Poll question: Should Kerry's Advisors Sign PNAC Statements?

Edited on Sat Oct-23-04 02:22 PM by Zhade
Some already have. DLCer and PNAC fanboy Will Marshall, founder and head of the PPI (which shares an office with PNAC) has signed statements in the past.

But now, there's a new development: several of Kerry's advisors and/or surrogates have signed onto a new PNAC document.

From IkeWarnedUs' thread (emphasis added):

"Given how their past Statements have turned into National Policy and actions, this is big. What is even more alarming are the people who are signing on with this group. In prior Statements there would be somewhere between 15 and 30 signers, most of them pretty predictable. This time there are 117 signers and they include Madeleine Albright, Senator Joseph Biden, Senator John McCain and Richard Holbrooke.

Do these people know the evil they are crawling in bed with? I don't know if I would feel better if they knew and did it anyway or if they are ignorant about the group they are endorsing."


PNAC, as we all know, called for taking down Hussein in the late 90s. They crafted the doctrine of "preemptive" (in reality, preventative) war. They are filled to the brim with extreme neoconservatives, and stated before 9/11 that their policy goals would not be easy to pursue, barring a "new Pearl Harbor".

They are fascists, and some of Kerry's people have signed onto their statements.

Does this sit well with DUers?

(Inspired by a PNAC update from DUer IkeWarnedUs. Thanks for the update, IWU!)
