Re: Think tank =|= Echo chamber (none / 0)
No Rumsfeld was not a policy maker in the Ford administration, who I gather you may think was in cahoots with the Neocons.

Take my advise: give it up. The Neocons did not have any real effect on US foreign policy until 9/11. In fact, the Wolfowitz Iraq invasion plan was already out there in the early 90s, when he attempted to get Clinton to do the dirty work. Clinton allegedly threw it in the wastebasket. It is not that Neocons were not embedded yet, but they just had no effect on American foreign policy, yet.

And no, the Neocons did not supply Saddam with chemical weapons, and no, Walt is not wrong because of that preposterous notion. As I mentioned before, Iraq was just being used by the US to counter Iran.

So let's stop beating a dead horse, shall we?
