Trump Scews Up, Appoints Conrad Poos to Peace Panel
Timothy Birdnow
I wonder about Trump's personnel decisions sometimes. Choosing the former Labour Prime Minister and refugee from a Monty Python sketch is just a terrible idea.
If anyone is a candidate for "upper middle class twit of the Year" it's Mr. Blair. He is basically Conrad Poos and his dancing teeth.
Along with Blair Trump has appointed to his "Peace Council" World Bank President Ajay Banga, an Indian-born American businessman; billionaire US financier Marc Rowan and other deep state/internationalist types, the very people from whom we are trying to rid ourselves.
You may remember that Tony Blair was one of the principle architects of the "Roadmap to Peace" in 2002, which only made things worse. The cornerstone of that plan was the creation of a Palestinian state - something untenable to Israeli security as it would only be a weapons platform to attack Israel. Yet he believed in that deeply. It's a fool's game.
There is no reason to believe Blair will offer any new ideas to a situation that has been essentially stagnant for decades. The "peace process" has been little more than a huge exercise in diplomatic onanism with nothing to show for it. Blair presents more of the same.
Not sure what Trump is doing with this but he seems to not see that putting someone who is opposed to his value set and ideas in a position of authority is setting himself up for failure. Trump has a huge blind spot in that regard.
