in the wool phalangist. He is a fanatical anti-muslim and he is a gun for hire. Romney has brought a bloodstained rodent into his midst. I am not surprised at all.
Rats recognize their own. It's the law.
Romny should never become president.He is a zionist and statements he has made show him as a person that would be gun ho to enter America into another illegal war.The fact is the constitution is the law and has not been listened to since before 1920 and every new president breaks it more and more.The only on running that deserves to be president and will start to repaire Americas image is Ron Paul a stricked constitutionalist.America needs a president that don't think he is above the law and cares about the country over all others unlike most that put Israel ahead of Americas interests.Unless Americans want another president that feels the law don't apply to him they will do whats right and smart and the only option is Paul.The rest are more of the same all law breakers like most presidents in many more years than most realize.
Unbelievable.
What else is new in Lalaland?
Can't get any worse than Cheney's/Bush's/Obama's foreign policy advisers. It's a fact our establishment leaders are at war with the islamic/arabic/persian/palestinian world so it would only make sense that hey elected mentally and morally unsuited personnel to advise them to continue to do stupid things.
How can anyone in their right-mind endorse a Romney, a Cain, or a Perry to hold the highest office in the land? Perry, for example has presided over hundreds of exexutions in Texas. How might he preside over assassinations around the globe? America's new tool of foreign policy. As an American, I am profoundly perplexed over this coming presidential election. The candidtates are all seemingly cut from the same bolt of cloth, bought-and-paid-for by corporate America, the banks and Wall Street, more concerned with Israeli security than that of the U.S.
The only rational candidate in my view is Ron Paul, however, the coopted media will assure that he has no platform from which to enlighten the American people. We will end up with one of the above hacks or retain the one we are saddled with currently.
