"SNIP................


Scott Walker talking about foreign policy ranks among the most terrifying things I can imagine.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) said Wednesday that if he’s elected president, on his first day in office he’ll reject any deal the White House strikes with Iran over its nuclear program if it continues to allow the country to enrich uranium.

I do enjoy the current Republican effort to ensure Iran knows very directly that no matter what they do or agree to, America simply can't be trusted. Sign whatever papers you want with us, various nations of the world, all of it is crap that the next sitting president will simply ignore if it means getting a chance to push the big shiny button and see one of those wonderful, wonderful not-wars that are all the rage on American cable channels these days.

“The concept of a nuclear Iran is not only problematic for Iran, and certainly for Israel, but it opens the doors,” Walker continued. “I mean, the Saudis are next. You’re going to have plenty of others in the region … going to want to have a nuclear weapon if the Iranians have a nuclear weapon.”

they can insert their policy into him. Just like G. W. Bush to the Neocons. It is not just the voters the GOP wants to be ignorant. It is the politicians and presidents too. No wonder they hate pointy headed intellectuals. Pointy headed intellectuals un puppetize people with education and facts.
