UPDATED: [AUDIO] Experts Comment on Pawlenty's Foreign Policy Approach, GOP Divide
Posted by The Editors

In response to GOP presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty's major foreign policy speech addressing the Arab Spring at the Council on Foreign Relations, which only exposed the deepening divisions among conservatives on national security, the Center for American Progress and the National Security Network held a press call today with Dr. Lawrence Korb, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund and former Assistant Secretary of Defense; Ken Gude, Managing Director of the National Security and International Policy Program at the Center for American Progress Action Fund; Peter Juul, Policy Analyst at the Center for American Progress Action Fund; and Heather Hurlburt, Executive Director of the National Security Network.

Listen to the call here.

Eager to eschew the label of neoconservative, but unable to come to terms with the disastrous legacy of the Bush-Cheney-McCain foreign policy, today Pawlenty chastised his fellow candidates for flirting with isolationism but only offered a confused and incoherent mix of attacks on President Obama that betrayed his lack of national security experience.  As the experts on today's call discussed, Tim Pawlenty's plan and his approach to U.S. foreign policy, as laid out in his speech, are indicative of a larger cleavage in the Right's approach to foreign policy.

Highlights from the call:

  • NSN’s Heather Hurlburt likened the current GOP disarray on foreign policy to Democrats in 1968 when they abandoned their party’s foreign policy establishment.
  • CAP Action’s Ken Gude: "When you dig into the details of Tim Pawlenty's speech here today, you really get a stark assessment of what [Republicans] are trying to do—and it's pretty much a shambles."
  • Former Reagan administration Defense official Larry Korb, noting that he was “the last living Eisenhower Republican," said: “Pawlenty doesn’t even understand the Republican party history…he is confusing isolationism with realism.”

Several National Security Network reports and op-eds -including "Results vs Distractions," "Should Congress Shut Up?: 2012 and the Foreign Policy Debate" and NSN Special Advisor Maj. Gen. (ret.) Paul D. Eaton's "The Conservative Defense Myth"- as well as the Center for American Progress report, "Conservatives Crack Up on Foreign Policy," similarly explore the widening rift among conservative elites as the prospective presidential grope for a coherent policy framework. Given the conservative foreign policy establishment's aggressive policing of wayward statements from the candidates, it is likely that conservatives are heading into an even bigger fight over the nature and scope of their ideological coalition's foreign policy as the campaign season heats up.

*This post was updated to include call highlights and a newly posted NSN report, "Results vs Distractions."
