An army of Staches? I doubt the world could sustain that much awesomeness.

I have this feeling about this presidential election between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. It’s not just about them, it’s about the armies behind them. The people who share in their victory also in their defeat. Look at the army of the night riding behind the presumptive Republican nominee. It’s a army of neocons for lack of a better word. they bring war with them in every election.

People voted for W, they got Iraq. Why? Because the army poised behind the uninformed ill-read W knew what he didn’t. When 9/11 struck, they struck. This time it’s Iran. But don’t think they’re going to end it there. these old Cold Warriors haven’t been happy since the Berlin wall fell. Listen to Romney’s works. He didn’t write them himself. He’ll say what it takes to get the right wing behind him. But the right wing will follow him right to the White House. They will grab the levers of military power like Rumsfeld and Cheney before them. And they will use them. You can bet on that.

Joan Walsh is a political analyst. Joan, you’re laughing because you know I’m telling the absolute truth. There is an army of John Boltons out there and all these people. They have nothing else to do but get jobs in a new Republican administration every ten years or so, or 12 years in which they can push for their latest war agenda. They are absolutely consistent. Here’s the question. Who wins if Obama loses? Let’s start with Mitt Romney and his foreign policy team including noted neocon John Bolton. Willing to fight on every front.
