Romney Is Another Bush: Calls For Another " [ Project For The New ] American Century":

Today Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal. it was titled " A New Course for the Middle East". Well that's not what he described. He starts out in the first paragraph by ticking off the various calamities that America is faced with in that region. Romney never notes that most are self inflicted calamities. How about invading Iraq? He mentions our loss of prestige and our loss of life. He doesn't mention the cost in money. Maybe he thinks spending by the military-industrial complex is good for business. He also mentions Israel. He is seemingly devastated by the way Obama has demoted Israel's security in favor of the region as a whole. He then goes on to mention Israel a total of EIGHT times. He mentions Israel's Prime Minster Netanyahu. He mentions Iran once. he mentions Egypt once.

He doesn't mention how he is going to shape U.S. foreign policy in the mid east to the new realities in the region. Instead he would as president basically double-down on past neocon policies with a new roll out  of the Project For The New American Century. And I quote, " Our challenges are different now, but if the 21st century is to be another American Century, we need leaders who understand that keeping the peace requires American strength in all its dimensions."

We don't need another jingoistic shopkeeper in the White house. Harry Truman and George W. Bush were two too many. The former gave us Israel and the latter continued to defend the mistake.
