    neoconservative? sounds more neoliberal to me

    stridently pro-gun-control, pro-choice, socially liberal... combat-avoiding, Bush-supporting, Middle-East-warmonger who sees U.S. and Israeli interests as indistinguishable and inextricably linked, with a fetish for ever-increasing government control and surveillance, and a background as a Wall St. billionaire.

    way to describe the status quo, lol. Take big government from both sides and put them together, what's that spell? Compromise!

    You don't have to be a neocon to be a warmonger, although you do have to be a warmonger to be a neocon. An Israel-first interventionist uber-statist warmonger who wants to control your behavior, sounds like the perfect super nanny to lead the sheep in the welfare/warfare police state.

    I wonder if he supports an investigation into the assassination of Bhutto? You know, since it is our business and everything... So is Russia going to launch an independent investigation into who killed Martin Luther King? I'm sure the findings will be that OBL and friends were involved, and we will send Pakistan more money and further intervene over there. The money will be used by Mr. Military Dictator to be a Military Dictator, and hey, maybe we'll send some troops in too and kill some shit! That way those scum bags can see what US "Democracy" is all about (as if they didn't already know). Santa Claus will have a bunch more names on his Al CIAda naughty list from the awesome recruiting effort that comes with the perception of dictatorship and oppression! Merry Christmas Pakistan, more US money and National Interests are heading your way!

    All the talk is not if we are going to do anything, but what? And how much? More meddling... Merry Christmas, OBL.
