This might help ....
The story of how neoconservatives (Cabal(?)) took over Washington and steered the U.S. into a Middle Eastern war unrelated to any plausible threat to the U.S., is here.
President Bush seems genuinely to believe that there was an imminent threat to the U.S. from Saddam Hussein's "weapons of mass destruction," something the leading neocons say in public but are far too intelligent to believe themselves. The Project for the New American Century urged an invasion of Iraq throughout the Clinton years, for reasons that had nothing to do with possible links between Saddam and Osama bin Laden.
Whatever you make out of this, its an interesting read, isnt it?

The "Cabal" is the name the neocons gave themselves. Formerly Troskyite leftists turned conservative right wings, their character has not changed. Most of them were students and admirers of Leon Strauss, hence their nickname "leo-cons." Apparently, most of America doesn't know about this group of people mostly associated with the Defense Department. How could they?! Most of America watches the heavily "edited" news networks, some of which (Fox) can be considered government mouthpieces.

I appreciate both your reply and kostas.
I don't have any knowledge of neo conservatism. Any other pertinent links or articles that you could recommend?
