Republicans Against Trump: Bush Advisor Wolfowitz Says He'll Likely Vote for Clinton

Der Spiegel ^ | August 26, 2016 – 06:24 PM | Gordon Repinski

[Olog-hai]

In an interview, Paul Wolfowitz, 72, an advisor to former President Bush, discusses the dangers of a Donald Trump presidency, why he will likely vote for the Democrat’s candidate this year and mistakes made during the Iraq war. […]

Spiegel: Recently, 50 former senior Republican security officials declared Donald Trump to be a security risk. Is he?

Wolfowitz: Yes, he is.

Spiegel: Why?

Wolfowitz: He says he admires Putin, that Saddam Hussein was killing terrorists, that the Chinese were impressive because they were tough on Tiananmen Square. That is pretty disturbing. […]

Spiegel: Who are you going to vote for in November?

Wolfowitz: I wish there were somebody I could be comfortable voting for. I might have to vote for Hillary Clinton, even though I have big reservations about her. …

I think the problem is that the Bush family and all connected to it have been sold a bill of goods by the Saudi Royal family. And out of this close friendship between the Bushs, the oil industry, and the House of Saud came what we know as the Bush Doctrine: i.e. radical islam is a tiny problem kept under control, for the most part, by the House of Saud.

The reason W was brought to heel so quickly after his "Crusade" comment was because his Dad and Dick Cheney explained to him how things work.

Hence W's next comment: "islam is the religion of peace."

Anything else would create a fracture in the relationship between the U.S. and the House of Saud and that would threaten the life blood of America...oil.

Wolfowitz was merely part of the team and as such he bought into the plan hook, line, and sinker.

So did Dana Perino to the extent that she is a naive child who believes in her boss and bought into the plan without even knowing that there was a plan.

All these legacies and reputations hang in the balance and all it would take is one truth teller to destroy it all.

The truth is, the Bush Doctrine is simply wrong. Islam is a much bigger monster than anyone can fathom.

But Trump gets is...and many of the American people get it.

It would be so easy for the Bush clan to make a statement that they simply got it wrong about islam. But that takes guts...and political ability and guts don't coexist easily in the same person.

That's why Trump scares the hell out of the whole crowd in DC. He's got guts.

Trump really does look like King Kong to the backroom dealers in DC.

They aren't dumb. They are petrified.

This is outrageously stupid. Hillary is an unethical liar who has been one of the biggest risks to national security that we've ever had to face from an SOS. Trump is not a managed and scripted ‘politician’, and what he's said in all the instances cited were just ‘shoot from the hip’ quips that have been purposefully taken out of context in order to damage him. He has clearly gone after the Chinese on multiple issues, and made the comment about Tienanmen in the context of rioting and police shootings in American cities. He wasn't talking about stifling freedom in China and supporting the Communist regime. The person who has done that is Hillary, and the Communist Party of the USA supports her.

Wolfowitz is clearly a disingenuous self-interested butt, who is only trying to rid the ‘country club’ of people he doesn't think should be offered membership. This proves that his concern about the nation is secondary to his biases and self-interest.

Beats me. Maybe the USSR developed something during the cold war.

[Olog-hai]

They developed something before the Cold War, with the help of Alger Hiss and others. They called it the United Nations.

I would have thought 9/11 taught them the fallacy of the helpfulness of the Saudi Royal Family. Our connection to them has been a complete and total disaster. And there’s strong evidence that they had direct knowledge/planning of that atrocity.

You know, no one really thinks about the long-lasting effects of 9/11 on the psyche and politics of America. Unlike Pearl Harbor, where we took care of business, we have done nothing but give in to radical islam and suppressed all talk of that evil day. Don’t tell me this hasn’t damaged the minds and hearts of America!

[aces]

they are the same as the dems, we knew it, all have lemming mentality because they can’t see simply, we need food, water, and to not be in debt, have a military that kills all who would do us harm and a vision of love based in God through Christ for our future light...

[Nifster]

RINOs are doing this left and right. WE DON”T CARE

GET OUT THE VOTE

Well, I had my 4th eye surgery on the 1st. They used a drug that makes patients forget what went on. If they can do that, then there could be a drug that makes people lose what sense they had. I read a joke on FB earlier. “Terrorists had gotten all congress critters and were demanding $100,000,000 as ransom or they would pour gasoline on them and burn them up. A trucker was in the long line of traffic. He noticed a man coming toward him and rolled his window down. The man told him they were out collecting donations. The trucker asked him how much the average donation was. He was told that they it was about a gallon,”

Who likes socialism
We like socialism
How much socialism
A whole lot of socialism
Well now don’t you frown
Just knuckle down and
Knock on Wood
(”knock, knock, knock”)

Dooley Wilson would be pleased. I was thinking the same thing when I saw the earlier poem, but you nailed it. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship...

[DoughtyOne]

Yes, fertile ground this topic...

I agree!

We need to pull a league of nations two, and just unplug the thing.

Paul Wolfowitz, 72, former president of the World Bank, was born in New York City to an academic socialist family. He was a registered Democrat up to 1981 when he became a self-named "Scoop Jackson" RINO Republican and he became one of the original neo-conservatives of today's Bill Kristol stripe.

A liberal, radical socialist/globalist, Wolfie no doubt donned Republican clothing to insinuate himself into the circle of Reagan advisors.

These days, in an ongoing affair, Wolfowitz's main squeeze is a certain Shaha Ali Riza, born in Libya, raised in Saudi Arabia. She's a non-citizen and a former World Bank employee, and she's now hooked up with one of the zillions of the subversive "world peace" foundations in DC.

Many questions are always being raised of her being a "possible spy" because of her apparent unlimited access to the Pentagon and to our alien State Department thanks to Wolfowitz's continuing DC uniparty Establishment influence.

I hope someone in the Trump campaign debunks this creepy, slippery, vulpine operative and lets the voters know that Trump wouldn't want his endorsement for all the tea in the China.

Just another Neo-Con bozo. Why did we ever get stuck with GW Bush? If only Trump had been elected POTUS in 2000 !!!!!!

[DoughtyOne]

Sad, but that just about covers it doesn’t it.

[MamaB]

Forget the “they” before the it. Sometimes I think my iPad has a mind of its own.

[DoughtyOne]

Hope your surgery went well, and thanks for the cute joke.

Take care.

Excellent post Leni. Thank you.

The neocons have cost our country so much in blood and treasure, it is nothing short of treason.

[DefeatCorruption]

Yes. But for this jerk to take seriously a throwaway remark by Trump compared to Hillary’s emails, her foundation and her complete subservience to the middle east tyrants is mindboggling. It truly makes you doubt their sanity.

...AND OURS! Like living in an alternate universe...one day here and one day there. Instead of Hillary’s ALT-right we should coin ALT-Universe - or Alt-uni for short!

[connyankee]

The Bushclinton’s can collectively go f&&^k themselves. Period.
