Bolton, Neocons and Israel Firsters

Michael Schuer, writing at his blog, non-intervention.com, damns the president for his appointment of John Bolton. Scheuer is the former head of the CIA’s bin Laden unit, and he believes that with the appointment of John Bolton as the next National Security Adviser, President Trump has played into the hands of the neocons and the “Israel-firsters.” Scheuer writes (abridged):

Mr. President:

I hope you will forgive my damning you, but, sadly, you fully merit the condemnation, not only from me, but from the tens of millions who voted for you because you championed an America First policy that would stop the killing and maiming of their soldier-children in unnecessary, interventionist, and bankrupting wars. John Bolton, Mr. President, has been an advocate and architect of many of those always lost wars, he has supported them all, he will kill as many of our kids and spend as many of our dollars as are necessary to serve Israeli interests, he will leak our most classified information to the Israelis, and he will favor unnecessary wars over non-intervention in every situation he confronts.

Where has your commonsense gone, Mr. President? That characteristic was manifest on the campaign trail, but it has now ebbed away to a barely visible shadow. You could have, Sir, picked a better national security adviser than Bolton from a group of Marine gunnery sergeants. The country as whole — and most especially middle America, which provides the troops your generals and advisers use like cannon fodder — are sick of the unnecessary, interventionist wars that Bolton, the Neocons, and the Israel-Firsters love to start.
