Battle Splits Conservative Magazine

From NYT Week in Review, 3/13/05

"For the decade since its founding by the neoconservative thinker Irving Kristol, The National Interest has been a central forum for the most influential conservative foreign policy thinkers of all stripes to hash out their differences.

Now, however, a philosophical disagreement within its editorial board has put its future in turmoil. On Friday, 10 well-known board members, including the conservatives Midge Decter, Samuel P. Huntington and Francis Fukuyama, announced their resignations, saying they disagreed with the realist foreign policy of its new owner, the Nixon Center.
The mass resignation is the latest round in a fierce debate on the right over the (Iraq) invasion.
Upon receiving the letter, the publishers of the journal sent their own letter dissolving the advisory board, which had two remaining members, the neoconservative columnists Charles Krauthammer and Daniel Pipes. "I think this group, frankly, belongs to the past" said Mr. Simes. (president of the center and co-publisher of the journal).

Nixon Center President on Neocons: "This group belongs to the past"
Looks like we're not the only ones sick of neocon failure.

1. Referring to Krauthammer & Pipes as "thinkers" is like....

...referring to Britney Spears as a poet.

Those fucking bastards don't think, they hate.

2. Doesn't this just crack you up...

unless it makes you sick..

""In the wake of Iraq, I think there is going to be this fight over what a certain conservative foreign policy is, and I personally don't want to see the realists walking about with a lot of moral authority at this point," Mr. Fukuyama said."

Oh no, of course no... we can't have any "realists walking about"... we gotta have neoconservative fantasy utopian fictionists, they're the ones with the "moral authority" ... :nuke:



What planet are those people from, anyway????? Grrrrrrrrrr....

:spank:


Kudos to the Nixon Center for getting rid of them.

3. Wow - neocons are even scaring scarry people!

Reminds me of what Nixon said to Kissenger one day at the WH: "that guy Rumsfield give me the creeps - can we fire him?"

Even Nixon was afraid!!!

4. That sounds like a ringing endorsement for the Bush Clan
