The attacks on their foreign policy views by Frum et al. are a desperate bid to make them seem unacceptable to party and movement leaders in order to derail Tea Party advocacy of libertarian and small-government conservative economic and domestic policies...Most of what Frum has been doing for the last several years and the purpose of his website have been to move the GOP and the movement to the left on most domestic policies.

*Ping!*

Many people don't seem to understand that the neocons come from both sides of Republican spectrum, Social conservatives and social Liberals (RINOs) -- but the one and ONLY THING that they agree on is Liberal military Interventionism. Neocons can disagree on domestic social policy all they want, but an aggressive, militaristic foreign policy is the "glue" that binds these Social Conservatives and Social Liberals together, even if it is not a Conservative foreign policy at all.

This author also wrote an interesting piece on why Neocons mostly agree with Obama's strategy for Iraq: "Yes, Obama Is A Liberal Internationalist"

"Whenever Obama reminds us that he is a hawkish liberal internationalist, neoconservatives and hawks gasp in amazement (and try to take credit) and many of his supporters express dismay at the “betrayal” they have experienced. It is understandable why some neoconservatives would want to treat Obama’s liberal internationalism as a result of “going neocon,” because as long as Democratic leaders adhere to something close to a pre-1968/post-1992 liberal internationalist foreign policy neoconservatism has no reason to exist, except perhaps as the distorted echo of liberal internationalism that it has always been."
