It's a 'conspiracy theory' to blame neocons for the war – even though they spent the last decade agitating for it

"The neo-cons" aren't an organization but a diverse group of individuals. If you claim that many of them called for the war and you blame them for doing so then fine, but you have implied more than that. You talk about their hierarchy and imply they are an organization acting secretly with sinister motives. That is "conspiracy theory".

Also the war and social security are separate issues, and neither supporting the war in Iraq or supporting social security reform amounts to a "philosophy of rule by the elite" that "requires that the masses be dependant upon the nobles oblige of the philosopher kings"
