Neocons, Republicans and War Criminals Rave About Obama's 'Team
of Rivals' By Jeremy Scahill, AlterNet Posted on November 30, 2008, Printed on December 1, 2008 http://www.alternet.org/bloggers/www.alternet.org/109160/ As Barack Obama's opus, Team of Rivals, continues its rolling debut, the early reviews are in and the "critics" are full of praise for the cast: "[T]he new administration is off to a good start." -- Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell. "[S]uperb ... the best of the Washington insiders ... this will be a valedictocracy -- rule by those who graduate first in their high school classes." -- David Brooks, conservative New York Times columnist "[V]irtually perfect ... " -- Senator Joe Lieberman, former Democrat and John McCain's top surrogate in the 2008 campaign. "[R]eassuring." -- Karl Rove, "Bush's brain." "I am gobsmacked by these appointments, most of which could just as easily have come from a President McCain ... this all but puts an end to the 16-month timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, the unconditional summits with dictators, and other foolishness that once emanated from the Obama campaign ... [Hillary] Clinton and [James] Steinberg at State should be powerful voices for 'neo-liberalism' which is not so different in many respects from 'neo-conservativism.'" -- Max Boot, neoconservative activist, former McCain staffer. "I see them as being sort of center-right of the Democratic party." -- James Baker, former Secretary of State and the man who led the theft of the 2000 election. "[S]urprising continuity on foreign policy between President Bush's second term and the incoming administration ... certainly nothing that represents a drastic change in how Washington does business. The expectation is that Obama is set to continue the course set by Bush ... " -- Michael Goldfarb of the neoconservative Weekly Standard. "I certainly applaud many of the appointments ... " -- Senator John McCain "So far, so good." -- Senator Lamar Alexander, senior Republican Congressional leader. Hillary Clinton will be "outstanding" as Secretary of State -- Henry Kissinger, war criminal Rahm Emanuel is "a wise choice" in the role of Chief of Staff -- Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, John McCain's best friend. Obama's team shows "Our foreign policy is non-partisan." -- Ed Rollins, top Republican strategist and Mike Huckabee's 2008 campaign manager "The country will be in good hands." -- Condoleezza Rice, George W. Bush's Secretary of State **Team of Rivals will be playing all day, every day for at least the next four years** Jeremy Scahill pledges to be the same journalist under an Obama administration that he was during Bill Clinton and George Bush's presidencies.
