Bipartisan think tank formed - The Hill (lots of powerful names involved)

[Rose Siding]

A new, bipartisan think tank aims to develop national-security policies by harkening back to an era when there was broad consensus on U.S. foreign policy.

A group of 23 foreign-policy luminaries representing both sides of the aisle will launch the Partnership for a Secure America (PSA), dedicated to bridging the deep ideological divide that dominates current foreign-policy making. Jamie Metzl, one of the group’s chairmen, will announce the new think tank today at the National Press Club.
....
The 12 Republican board members are former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger; ex-Sens. Warren Rudman (N.H.), Howard Baker (Tenn.), Nancy Kassebaum Baker (Kan.) and Jack Danforth (Mo.), who served as Bush’s U.N. ambassador and envoy to Sudan; former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean; former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld; former U.S. Trade Representative Carla Hills; former National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane; Rita Hauser, chairwoman of the International Peace Academy; and John Whitehead, a former deputy secretary of state.

The 11 Democratic board members are former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Warren Christopher; former Defense Secretary William Perry; former National Security Advisers Samuel Berger, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Tony Lake; former Ambassador Richard Holbrook; former Sen. Gary Hart (Colo.); former Rep. Lee Hamilton (Ind.); former U.N. Ambassador Donald McHenry; and lawyer Ted Sorenson.

1. I hope this is not just one more forum

where progressives can defer to the fascist agenda

[ananda]

3. progressives?

There are no progressives in this forum.. all are members of the BP (Business Party) to one extent or another. It's only minor differences in the extent that distinguishes Dems from Reeps.

6. Maybe good. Lots of nasty people on that list

[DURHAM D]

7. Is this Robert McFarlane the one involved in Iran-Contra and

pardoned by Poppy Bush? If so - he is an illegimate member. Also, Lawrence Eagleburger is a psycho.

[Rose Siding]

8. Danforth's the only R on there who I'd trust with my lunch money

He has spoken with great scorn against the theocratic wing of the gop

[MadHound]

9. True that, but he is stilled just another corporate whore

As are all the rest. However it is rumored that Jacky boy is at least honest about it, having had the Ralston Purina Checkerboard Square tatooed on his ass back in the seventies.

This whole panel is just more of the two party, same corpoate master BS. All of these people belong to the same party after all, the Corporatista party.

11. Isnt Danforth

also an Episcopalian minister?

[DURHAM D]

12. Didn't he smear Crisco on Clarence Thomas for his swearing

in at the SC. Really - he was the main supporter for Thomas.

10. There can be no "bipartisan" solutions to foreign policy

with the current right-wing cabal running the show in the Republican Party.
