Neoconservatives Gain Strength in New Bush Team

[DuaneBidoux]

"The neocons are feeling quite confident right now. Things are breaking their way. A group of people who in any rational culture should be looking for other jobs are being promoted," said Jonathan Clarke of the conservative Cato Institute, co-author of a book on the neoconservative movement.

4. No doubt.

What chills me the most about this article, and many others in the past few days, is that "air strikes" and "sub-combat operations" and "incursions" are listed as "classic US foreign policy" actions.
Hello?!?
Those are NOT foreign policy actions. Those are hostile actions when foreign policy fails.

8. I am thinking the same thing.

I keep thinking they are going to do something really really dangerous and stupid right out of the chute - and not even before the inaugeration.

Well, those morANs voted for caligula or nero.... I hope they know what they are in for. Of course they don't .

9. But too many paleocons and moderates will survive

the night of the long knives.
We will have accidental allies.

14. Wow! This comes as a COMPLETE SURPRISE!!!

I totally thought George Jr. would have tried to bring us together after that divisive campaign and would really have tried to share power, not turn it over to the neo- and ultra-conservatives.

Now back to BizzaroWorld for me.
