Fukuyama has definitely picked up a rep for changing his mind in slippery fashion, then denying he changed it. Note what he says now

had always thought that I shared a common worldview with many other neoconservatives, including many of my friends and acquaintances who served in the administration of George W. Bush. And yet, unlike most of my fellow neoconservatives, I was never persuaded of the necessity of waging the Iraq War

...yet you quoted him on the necessity of regime change in Iraq to show he was a neocon. Urging Bush to remove Saddam Hussein, all that. What does he mean now, that Bush was to remove him by use of magic?

I never thought of him as a neocon, simply because what he was saying was so different from the Kagan-Kristol-Wolfowitz neocon thesis, and much of it was quickly proved silly too. The End of History didn't even last 10 years. I haven't paid too much attention to him since, nor has anybody else - until he made himself into a useful club to beat the neocons with.
