Neoconservatives: New Bush Advisers Will Raise White Flag in Middle East

WASHINGTON — President Bush's nomination of Robert Gates to be secretary of defense and other recent administration moves have raised concerns and even open disdain among some members of the "neo-conservative" wing of the Republican Party, the president's most ardent war supporters.

The neo-cons say installing Gates, a career CIA analyst who served as the agency's director for two years under President George H.W. Bush, takes the administration one step closer toward repudiation of the once hailed "Bush Doctrine."

"What's happening here is essentially the end of the administration as we've known it," said Frank Gaffney, head of the Center for Security Policy and neo-conservative commentator.

"Pretty clearly, it signals a return to the 'Bush 41' policy," said Kenneth Timmerman, who heads the Foundation for the Democracy of Iran, which he founded with other prominent neo-conservatives in 1995.

1. Ding dong, the neocons are dead

And W is in charge without a clue.

[jody]

14. Neocons will never die as long as evil exists in the world. n/t

[OneBlueSky]

2. "the end of the administration as we've known it" . . .

best news I could imagine since, well, last Tuesday . . .

[lakercub]

3. Bush lost Perle too

If he loses all his supporters, it is going to get a whole lot tougher for him to stonewall investigations. I'd love to see the neocons splinter as a group, while leaving Bush utterly defenseless.

[Jawja]

16. He won't be defenseless.

Notice that Poppy's people have moved in to prop up his failing pResidency?

[aquart]

4. Blah, blah, blah.

Why is anyone even talking to these creeps?

[Eurobabe]

5. So Bush 41 got his 2nd term after all?

This is atrocious. But if it means the end of the NEO-NAZI CONS...well?

[keopeli]

6. Actually, I think they both will have had 6 years.

Maybe thinking of it in these terms helps W. sleep at night.

[Eurobabe]

7. Well, they can both share a cell at the Hague

then I'll sleep better at night.

:mad: :mad:

[Sherman A1]

12. My thoughts exactly!

Crossed my mind as i was driving home today. So they both sorta get their second term, I guess it's nice to share. Hopefully very soon we can declare victory, under cover of the Iraq Study Group's new outline and get the troops moving homeward.

[arewenotdemo]

8. Hang em high

ala El Duce.

[sandnsea]

9. From horror to just scary

Isn't this going to be great. And we have to go through the bullshit Poppy pile of shit before we can even begin discussing a real strategy to get out of there. *sigh*

[radfringe]

10. and what's wrong with being a "realist"?

But others say they are taking a wait-and-see approach before writing off the president as a "realist" convert.

It's one thing to point to a "pie in the sky" - however to get that pie, you have to build a REAL ladder

[rodeodance]

11. tsk tsk. Take a hike to a bog neocons! We lost a LONG time ago.

[BootinUp]

13. Pop open the champagne.

And go fuck yourself Gaffney.

[calimary]

20. I was going to say "SHUT THE FUCK UP, gaffney." But I like yours, too!

This asshole and kristol and adelman and perle and the rest of 'em need to SHUT UP and go sit down over there in the corner facing the wall. And STAY there.

We've heard all we need to hear from these schmucks. They were WRONG. HORRIBLY wrong. Their ideas sucked. Their recommendations stunk. Their results speak for themselves - staggeringly ABYSMAL. I think we've heard MORE than enough from these jerks. We've tried it their way, and look where we are. The proof is in the pudding, thankyouverymuch, and the pudding tastes and smells like absolute SHIT.

Feh! :grr:

[kurth]

15. The neocons ought to do the world a favor

and go hang themselves en masse.

[Evergreen Emerald]

17. Does anyone know what the "Bush Doctrine" is?

And honestly, since that group was the one who came up with this brilliant Iraq invasion plan, how can they talk with their mouths so full of crow?

[The Stranger]

18. Give them a rifle and let them stay in Iraq.

Keep repeating it back to them: "Go get a rifle and go and stay in Iraq . . . "

[DavidDvorkin]

19. When you lose a war

The white flag is the right flag to raise.

[Odin2005]

21. Paleo-Cons are telling the Neo-Cons: YOU'RE PWN3D!!!

[Miss Chybil]

22. I say, if the neocons want to fight a war, let 'em!

With their own blood and their own money.

[leftofcool]

23. If the neo-CONS like this war so much..............

they should sign up their own sons to go fight it.

left of cool

[Turbineguy]

24. A white flag?

as opposed to just raising an empty stick like Bush is doing now.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

27. Yeah it is a lame FOX News editorialisation

Anything less than war is surrender.

[wholetruth00]

25. Well, it's aout damn time!!!

[readmoreoften]

26. Lord I hope. /nt
