This also doesn't make sense as it borders on 9/11 "truth"erism, and refers to an essentially defunct organization (PNAC) and there's no neoconservative influence on the current administration*. It's not 2003 anymore.

*Being hawkish and being a neoconservative are not the same thing, McCain and Lindsey Graham for example are not neoconservatives by any meaningful definition of the word even if their foreign policy views are horrible and default to warmongering. "Neoconservative" is actually a very narrow term in who it refers to, the co-opting of it by some liberals to mean "Anyone more hawkish than me" or by paleoconservatives and libertarians to essentially mean "anyone I disagree with" is a grammatical atrocity. There isn't even really anyone in elected office who could accurately be called a neoconservative, the closest person to one was Joe Lieberman, but he's no longer in elected office either.

What?  BRTD, first you say neoconservatism is an ideology just like Nazism and Stalinism, and now you say it only applies to a small group of people that includes Joe Lieberman but not John McCain for some reason (I can think of a reason but it doesn't go with your "discredited ideology" statement).  Could you give us your definition of neoconservatism for us so we can tell what you are talking about?
