...since he supported John McCain in 2000.

Correct, the neo-cons supported McCain, not Bush. That the objectives of the neo-cons converged with the Bush administration's concern for national security on the issue of Iraq, does not make the President a neo-con.

If that were the only issue on which their objectives "converged," you might have a point. The problem is that the objectives of the neo-cons also converged with the Bush administration on just about every other hot-button issue that p!sses off real conservatives, too (open borders, massive increases in government spending, etc.).

It is hard to find the application of a consistent philosophy in the Bush administration. His foriegn policy does seems very Wilsonian to me, trade policy appears globalist, domestic policy appears socialist but his appointment to the court, UN, etc appear conservative, so I am at a lost to understand just what the Bush admin is.
