I did look it up kiddy, just to make sure i was right on what a Neo-Con is!, all I have to do is look at the Bush Administration and see what a neo-con is...

Neoconservatism refers to the political movement, ideology, and public policy goals of "new conservatives" in the United States, who are mainly characterized by their relatively interventionist and hawkish views on foreign policy, and their lack of support for the "small government" principles and restrictions on social spending, when compared with other American conservatives such as traditional or paleoconservatives.

In the context of U.S. foreign policy, neoconservative has another, narrower definition: one who advocates the use of military force, unilaterally if necessary, to replace autocratic regimes with democratic ones. This view competes with liberal internationalism, realism, and non-interventionism.

The prefix "neo" can denote that many of the movement's founders, originally liberals, Democrats or from socialist backgrounds, were new to conservatism, but can also refer to the comparatively recent emergence of this "new wave" of conservative thought, which coalesced in the early 1970s from a variety of intellectual roots in the decades following World War II. It also serves to distinguish the ideology from the viewpoints of "old" or traditional American conservatism.

Modern neoconservatism is associated with periodicals such as Commentary and The Weekly Standard and some of the foreign policy initiatives of think tanks such as the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). Neoconservative journalists, pundits, policy analysts, and politicians, often dubbed "neocons" by supporters and critics alike, have been credited with (or blamed for) their influence on U.S. foreign policy, especially under the administrations of Ronald Reagan (1981-1989) and George W. Bush (2001-present), and are particularly noted for their association with and support for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. The term "neocon", while increasingly popular in recent years, is somewhat controversial and is rejected by many to whom the label is applied

I figured you would say that. Bush is far from a Neo-Con and as a matter of fact. real right-wingers hate W. Read a book sometime.

I do love your liberal definition of non-interventionism.LOL. You got that right. Sit around with your thumbs up your asses while people are slaughterd and genocide ravages Africa (Rawanda). Not to mention letting your own citizens be slaughtered by terrorists in 4 seperate attacks on our country, (1st world trade attack), in foreign countries,( Kenya AND Tanzania) and our military,(U.S.S. Cole). Thats why liberals have no power anymore and will never be trusted with national security again. Good Job Guys!!

Ya i forgot bush is just a fascist monkey and you all praise him saying, ol save me from the evil brown terrorist LordBushler.......
If this were a dictatorship it be heck of alot easier just so long as im the dictator-GWBushiter

And most of his administration are part of the PNAC plan which is very Neo-conservatived......

It is chilling to read this statement from January 1998, for it makes exactly the argument, in regard to Iraq, that was pushed by Bush and his media supporters in 2003. It seems clear that Bush came into office in January 2001 with the intention stated in the letter.

THE CAST HE CHOSEâ??Among the 18 signers to this pro-Iraq-war letter were nine people who Bush promptly appointed to federal positions. A signer and a PNAC founder, Donald Rumsfeld, was named Bush's Secretary of Defense on December 11, 2000, before the inauguration. Vice President Cheney was also a PNAC founder.

Throughout the months leading up to September 11, 2001, Bush consistently chose PNAC networkers, focused on Iraq, over nonpartisan security experts for top security positions.

Bush announced the appointment of PNAC signer Robert B. Zoellick as the U.S. Trade Representativethe president's principal trade adviserâ??on January 11, 2001. Paul D. Wolfowitz was named Deputy Secretary of Defense on February 5. Richard L. Armitage was appointed Deputy Secretary of State on February 12. Dov S. Zakheim became Comptroller at the Defense Department on February 12. And John R. Bolton was picked as Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security Affairs at the State Department on February 21. PNAC people, all.

Dov Zakheim, the Pentagon Comptroller, is responsible for overseeing contracts for the reconstruction of Iraq. Zakheim recently defended Halliburton's handling of its Iraq contracts in testimony before a Congressional panel. His sympathetic testimony is posted on Halliburton's website, www.halliburton.com.

Within a month of assuming the presidency, Bush thus gave control of pertinent positions in the executive branch to hawks with the none-too-subtle agenda of invading Iraq. Former White House terrorism adviser Richard Clarke testified before the 9/11 Commission that the Bush II administration came into office wanting to pick up where the Bush I White House left off. Clarke was attacked at the 9/11 hearing by Commissioner John F. Lehman, also a PNAC signer.

In February 2001, the New Republic mentioned that "Vice President Dick Cheney has quietly been stocking the Defense Department with outspoken interventionists. . . . Cheney has effectively created his own foreign policy apparatus, installing his protégés (and, in the case of Donald Rumsfeld, his mentor) at the Defense Department and the White House." It noted that "many of Cheney's protégés are known for their willingness to use military force." The New York Times ran only a three-line note on Bush appointees who supported invading Iraq.

THEY KEPT COMINGâ??By the end of May 2001, PNAC members also held sensitive positions in the State Department's global affairs division and the Pentagon's Office of International Security Policy. PNAC signatory Peter W. Rodman was appointed to the International Security Affairs office in the Defense Department. Rodman, an assistant to Henry Kissinger in the Nixon and Ford administrations, worked in the State Department and the National Security Council (NSC) in the Reagan and first Bush administrations, and was more recently the director of National Security Programs at the Nixon Center, a conservative think tank.

The National Security Council was similarly politicized. Bush appointed the PNAC signer Dr. Zalmay Khalilzad to the National Security Council on May 23, and signer Elliott Abrams to the NSC on June 25. Khalilzad worked at the Pentagon under former President Bush and went to the Rand Corporation, a major military contractor, in the 1990s. Born in Afghanistan, he was also a consultant to U.S. oil company Unocal, which attempted for several years to launch a giant pipeline deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Khalilzad is now the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan. Abrams is the NSC representative for Middle Eastern Affairs.

Other signers of Project for the New American Century's letters and statements have been appointed to federal positions. Thus a tax-exempt organization connected to previous G.O.P. administrations, to military contractors and to foreign countries has continued a 10-year project to get the U.S. into war with Iraq.
