Why is the Center For American Progress Cavorting With Neocons?
On April 3, CAP is hosting a little release party for the report in the form of a public discussion arrogantly titled, “A New Way Forward in Afghanistan,” which includes a leading neoconservative activist, Frederick Kagan, one of the lead proponents of the “surge” in Iraq. In addition to being a “Resident Scholar” at the American Enterprise Institute, which was basically Dick Cheney’s bunker away from the bunker in the 1990s, Kagan was also a major figure in advocating the agenda of the neocon-Project for a New American Century, which molded the Bush administration’s conquistador foreign policy.

3. because they're two sides of the same coin
despite their claims.

I'll probably catch hell for saying that, but from what I can see, it's the truth.

5. I wish that I was brilliant so I could rationalize this mess OR stupid so I could
just keep plugging on.

The most painful group to be within is that of "intellectually curious" democratic voters.

The Wealthy has declared WAR on the rest of us. I'm pinching myself, but politically the USA is ONE corporate right-wing duopoly.

It's frightening ... what a tragedy "a mess" we are leaving for OUR children. :(
