[Peace-discuss] Obama & Neocons' mutual admiration

[C. G. Estabrook]

[From <http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/>.  I posted the column from the WaPo 
referred to below, by that neocon intellectual bagman, Robert Kagan, last year. 
It was called as I recall "Obama the Interventionist." It's amazing to see the 
Obamists now embrace it.  Just shows that the awful Kagan -- who argued that 
there was no principled difference between Obama's and Bush's foreign policy -- 
  was right all along.  --CGE]

A little odd to see Obama approvingly citing McCain adviser and neocon stalwart 
Robert Kagan in a new TV ad. The ad cites a Kagan column from last year, which 
tried to make the case, in a sometimes mocking and sarcastic way, that Obama's 
foreign policy really wasn't all that different from the neocons'. The ad is 
running in the Navy home port of Norfolk, VA, where defense spending is 
obviously a big issue.  --David Kurtz
