Frustrated Neocons, Former U.N. Weapons Head Blix Assess Year of War on Iraq by Ian Williams

Perle, Chalabi and their fellow travelers seek to reduce the chances of the U.N. playing a meaningful role in Iraqi sovereignty—a role that certainly would inhibit the chances of Chalabi playing a major role in an independent Iraq, since it is clear that he has little or no constituency there.

Serving Two Flags: Neocons, Israel and the Bush Administration by Stephen Green

Since 9/11, a small group of “neoconservatives” in the administration have effectively gutted—they would say reformed—traditional American foreign and security policy. Features of the new Bush doctrine include the pre-emptive use of unilateral force, and the undermining of the United Nations and the principle instruments and institutions of international law...all in the cause of fighting terrorism and promoting homeland security.

Neocons Battle Against U.S. Rapprochement With Iran by Andrew I. Killgore

Bush administration “realists” and “neoconservatives” are engaged in a fierce internal debate over Iran’s overtures to improve relations with the United States, according to the March 17 Financial Times. Nearly two years ago, former Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani suggested that Iran-U.S. relations could be put to a referendum—a move almost sure to win approval from the Iranian people.

The blame shuffle in Iraq by Arnaud de Borchgrave

In October 1998, following a major lobbying effort by the neocons, Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, the "Iraqi Liberation Act," which provided funding - and Uncle Sam's stamp of good geopolitical housekeeping - for Ahmed Chalabi's INC, as well as five other exile groups.

To Neocons, Reality Is 'Treason' by Paul Craig Roberts

American conservatism was killed by the September 11 terrorist attack on the US. Overnight conservatives became neoconservatives, determined to protect America by remaking the world in our image. Neocons are not conservative. They are, as Professor Claes Ryn has conclusively shown, neo-Jacobins.

Nobody but Neocons Created Lynndie by Mary Riddell

The neocons who talked up this conflict helped create Lynndie. So did those who, like Colin Powell and much of the parliamentary Labour Party, failed fully to voice their doubts. Hers is not a parable of vicious women or bad-apple soldiers. It is not a cue card to remind ourselves that the Baathist atrocities of old would have seemed much worse than this, if only they had lent themselves to a Kodak moment.

Dirty Nukes and Jefferson's Grand Experiment by Kurt Nimmo

Four more years — or maybe four more decades.

Now that would give the neocons and their Likudnik bosses enough time to "reshape" the Arab Middle East. But don't take my word for it — go ask Charles Krauthammer or Richard Perle or that wild and crazy total war guy, Michael Ledeen.

Who's Responsible for the Iraqi Prisoner Abuse? by Harry Browne

If anyone is responsible for the atrocities that were recently revealed, it is the person that decided to send 150,000 Americans to a desolate area to kill or be killed.

America`s shame & shock in Iraq by INDER MALHOTRA

Shouldn’t the “neocons” ask themselves what kind of impression these images have made in the Islamic world in general, the Arab nations in particular and, above all, on the Iraqis themselves?

Limbaugh on Torturing Iraqis: U.S Guards Were Just "Having a Good Time" by Paul Joseph Watson

Neo-Con talk show hosts across the country from Limbaugh to Michael Savage are making outbursts on a daily basis that would make Adolph Hitler or Joseph Stalin blush. Savage openly calls for putting anyone who criticizes the government in a forced labor camp.

How Ahmed Chalabi Conned the Neocons by John Dizard

This lengthly article is written by a writer for the Financial Times. Apparently, there is more to Chalabi that meets the eye and if anything, this article shows that the neo-cons are even stupider than we previously thought.

Echo of the Neocons at Abu Gharib by Fawaz Turki

In the end, however, after this furor has quieted down, the bad guys here will turn out to be not those kids who didn’t know from a hole in the wall what they were doing but the neoconservative elite in government, with their sick fixation on power, pursuing the mirage of imperial purpose and manipulating a clueless president into going to war in Iraq on the flimsiest of excuses.

Bush's Cakewalk into the Iraq Quagmire by GILBERT ACHCAR

In other words, its main concern was to establish in that area a long-term presence of troops, far beyond whatever time was needed to get rid of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. For that, a convenient pretext had to be given. The "neoconservative" discourse on democracy provided it, or at least it was deemed most appropriate for the purpose.

From power to paralyzing fear

These thinkers, dubbed neoconservatives and nicknamed “neocons,” had no time for the gentility of classic conservatism and no tolerance for the idea that privilege was best put to the service of a broad common good. Any notion of “international cooperation” betrayed weakness of resolve.

Bush's Mission in Iraq Remains Unaccomplished by Dilip Hiro

The neocons in the Pentagon even suppressed Reconstructing Iraq, a monograph written by the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute because it forecast in detail "possible severe security difficulties" and conflicts among Iraqis that the US forces could "barely comprehend."

October, 1992: What King George Didn't Say About Iraq on TV in Cincinnati by Mark Dankof

Liberty Post reminds readers of Mark Dankof's October 1992 analysis of Dubya's Cincinnati speech urging preemptive war on Iraq and subsequent American military occupation of that country. Now, 19 months later, and in the midst of the Abu Ghraib prison atrocities and a losing PR and guerrilla war, the message coming from the American people to Bush should be crystal clear: General Janice Karpinski gets a court-martial and prison, along with all relevant cohorts. And in the first Tuesday in November, the Anybody But Bush Brigade should pull levers for Michael Peroutka on the Right, and either Kerry or Nader on the Left, to throw the War for Empire and Israel Crowd out on its hind end, once and for all.

Neoconservatives Are Anti-American by Paul Craig Roberts

Americans must understand that the neo-Jacobin spirit that guides the Bush administration is anti-American. It is not unpatriotic to resist this spirit.

Which American? by Claes G. Ryn

The new imperialistic ego is shrugging free of the old American self and corresponding constitutional restraints. The desire for self-aggrandizement has transformed limited, decentralized American government into a national Superstate, which has given the will to power a scope far beyond the worst fears of the anti-Federalists.

Neoconservatives Are Anti-American by Paul Craig Roberts

Americans must understand that the neo-Jacobin spirit that guides the Bush administration is anti-American. It is not unpatriotic to resist this spirit. It is the same evil spirit that motivated Deutschland uber alles (Germany over all). Just as the Nazi claim to be the master race trumped all traditional moral standards, the neoconservatives claim that America is uniquely virtuous justifies America’s domination over the rest of the world.

Horrid Thoughts About Horrid Leaders by Bernard Weiner

Since Bush&Co. have placed all their chips on Israel in that Middle East struggle, Sharon's Likud-led government considers that it has carte blanche to pacify and control that area however it wants. Bush&Co. simply refuse to comprehend (or care) that the U.S. and Israel are pouring gasoline on the smoldering fire of Arabic and Islamic resentment across the globe.

Has Islam become the issue? by Spengler

Now that the neo-conservatives have taken instruction in matters of theology, what policy consequences might ensue? Will they continue to counsel President George W Bush that democracy can be whipped up Iraqi-style like a round of instant falafel?

Conservatives after the Cold War by Corey Robin

Over the course of our conversations, however, it became clear that Buckley and Kristol were less interested in these ex-conservatives than they were in the sorry state of the conservative movement and the uncertain fate of the United States as a global imperial power.

The Dark Heart of Neoconservatism by Corey Robin

Sept. 11 has given the neocons an opportunity to articulate, without embarrassment, the vision of imperial American power that they have been harboring for years. Unlike empires past, this one will be guided by a benevolent goal -- worldwide improvement -- and therefore will not generate the backlash previous empires have generated.

Mark Dankof's Gift to Faithful LibertyPost and BATR readers

Before its publication and distribution in bookstores, Mark Dankof offers LibertyPost.org and BATR readers access to his manuscript entitled "A Summer of A Thousand Nights: From Tehran to Susa." The first half of the book is comprised of his diary kept in the summer of 1976 in Tehran in the waning days of the Pahlavi Dynasty before the advent of the Islamic Revolution. The second half of the book offers more recent observations on the evil character of War and Empire in the interest of False Babylon and False Israel. And another bonus--he reminds the readers in Part Two, chapter 13 who really killed Jonas Savimbi of UNITA in Angola--and why.

Neocons, Nihilists and Annihilation by CHRIS FLOYD

The folly, fantasy and death-fetish of the Bush Regime -- long evident to anyone who cared to see -- were finally "revealed" in the mainstream media recently by the quasi-official Establishment oracle, Bob Woodward.
