And None Dare Call It Treason; Who is Randy Scheunemann?

[Purveyor]

I rarely post Pat Buchanan commentary but every once in awhile, he writes something worthy of reading. imo, this is one of those articles.

Who is Randy Scheunemann?

He is the principal foreign policy adviser to John McCain and potential successor to Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski as national security adviser to the president of the United States.

But Randy Scheunemann has another identity, another role.

He is a dual loyalist, a foreign agent whose assignment is to get America committed to spilling the blood of her sons for client regimes who have made this moral mercenary a rich man.

From January 2007 to March 2008, the McCain campaign paid Scheunemann $70,000 — pocket change compared to the $290,000 his Orion Strategies banked in those same 15 months from the Georgian regime of Mikheil Saakashvili.

What were Mikheil's marching orders to Tbilisi's man in Washington? Get Georgia a NATO war guarantee. Get America committed to fight Russia, if necessary, on behalf of Georgia.

Scheunemann came close to succeeding.

Had he done so, U.S. soldiers and Marines from Idaho and West Virginia would be killing Russians in the Caucasus, and dying to protect Scheunemann's client, who launched this idiotic war the night of Aug. 7. That people like Scheunemann hire themselves out to put American lives on the line for their clients is a classic corruption of American democracy.

U.S. backing for his campaign to retrieve his lost provinces is what Saakashvili paid Scheunemann to produce. But why should Americans fight Russians to force 70,000 South Ossetians back into the custody of a regime they detest? Why not let the South Ossetians decide their own future in free elections?

Not only is the folly of the Bush interventionist policy on display in the Caucasus, so, too, is its manifest incoherence.

4. Regarding this paragraph, should it take place.

"If that be true, and it transparently is, what are McCain, Barack Obama, Bush, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel doing committing the United States and Germany to bringing Georgia into NATO? For that would commit us to war for a cause we have already conceded, by our paralysis, does not justify a war."

It will only be subject to Georgia releasing any claim to those regions.

I believe at some point in the future even Russia will join NATO, but in the mean time, Bush and his soul mate are dividing up the map for final settlement and as a secondary goal of creating instability for the sake of high oil prices which benefit Cheney and Bush's corporate oil masters and Russia as it sits on vast reserves of oil.

I believe Cheney/Bush know they can't do anything about it, Putin knows they can't do anything about it, but they can create instability and this is what these Cold War military industrial complex loving addicts crave.
