Youre right, much longer than the Bush administration. Those nasty neocons Pearle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Leeden, and others (like uncounted neocons like Cheney, Rumsfeld , Rice and Powell, they dont fit the conspiracy theories) date back to the Reagan administration, when they were confronting the previous Evil Empire, which they defeated. I hope they do it again, even at the risk of upsetting Abu Pat and his brigadiers.
:-P
