So, is Mittens the BushCo candidate this round?

Today's news that General Vides Cassanova, the Minister of Defense in El Salvador at the time those four American church women were murdered, is being extradicted to face charges reminded me that Bain Capital was partially funded by one of El Salvador's blood soaked oligarchs who also funded death squads:

The roots of Bain Capital in El Salvador’s civil war
Romney tapped El Salvador's wealthy families, including one linked to right-wing death squads
http://www.salon.com/2012/01/20/the_roots_of_bain_capital_in_el_salvador/

Those would be, right wing death squads carrying out Poppy Bush's program in El Salvador but also in Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and later, Panama.

So, is Mitt BushCo's dog in this fight? The Salon article talks about the oligarchs in El Salvador who funded death squads but doesn't draw the logical connection to the oligarchs here whose policy those death squads were implementing, namely BushCo.

And I have absolutely no doubt that Bushco pointed him to the right oligarchs for his initial capital. One hand washes the other, so ... who benefits if Rmoney wins?

And keep the road clear for Jeb down the road.

Even if he doesn't win, they keep a hand in.

I've been wondering who becomes Godfather when Poppy is out of the action in some way. And he seemed to be "sundowning" the last few times he appeared in public so, that may be now.

Maybe Octafish will have more to add. I'm going to try to ask Greg Grandin about this in the next few days.
