My brother asked him quite a baited question last Friday when he was in Dubuque. Basically, he asked him, "Being that you were an asterick in the polls, and that after you met with the Council on Foreign Relations that has changed, what is your impression of the Council on Foreign Relations?"
And as usual, Huckabee opens his mouth and betrays himself.
First he said that him and
Richard Haass(President of Council on Foreign Relations) are close friends, and then he goes on to say that a lot of people misunderstand the Council on Foreign Relations and says that Richard Haass believes strongly in national sovereignty and on and on. Well, here are some quotes from Richard Haass:
"... states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function."
"Some governments are prepared to give up elements of sovereignty to address the threat of global climate change."
"... sovereignty must be redefined if states are to cope with globalization."
"Globalization thus implies that sovereignty... needs to become weaker."
"States would be wise to weaken sovereignty in order to protect themselves..."
