Who is the Evil King of the Neo-Cons?

[ck4829]

Even though we may not like to think it, it seems as though the Neo-Con's attacks are organized and precise. Think about it, we have good and strong groups, PFAW, Americans United, MoveOn, but they aren't as organized or as strong as the Neo-Conservative groups are. This has led me to believe that one person or a small group directs the actions and strategy of the Right. If this is true, who would it be?
Scaife, Moon, the Coors Brewery (If you do not know about Coors, I recommend you read up on it), or is it somebody else?

2. Irving Kristol was the "founder" of the neo-con

movement, and his evil spawn, William Kristol founded PNAC in 1997. Others at the top of the heap are Norman Podhoretz, Elliot Abrams, Robert Kagan, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith, et al.

It's a relatively small movement. From AlterNet, "Contrary to appearances, the neoconservatives do not represent a political movement, but a small, exclusive club with incestuous familial and personal connections."

3. Who was it who said the other day "It's hard to believe that just

eight or nine men could seize the government"

6. I don't know, but it seems like there are numerous

agendas controlling the administration. But PNAC is definitely controlling foreign policy right now, with the Christian right as their handmaidens. It's true that politics makes strange bedfellows.

4. Mike Ledeen, IMO

he's the most ubiquitous, has the most fingers in pies, and seemingly the most influential, among all the branches of the neocons. The ones you mention just provide the money.

5. PNAC.

7. I think this decade it's Cheney.

He's the puppeteer. The cuckoo ideas might come from Perle, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz, but it's Cheney who put them in their positions of power, Cheney who lets DOD smack State around, and Cheney who tells Bush what to do.
