Elliott Abrams: The Last Neocon Standing; a convicted felon, pardoned by Poppy

God, what a mess this country is!

This god-awful nightmare should not only mean the end of the NeoCons, but the end of Republican hold on power in this country for generations.

Elliott Abrams: The Last Neocon Standing - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com:

Dec. 4, 2006 issue - It's been a rough season for neoconservatives, the group that has dominated U.S. foreign policy since the attacks of September 11. They've been largely run out of the Bush administration, beset by infighting, and mocked by a foreign-policy establishment that hailed their power just a few years ago. Last month was particularly brutal. They looked on helplessly as Democrats took both houses of Congress. They had to grit their teeth when President Bush met with Washington dealmakers James Baker and Lee Hamilton, whose bipartisan group is charged with extricating America from the mess the neocon-influenced policy created in Iraq. Then, insult to injury: they watched their cold-war nemesis in Central America circa 1986, Daniel Ortega, rise again to be president of Nicaragua.
