What Romney knows about the Middle East wouldn’t fill a thimble. Worse, he will be dependent on quack advisors who don’t know anything either. The Bush administration was a kind of golden age for military and intelligence consultants and contractors who advised on, and often ran, everything from food service to “enhanced interrogation” (civil service types being a little rusty on this sort of thing). Romney’s objective is to re-start that gravy train.
His administration would be the second coming of Rumsfeld.
