    Hopefully Obama's People Will Read This

    Hopefully Obama's people will read this, and when the time comes politely and firmly show the neo-cons the door.

    That's phase 1.

    Phase 2 is far more difficult; that is to purge the lower profile neo-cons from the various jobs they hold in and around Washington. You can sure the cries of 'vindictiveness,' 'witch hunt,' 'partisan' and the inevitable 'anti-semitism' will be raised.

    But the stakes couldn't be higher, and the American people and their President must demand a foreign policy establishment that isn't crippled by neo-conservativism.
