Dr. Thomas Barnett a Democrat....

[readmylips]

I watched some of his C-Span presentation and even thought it seemed that he was pushing 'world dominance by the US, many of his facts on how wrong the US is fighting wars today, I could agree.
.....From his webpage:
Got some stories to blog today, plus the letters to the editor in the September issue of Esquire regarding my June article, “Mr. President, Here’s How to Make Sense of Our Iraq Strategy, but before I go on to those, let me say that I caught Arnold Schwarzenegger’s speech to the Republican National Convention on CSPAN this morning as I was folding laundry after mowing the lawn and I must say, that man is some fabulous political theater. The Dems are lucky he can’t run for president, because he has good content, delivers it extremely well, is photogenic and popular as all get out, and he’s just plain entertaining like neither presidential candidate this year can ever hope to be. As a Democrat, I would seriously consider voting for him for president (he can’t run because the Constitution bans Americans of foreign birth from national office), and that makes him awfully potent as a campaign asset for the Republicans (he’s a real stealer like Reagan was).

2. If Barnett lived in CA

instead of Rhode Island, he'd be as bored and fed up with the Gropinator as I am. I heard his 'speech' at least 800 times during the recall of Gov. Davis who was sunk by Enron as we now know. What hasn't been reported on very much is the many meetings that Arnold had with Enron behind closed doors. Arnold is just another republican pig wearing a bad shade of lipstick.

3. Barnett

On May 11, the Wall Street Journal ran a profile of him (gotta pay to get the archive copy, so I haven't linked). I remember some of the stuff he wrote during the war, it's not easy to categorize.

I think some of the people in the audience at that briefing probably left there thinking, "wha' was that?" It was compelling, on the level of "either this guy is a total nut-case or one of the smartest people I've ever seen."
