Neoconservatives take Washington – Baghdad is next
March 2002

Yes, but some will definitely be all smiles, among them what Matthews calls the "neoconservative faction" of the administration: namely, Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard, who, with his sometime co-author Robert Kagan, proclaimed in a famous article that the goal of American foreign policy must be "benevolent world hegemony." Matthews dolefully notes that the two of them "write a regular column for the Washington Post pushing war with Iraq," as the rest of the neocon chorus dutifully shouts "Amen!", including Frank Gaffney, William Safire, and a host of Washington political operatives deeply embedded in the Bush administration. One widely-noted example of neocon dominance: as neocon presidential speechwriter David Frum, author of the "axis of evil" phraseology, exits the White House, neocon Joseph Shattan takes his place.
