Is the author calling Cheney and Rumsfield neo conservatives?Does wanting to get rid of Saddam make one a neoconservative?

I expect that the author is noting that both Cheney and Rumsfeld are signatories to the PNAC; that, presumably, both therefore adhere to certain positions which are essentially attributed primarily, today, to neoconservatives. This doesn't, of course, change the fact that neither Cheney nor Rumsfeld are "neo" to serving the nation in official capacities.
I would say, personally, that wanting to get rid of Saddam is not a neoconservative position. Actually acting preemptively (which I agreed with) to remove Saddam, is a neoconservative position taken to the logical conclusion.
