Jeremy Scahill, investigative journalist and Blackwater watchdog, comments on the people surrounding Obama and feeding him foreign policy advice.
This Is Change? 20 Hawks, Clintonites and Neocons to Watch for in Obama's White House: A who's who guide to the people poised to shape Obama's foreign policy by Jeremy ScahillClick here to view this guide as a single page.
U.S. policy is not about one individual, and no matter how much faith people place in President-elect Barack Obama, the policies he enacts will be fruit of a tree with many roots. Among them: his personal politics and views, the disastrous realities his administration will inherit, and, of course, unpredictable future crises. But the best immediate indicator of what an Obama administration might look like can be found in the people he surrounds himself with and who he appoints to his Cabinet. And, frankly, when it comes to foreign policy, it is not looking good.

Not a single Anti-war cabinet member.... Nothing but pro war hawks and conservatives in his cabinet. What does that tell you about Obama?? It tells me that this is nothing more than a swindle. We've all been bamboozled. This beats anything that Ringling brothers an Barnum and Bailey ever thought about. This is nothing more than an AIPAC/ War Party Scam. Progressives voted for Obama because they thought he wanted to end the war....In return we get Bush III in Black face.
