Reply #11: Look at his whole career, look what he's done

Thanks for posting the article.

I just don't see where anyone comes up with this McNamara analogy. I'd like to agree, I'd like to be an optimist, but in the end it still seems just downright nutty. Even usually good journalists seem to parrot it.

Look at PW’s past: the policy studies he’s completed, the institutional changes he’s put in place, the policies he’s implemented.

I don’t see McNamara anywhere, or incompetence, or someone who’s intellectually curious and ready for multi-lateral solution seeking.

Also look at the other recent bush appointments on the international scene –all of them hyper-loyal ideologues moved into influential positions.

Most of what PW has done in the past has somehow furthered his PNAC plan. Why would it be any different now? If anything, molding the pentagon with DR to fit their aims was more difficult. It’s not that much of a step to fashion the WB to more efficiently spread the radical right cheer to every nation.
