War over the Wonks: Advisors to Presidential Candidates
Washington Post list of foreign policy advisors to prominent Dem and Repub candidates. Some interesting names. Good to know when we read future op-eds exactly who is primping for who.
Addendum
Rep. Ron Paul
* Not authoritative.
Every Thursday, Paul is the host of a luncheon for a circle of conservative Republicans that he calls the Liberty Caucus. It has become the epicenter of antiwar Republicanism in Washington. One stalwart member is Walter Jones, the North Carolina Republican who during the debate over Iraq suggested renaming French fries “freedom fries” in the House dining room, but who has passed the years since in vocal opposition to the war. Another is John (Jimmy) Duncan of Tennessee, the only Republican besides Paul who voted against the war and remains in the House. Other regulars include Virgil Goode of Virginia, Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland and Scott Garrett of New Jersey. Zach Wamp of Tennessee and Jeff Flake, the Arizonan scourge of pork-barrel spending, visit occasionally. Not all are antiwar, but many of the speakers Paul invites are: the former C.I.A. analyst Michael Scheuer, the intelligence-world journalist James Bamford and such disillusioned United States Army officers as William Odom, Gregory Newbold and Lawrence Wilkerson (Colin Powell’s former chief of staff), among others.

Looks like Obama is set if he needs the uniforms of his campaigners redesigned. McPeak is an expert.
Also looks as if McCain has all the Iowa vet advice anyone could possibly use.

"On the plains and mountains of the American West, the United States Army had once learned everything there was to learn about hit-and-run tactics and guerrilla warfare."
T.R. Fehrenbach This Kind of War
I'm glad to see that General Newbold got promoted to being a former Army officer.
Mayor Rudy
I especially liked the indepth stable of military/national security experts Major Rudy has lined up: none.
Tom
I define myself as a badly disgruntled moderate Republican who is undecided in this race. When I saw Norman Podhoretz on the list, I knew I could not support Giuliani.
Vote For Goesh
I'll vote for any man or woman who will simply send the FBI into the Paki frontier with warrants and arrest Bin Laden. Global terrorism is after all a simple matter of law and order..right? The threat of American Jurisprudence has most impoverished, misguided Islamic youth, who the racist Bush calls terrorists, on the run already. If you were such a youth, wouldn't you dread the thought of spending 10-20 years in a climate controled cell with your Quran and prayer rug, access to a mosque, full and free legal represenstation, halal food, conjugal visits, good excercise equipment, a fully stocked library and law library, opportunities for education, color tv, videos, stero, radios, a commissary, complete medical and dental care, low rent housing, free medical care and food stamps for your family? It's about over what with that kind of potential retribution hanging over their poor heads - all that needs to be done is establish Dem control of the House, Senate and Presidency. I might even run for Prez myself using the Dem platform on terrorism as my own.
