McCain Neo-Con Advisor hearts Obama Iraq Plan

Randy Scheunemann was director of foreign policy and national security for the McCain-Palin campaign.  He was the chief foreign policy advisor for John McCain.  And he has a history.  Scheunemann served as a director of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

In January 1998, PNAC published an open letter to President Bill Clinton arguing that “containment” of Iraq “has been steadily eroding,” jeopardizing the region and, potentially, beyond. “Given the magnitude of the threat, the current policy, which depends for its success upon the steadfastness of our coalition partners and upon the cooperation of Saddam Hussein, is dangerously inadequate.”

He founded the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq in 2002; director of foreign policy and national security for the McCain-Palin campaign

He now desribes the Obama plan as one John McCain might have formulated:

Now, we should all hope President Obama continues to listen to Gens. David Petraeus and Ray Odierno, rebuffs his left-wing critics and stays the course with an Iraq policy John McCain might have formulated.

WaPo

Hmmm.  More, after the fold.
