A group more powerful than PNAC?

[ck4829]

New Citizenship Project (also New Citizenship Project, Inc.) is a non-profit 501c3 organization funded by the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the John M. Olin Foundation and the Bradley Foundation. Founded in 1994, NCP initiated the Project for the New American Century, one of the key behind-the-scenes architects of the Bush administration's foreign policy. According to his senate biography, John McCain supported John Walters for "drug czar" in 2001. John Walters served as a president of NCP, "an organization created to promote greater civic participation in our national life."

1. *Somebody* is giving the orders...

It's pathetically obvious "Il Duce" isn't making the decisions. Or even his "inner circle" for that matter...

2. Just like it was with the raygun administration

they really came into power with nixon, and they threw him overboard too. nixon could think for himself, ronnie or georgie not a chance.

7. Umm....

I beg to differ. Raygun was brain dead from the beginning. Georgie was the one pulling the strings. I bet he was the real one behind Iran-Contra.

9. Don't make me laugh with my mouth full

it gets food particles all over my desk. Sorry georgie ain't never and won't ever pull any strings.

4. I can't figure out the organizational-flow chart...

On one hand, you've got your bloodthirsty, warmongering neocons.

On the other hand, you've got Junior--who has carried out their wishes.

Then on another hand (yes, three hands!), you've got "conservatives" who aren't
necessarily neocons. They don't seem to agree with Junior on his Iraq-war stance and on his irresponsible federal spending. It feels like his daddy is in this group.

However, in daddy's group is Baker and team. However, I thought those boys were also
neocons.

Recently, you've got a segment of the neocons (Gingrich, Kristol, etc) who are complaining that we're not killing and provoking war fast enough. They're not happy with Junior's feet dragging
on Iran.

So, if Junior is ticking off the neocons AND his father's conservative ilk--what IS Junior?

Evil can be very complicated, I guess.

8. I don't know, but they have their hands all over Florida.

There is a council member that sits on the Fat Cat tax incentives board down here.
