"No Go Zones" was part of his enlightening speech to this already corrupt Group.

Who Is The Henry Jackson Society?
http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/Henry_Jackson_Society
The Henry Jackson Society (HJS) is a UK-based advocacy organization that serves as a bastion of trans-Atlantic neoconservatism. Established in 2005, the group's "statement of principles" promotes a "forward strategy" aimed at assisting democratization across the globe, ensuring the maintenance of strong militaries in the United States and the European Union, and giving "two cheers to capitalism." Citing a commitment to "fundamental values," the statement also cautions that alliances with "repressive regimes" should only be temporary.
(snip)"No longer is a centrist, bipartisan think-tank seeking to promote democratic geopolitics through providing sober, objective and informed analysis to policy-makers," wrote founding member Marko Attila Hoare after resigning from the group in 2012. "Instead, it has become an abrasively right-wing forum with an anti-Muslim tinge, churning out polemical and superficial pieces by aspiring journalists and pundits that pander to a narrow readership of extreme Europhobic British Tories, hardline US Republicans
(snip)Founding members included John Bolton and George Weigel, both longstanding neoconservative figures, as well José María Aznar, the former conservative prime minister of Spain. Also among the ranks of FII's membership were Fiamma Nirenstein, a member of the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlesconi's coalition; Alejandro Toledo, former president of Peru; and David Trimble, former leader of Northern Ireland's conservative Ulster Unionist Party and an HSJ founding signatory. -

This is a very interesting read. Eye opening and though not surprised that Jindal would align with the Henry Jackson Society, I believe he may indeed be looking for that absen Foreign Policy Experience he may need for a 2016 campaign, I am also bothered by finding out just who else is aligned with this HJS. That the neoconservative agenda for American Govt has become so globally organized.
Yes, its a bit lengthy a read, but finding out that HJS, which began as a bipartisan group evolved into a neoconservative think-tank tells me how far their reach is.
Jindal's association with such a group is for a couple of stated reasons, however I question what enterprising deals will return to the US with.
And who are Henry Jackson Society's secret donors? btw
