'''Brent Scowcroft'' served as [[National Security Advisor]] to Presidents [[Gerald Ford]] and ][George H.W. Bush]].
[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scowcroft_Group The Scowcroft Group], a firm similiar to McLarty and Kissinger's group, also had on its board of directors Bob Strauss. Strauss rebuilt the [[Democratic party]] in the 1970s as DNC Chairman after [[George McGovern]]'s defeat. Strauss managed the 1976 Democratic convention which nominated [[Jimmy Carter]]. When Carter was elected Scowcroft was out of a job.
Scowcroft returned as National Security Adviser to President H.W. Bush in 1989. Bush Sr. appointed Bob Strauss Ambassador to the [[Soviet Union]], which in short order made Strauss the first US Ambassador to the [[Russian Federation]], setting an example to the infant [[democracy]] how a two-party system and [[bipartisan]]ship work. In 1992 when the [[Clinton]]s took the [[White House]], Scowcroft was again out of a job. Scowcroft and Bush Sr. then collaborated on a book about the end of the [[Cold War]] entitled, ''A World Transformed'', an obvious take-off of [[Henry Kissinger]]'s book on [[Prince Metternich]] ''A World Restored''.
Scowcroft is not a [[neocon]]. He was vocal in his criticism of [[George W. Bush]], [[Hillary Clinton]], and the other neocons of what they did and were doing in the [[Iraq war]].<ref>http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5146604</ref> By 2015 Hillary bowed to Scowcroft's superior wisdom on the issue,<ref>https://youtu.be/RgtQD0wRHLs</ref> and Scowcroft became an enthusiastic supporter for Hillary among [[GOP]] establishment types.<ref>http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/brent-scowcroft-endorses-hillary-clinton-224677 </ref>
Scowcroft was famously photographed toasting the butchers of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre just days later. The [[Chinese]] government killed at least 2300 of its own people and many survivors sent to the Chinese [[gulag]]. Scowcroft flew to [[Beijing]] to assure them trade agreements would remain in place (e.g, selling cheap Chinese made consumer goods at Walmart where Hillary Clinton sat on the board of directors) and there would be no sanctions.<ref>http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB16/#d33 </ref> There has not been any similiar mass pro-democracy movements in China since for nearly 30 years now.
