I think Jacoby should have left this one alone. He just sounds sensitive and offended and defensive.

When I hear Bill Kristol spout off about "hegemony" I sometimes hear clucking in the background.

But my gripe with the neocons comes from what happened in the Balkans and how they never seem to have to answer for their helpfulness to Wesley Clark, Biden, Albright, McCain in turning over so much territory to the Muslims.

The jibe of "chickenhawk" has sticking power--if it didn't, the neocons wouldn't be so intent on playing jocksniffer to John McCain. His war record gives them cover.

I normally avoid this stuff, not even sure what a neo-con is supposed to be.
But the lady has nailed this one as well as it can be nailed:
the contrast/hypocracy/selective memory is (or are) repulsive.

PS: Lincoln ran through a bucket full of generals before he found Grant, his main strengths were tenacity & willingness to ignore intended restraints ... not uncommon in megalomania.

IMO, the self-described "paleocons" are part of the pantywaist/traitor problem. And if warfare takes our Army to the point of recruiting older soldiers again, I'll be as happy to kill Euro-fascists/neo-Nazis/Islamo-fascists as to kill commies.
