    The War Party's decisive influence in the Obama administration is going to be rolled out on Monday

    ... so that even the most craven Obama-bots on the Left will be left wondering who and what they voted for. Hillary the hawk at State, Bush's warlord Robert Gates at Defense, and Gen. Jim Jones – who wants to station U.S. troops in the occupied territories under the rubric of NATO! – as national security adviser to the president. Yes, antiwar voters took a chance on Obama, reasoning that anything would be better than four more years of Bushian belligerence, yet now they discover to their chagrin that the dice are loaded. --- Justin Raimondo

    http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=13838 or click on sig.

    This came from near the middle of a fine article on Justin's predictions of the future. He says that from a personal standpoint he is tired of going after the idiot Republican neo-cons and the change to idiot Democratic neo-cons will be a relief. (my take on what he wrote)

    He does predict that we have another administration that will take us to wars all over the place. This time, though, we will kill them for their own good. (humanitarian war)

    I think the Jim Jones of Koolaide fame has returned!
