(National Security Adviser) Jones Joins the 9-11 Truther Set

J Street’s conference next week has become a Rorschach test of sorts. More and more members of Congress are dropping out, having discovered just who will be speaking — such as this “poet” who finds Gaza to be another fascistic ghetto, complete with numbers written “on the wrists of babies.” And then there is the 9-11 “truther.” So Sens. Schumer, Gillibrand, Lincoln, and Cochran have bugged out, as have a growing list of congressmen.

But not the administration. The Obami are to be represented by National Security Adviser James Jones, who has no problem appearing on the same stage with those who wax lyrical about Guantanamo being Auschwitz and who find noxious any sanctions against Iran.

This of course is the gang who awarded Mary Robinson America’s highest honor. Hobnobbing with Israel bashers, therefore, is nothing new. But it does remind those who vouched for Obama just how misguided they were about his instincts and internal radar where Israel is concerned.

Ping.

The National Security Advisor is a truther. Wonderful.

Does this position get access to top secrets?

Another White House nutcase.

Jones is a retired 4 star Marine Corps General. Some felt reassured by his appointment. I think conservatives have a reflexive trust of Marines, mostly justified.

But there is an odd strain, mostly hidden in places we don't see, of anti-semitism. I don't know if that's what is going on with this guy, but something is off.

Look: Retired generals don't usually "just fade away." They parlay their shoulder stars into political hoo-hah. And at that perverted game, they are naive gibbering idiots.

[csmusaret]

Anyone seen Tommy Franks lately?

[Bahbah]

James Jones certainly fits your profile.
