"With the fall of Donald Rumsfeld, on whom the neocons tried to blame the mismanaged Iraq War........" Excuse me, but weren't neocons in lockstep with Rummy?

Back in 2004 pukeneo Billy Kristol calculatedly attacked Rummy----as a thinly-disguised, back-door attack on then-President Bush------just more of the anti-America rhetoric neocons regularly engage in.

It did not escape conservatives' notice that Bill Kristol's gleeful attack on Sec Rumsfield was a carefully constructed attack on Mr Bush............ and on conservative thought.

Kristol's backhanded hectoring of Mr Bush and his administration was unconscionable.

Such undermining of a president (from one who claimed to be a Republican) did not exist even in the flawed Clinton administration and certainly not to the degree approaching that neocons visited on Pres Bush by a group that purports to be in its corner-----the neocon cabal.

====================================

WISHFUL THINKING Kristol recently announced "conservatisn is dead." Citing an extremist like Kristol as if he speaks for conservatives is silly and will not be tolerated. Course, it's always difficult to determine which country Bill Kristol is defending, and what motivation drives his elliptical thinking, and convoluted thoughts.

What Americans wanted to know---and what President Bush should have found out----exactly who was "tasking" Kristol to attack Sec Don Rumsfeld.

For a president who values loyalty, Mr Bush must have been pained that neocons showed their true stripes........and demonstrated that they cannot be trusted.

Neocons were the ones manufacturing forged Niger documents, and other legerdemain, to goad the US into toppling the Iraq regime. Then neocons came out against the Iraq conflict altogether and gleefully lacerated Rummy and Bush.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

Heh. Over time, I came to that same conclusion - like: “Who the heck is this guy, anyway?”

I'm baffled ?!?!
Here we are in 2009 and I'm reading all these -- "What's A Neocon"? -- comments.
and 'stuff' like.. "What's so bad about neocons?"

Well, if FReepers don't know by now about these blood sucking, traitorous, COWARDLY 'neocons' by now -- and how they lied to Dubya ('Axis of Evil', Frum), conspired to con Rummy (no pun) on going to war (Richard Perle), forged documents (Doug Feith) and gave them to Condi when she was NSA to back up their war meme -- I give up.

Neocons are self serving scum. They should be shunned like lepers and told to go back to the democratic party, whence they came. A Neocon's loyalty is only to themselves and their bank account.

And NOW the Neo's are on the Open Border, 'cheap labor', Bandwagon (Billy Kristol). All while AMERICANS are losing jobs and their homes

Neocons are utterly despicable.

And Richard Perle and Doug Feith should be sitting in a Prison Cell!
