How did we let these unelected wonks and wierdos take control?
Actually, Ronald Reagan started it. Though GWB kept them on. Or are you one of the selected not elected freaks.
Why do you think they're in control? Are fold like George Bush, Richard Cheney, Condi Rice, Don Rumsfeld just a bunch of dumbass Christian's under the control of the eternal Jews?
"We cannot let ideological extremists of any stripe nor our allies and their minions control our nation's foreign policy."
Bush is in control of our foreign policy. Go read Tommy Franks' book "American Soldier". Our foreign policy is in good hands with Bush and the team he picked.
"How did we let these unelected wonks and wierdos take control?"
Sounds an apt description of Pat Buchanan ... Ask a strawman-based rhetorical question, get a 'grab a clue' for an answer.
