McCain: Experience? Yes. Judgment! No! McCain's foreign policy adviser is neocon Randy Scheunemann

Who is Randy Scheunemann you ask? Scheunemann was the Executive Director of the Committee to Liberate Iraq and a PNAC board member, and is itching to go to war with Iran! This is why Joe Liebermann supports McCain--because he is a neocon hawk who wants to go to war first, and ask questions later--the very definition of trigger happy--or as Ed Schultz calls McCain--a warmonger.

Randy Scheunemann: McCain Adviser Campaigned for War
By Peter Slevin

CHICAGO -- Randy Scheunemann, the foreign policy adviser to Sen. John McCain who today accused Sen. Barack Obama of a "policy of delusion" toward terrorism, was a prominent advocate of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in the lead-up to the war.

In late 2002, Scheunemann helped create The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq and became the group's executive director. Its mission, pursued with the Bush administration's blessing, was to build public support for the overthrow of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

McCain (R-Ariz.) was on the committee, along with Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), former Secretary of State George Shultz, retired Army Gen. Wayne A. Downing and former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.), who described the project at the time as "a group of people who will talk to Americans about why the liberation of Iraq is something the United States ought to do."

Scheunemann is a longtime GOP foreign policy specialist who has also worked on the staffs of former Senate Republican leaders Bob Dole (Kan.) and Trent Lott (Miss.) He was a board member of the neoconservative think tank, the Project for the New American Century, which often reflected the views of Bush administration hardliners.

In recent years, Scheunemann has registered as a lobbyist for several foreign governments, including Georgia, Macedonia and Taiwan, according to published reports. His firm has also lobbied for the National Rife Association and defense contractor Lockheed Martin.

A Washington Post article in November 2002 reported that The Committee for the Liberation of Iraq was being created as the Bush administration was preparing the nation for a likely war that was ultimately launched in March 2003.

5. Bob Knight always used to say "Perfect practice makes perfect"

The opposite of that is also true, bad practice makes for bad performance. I would submit that is true for experience also. Spend your life consorting with scoundrels and thieves and experience like that will lead to a bad performance when the time comes.
