from SLATE, 2/20/09: >The [Washington POST's] Dana Milbank reports on what sounds like an almost >too-good-to-be-true public appearance by Richard Perle, who tried to convince >an audience he isn't a neoconservative and, in fact, that neoconservatives >don't even exist. "There is no such thing as a neoconservative foreign >policy," Perle said. The man who co-authored a report that "is widely seen as >the cornerstone of neoconservative foreign policy," as the WP explains, says >he didn't even read it before attaching his name. He even tried to argue that >there's no evidence these so-called neocons favored using the military to >spread democracy and tried to say that when he talks about "regime change," he >never means to "imply military force." Milbank says the audience was >"skeptical." Maybe they were too dumbfounded to laugh?<
It also turns out that neoliberalism is a myth, according to the UK's Adam Smith Institute. ;-) -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
