Elliot Abrams may get the number 2 position at the State Dept????????

You have to be kidding me. Let's review.

Plead GUILTY to lying to Congress about the Iran-Contra Deal. Pardoned by G.H.W. Bush

Collaborated with the Guatemalan government in waging war and ethnic cleansing of an indigenous native population.

Generally has been a card carrying neocon over the years which gave us Iran-Contra and the other shameful entanglements in Central America during the Reagan administration, not to mention George W. Bush's Iraq invasion based on the false premise of WMDs.
