'McCain's neocon warmonger'
Pat Buchanan has launched a strong attack on John McCain and his foreign policy adviser. "Scheunemann is a 'dual loyalist,' 'neocon warmonger' involved in activities that 'none dare call treason'" is his assessment of Randy Scheuneman's lobbying ties with Georgia and other foreign interests.

He is a dual loyalist, a foreign agent whose assignment is to get America committed to spilling the blood of her sons for client regimes who have made this moral mercenary a rich man..
..."Most important, Scheunemann's former lobbying firm, Orion Strategies, received at lest $800,000 from the government of Georgia between 2004 and May 15, 2008, when Scheunemann finally severed his ties -- officially, at least -- to the firm," notes The Nation. "Before that, between January 1, 2007, and May 15, 2008, Scheunemann was officially on the payroll as both Georgia's lobbyist and McCain's top adviser, during which time Georgia paid Orion and $290,000 and McCain paid him $70,000."
...In addition, Scheunemann served as executive director of Ahmad Chalabi's group, "The Committee for Liberation of Iraq," a pro-war organization formed in 2002. Chalabi, once dubbed the "George Washington of Iraq," has since been accused of providing false information to US authorities and is currently under investigation.

Scheunemann's ties to Chalabi are especially suspect because the US has accused Chalabi of being an agent for Iran among other claims.
