RUDY GIULIANI'S "WAR WITH IRAN" TEAM...
"(The) foreign policy advisers he has signed up make the Vulcans of Bush look like Howard Zinn and Ramsey Clark."

That's conservative commentator and former Republican presidential contender Pat Buchanan talking about the team that is telling current Republican presidential contender Rudy Giuliani how to think about international affairs in general and the war on terror in particular.

And here's the interesting part: Buchanan is suggesting that historian Zinn and former Attorney General Clark, as much men of the left as the former adviser to Presidents Nixon and Reagan is a man of the right, are a good deal more rational in their world views than the people advising Giuliani.

He's right to worry. Giuliani, who has less foreign policy experience than any presidential contender since, well, George Bush in 2000, has sent the most powerful signal possible about the direction in which his presidency would be headed. And that direction is toward war with Iran.

1. Rudy is IT, the one to carry on the Neocon dream. Only Mittens can

derail him now. I wonder if Mittens is a member of the neocon faithful? Jeb Bush backs him, after all. God forbid if Hillary doesn't win (the general). We are in a world of hurt. I hope Bloombeg runs.

When he lands on the carrier to announce the war with Iran "Mission Accomplished"?
