W., Trump And The Neocons

George W. Bush was elected to office promising a "humble" foreign policy. He specifically said: "I'm not so sure it's the role of the United States to go around the world and say 'This is the way it's gotta be.'"

In hindsight, it's almost impossible to believe that those words were spoken by George W. Bush.

At the time, the perpetual war neocons were so-so on Bush. They much preferred John McCain to be the Republican nominee for president.

But they could work with Bush, and boy did they work with him. George W.'s administration would be honeycombed with neocons, from top to bottom.

By the beginning of 2002, Antiwar.com's Justin Raimondo would report:
To show you how much presidential elections, or any sort of elections, mean in this country: the [neocons] are not-so-quietly infiltrating a White House whose election most of them fiercely opposed, or supported only tepidly.

​So now we are getting the rhetoric of ‘Mad John’ McCain coming out of George W. ‘Humility’ Bush’s mouth.
Humble Bush morphed into pre-emptive war and nation-building Bush; which is in-line with the neocon agenda of American world hegemony.

We all know that the perpetual wars in the Middle East have been a complete and total failure.

Americans would try again.

They wanted "Hope & Change" and would elect Obama next.

But Obama (with his Nobel Peace Prize in hand) would end up dropping more bombs around the world than Bush!

Americans would try again.

Still wanting to end the madness, America would next turn to Donald Trump.

In his inauguration speech, Trump said:
We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world, but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example. We will shine for everyone to follow. 
Once again, we're a few years in, and it's almost impossible to believe that those words were actually spoken by Donald Trump!

Donald Trump, like Bush before him, would honeycomb his administration with war-hungry and world hegemony-seeking neocons.

Just yesterday, Patrick Buchanan wrote (emphasis added):
For a president who won his office by denouncing the Middle East wars into which George W. Bush and Barack Obama plunged the nation, Donald Trump has assembled the most unabashedly hawkish conclave of foreign policy advisers in memory. And he himself seems to concede the point.

If foreign policy were decided by my security adviser John Bolton, the president confided recently, “We’d be in four wars by now.”
This is not what Americans want, and not what Americans have voted for over the last 20+ years.

Do you think the neocons care about what the American people want?
