There no point in either Iraq war.

Anyone who declares themselves or is a “neo-con” should be immediately purged from the conservative movement as everything they have advocated for the last 15+ years has been wrong.

Bolton, Wolfowitz, Kristol, Cheney, etc should never be listened to again. Listening to them cost us trillions of dollars, thousands of lives, more expensive gas and has gotten us nowhere strategically.

Halliburton and Carlyle Group did quite well though

And has contributed to the violent destruction of Christian communities throughout the islamic world. Pointing this out 10 years ago would have got you purged from this forum, pursued by a pack of mad dogs howling for your blood.

It is good to see some people have finally recovered from this madness.

[quote]Anyone who declares themselves or is a “neo-con” should be immediately purged from the conservative movement as everything they have advocated for the last 15+ years has been wrong.[/quote] Perhaps the neoconservatives can return to the Democratic party where they rightly belong. Bill Kristol can then whisper all he likes in Obama's ear about putting US troops on the ground in Syria or whatnot.

Remember, not only were neoconservatives behind the Bush administration's misguided and mostly failed crusade for "global democracy," they also represent the most vocal advocates of liberal immigration policy (amnesty and de facto open borders) in the GOP. Get rid of them and the Republican party will return to sanity and electability.
