No Really, “Up” Means “Down”

This CFR fellow claims that by picking a team of warhawks, Obama is really pursuing a policy of peace.

It’s precisely because Obama intends to pursue a genuinely progressive foreign policy that he’s surrounding himself with people who can guard his right flank at home.

However, I can’t argue with this comment:

On key policy issues, Jones, Gates and Clinton aren’t significantly more hawkish than Obama.

because Obama is part of the military-industrial-congressional complex, not because his team is full of doves.
