THE NEOCon NEOLib CROSSOVER - Why Does NeoCon Poster Child Max Boot Love Obama?

Neocons Heart Obama

Max Boot just adores Barack Obama’s proposed national security team, especially the retention of Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense and General Jim Jones over at the NSC. “I have to admit that I am gobsmacked by these appointments, most of which could just as easily have come from a President McCain,” Boot fawns.

Max Boot loves Obama and his CFR handpicked crew because they will pick up where the neocons and Republicans left off.

Max Boot makes well the argument that there is no difference between McCain and Obama, never mind millions of changelings who believe Obama stands for love, peace, and a new road not traveled by the Bushcons. Some of them actually believe Obama will bring the troops home, the poor deluded souls.

So, who is this Max Boot guy and why are his pronouncements on Obama and his nominations significant? Not only is Boot connected to the Project for the New American Century and its warmongering sister group, the American Enterprise Institute, he is also a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Max Boot is the poster child for the neocon slash neolib crossover, thus demonstrating there is little difference between these two camps, same as there is little difference between McCain and Obama, never mind the convoluted efforts of the corporate media to convince us otherwise during the election.

Not only does Boot want to mass murder Iranians, he also wants to kill a whole lot of Saudis. After bunker-busting the place back to the Stone Age, the U.S. should grab “the Saudi’s oil fields and administer them as a trust for the people of the region,” declares Mr. Boot. Sort of like they are currently administering Iraq’s oil fields, never mind the million plus Iraqis who have died in the process.

It should be noteworthy that a guy of Boot’s psychotic caliber is all ga-ga over Barky. It means Obama, according to Boot, will continue the neocon agenda, which is of course the CFR and neolib agenda with a few minor differences. Can’t tell ‘em apart without a scorecard, a fact Boot admits.

Obama’s tentative appointments put “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. His appointments suggest that, if anything, his administration will have a Reapolitiker, rather than a liberal, bent, although Clinton and Steinberg at State should be powerful voices for ‘neo-liberalism’ which is not so different in many respects from ‘neo-conservativism’. Both, for instance, support humanitarian interventions in places like Darfur and Bosnia.”
