So if we use the term "neocon" we are antisemitic?

As may readily be ascertained, simply by observing the animals in their natural habitats: avowed anti-Semites on both the left and the right regularly do precisely that -- use "neo-con" as ineptly-cheeseclothed code phrase for "Da JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS -- !"

Open and unabashed anti-Semites rush to utilize such a phrase, with the metronomic regularity of clockwork toy soldiers. THEY, apparently, feel no especial shame in doing so; no need, then, to mince words when discussing same.

So now if I use the term "neocon" I'm "singling out identifiably Jewish policymakers (Wolfowitz, Perle, etc.) as being part of a mysterious, shadowy cabal with ulterior motives." And who's the bigot here?

How on earth is it Zinni's fault that the biggest bunglers and incompetents with direct responsiblility for the current problems in Iraq happen to be neo conservative "Jooooooooos" (your word, not mine) at DOD and at the DOD OSP?

His criticisms of their machinations (to those of us who've paid attention to it) are quite fair, and if these pompous gentlemen operate under the notion that any criticism of their major league F-ups somehow equates to an attack on thier religion, then perhaps they should seek employment in fields with less responsibility, fields where their miscalculations don't result in the loss of American life and cost our Nation so greatly.

They blew it big time, they are laughinstocks deserving of every ounce of ridicule and contempt dished onto their plates. They should act with honor (a seemingly alien notion to them), accept responsibilty, and tender their collective resignations.
