SocraticGadfly: At least one new House Democrat not only drinks, but brews, the neocon Kool-Aid

At least one new House Democrat not only drinks, but brews, the neocon Kool-Aid

New Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Chris Carney still believes in
al Qaeda-Saddam Hussein connections. He does believe that, on a 0-10 scale with o representing no connection and 10 representing operational control, he puts the degree of connection at “2 1/2.”

Of course, working under Doug Feith at the Pentagon, he may be soft-pedaling things, too.

For example, sounding like a true-blue neoconservative believer, he wants to “stay the course” in Iraq, or more, and probably dodge the issue of personal responsibility.

“Let’s win the war first, then maybe look at how we got into it,” Carney said, arguing against Democrats, now in the majority, opening a new investigation of pre-war intelligence snafus or stovepiping.

Sounds to me Carney doesn’t want to get his own stovepiping exposed to the light of Congressional day.

It’s new folks like this that mean the general public shouldn’t expect too much out of this Congress.

Again, another reason to vote Green where available.
