Lindsey Graham’s Got a Simple Platform: War!
by Daniel McAdams | Jun 1, 2015 | Neocon Watch

Sen. Cotton Challenges ‘Coward’ Iranian Foreign Minister
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 30, 2015 | Neocon Watch

Sen. Tom ‘Cakewalk’ Cotton: Let’s Bomb Iran, It’ll be a Breeze!
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 9, 2015 | Neocon Watch

Neocon Nervous Breakdown: Iran Framework Agreement Reached
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 2, 2015 | Neocon Watch
Behind that Cheshire Cat grin one can detect, if listening closely, the sound of neocon godfather Bill Kristol gritting his teeth. The neocons pulled out all stops to scuttle any kind of Iran deal. They even called in a foreign leader in the person of kindred spirit...
McCain to Israel: Go Rogue!
by Daniel McAdams | Mar 31, 2015 | Neocon Watch

Sen. Cotton’s Fabric of War
by Daniel McAdams | Mar 17, 2015 | Neocon Watch
Sen. Tom Cotton and Bill KristolFreshman Senator Tom Cotton arrived in the Senate with a real bang. First he authored an unprecedented letter to the leaders of Iran trying to convince them (but really the American public) that the US government is an unreliable...
Sen. Cotton’s Shocking Ignorance
by Daniel McAdams | Mar 10, 2015 | Neocon Watch
It is often incorrectly assumed that elected officials are better informed about current events than are average American citizens. "I don't have access to the kinds of information they have," is what is often heard. In fact, this is not the case. Members of Congress...
McCain Stands With ISIS?
by Daniel McAdams | Mar 9, 2015 | Neocon Watch
Sen. John McCain has a knack for getting his picture taken with the strangest characters. Though his support for US interventionism is steadfast, does he even know what he is getting himself into when he travels overseas? In the above photograph, we see Sen. McCain,...
McCain ‘Troubled’ by Iranian Help With ISIS
by Daniel McAdams | Mar 3, 2015 | Neocon Watch
Although the enemy of an enemy is not necessarily a friend, it should seemingly go without saying that if a foreign country has dedicated its resources to the defeat of an avowed enemy of one's own country it would be welcomed and even encouraged. For example, if the...
Sen. McCain: ‘I’m Ashamed of America’
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 23, 2015 | Neocon Watch
John McCain, from his usual perch atop the Sunday morning political shows, was in a foul mood this week. While the German and French leaders continue to work for a political solution to the ongoing nightmare in Ukraine, McCain cannot believe that the US is not already...
Bernard-Henri Lévy’s ‘Fair Wind’ Blows Foul in Libya
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 16, 2015 | Neocon Watch
Pondering yesterday's gruesome beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians by an ISIS which has newly found a foothold in post-"liberated" Libya, it is hard to stop the mind from wandering back to Bernard-Henri Lévy, the swaggering French philosopher who almost...
Gullible Sen. Inhofe Peddles Fake ‘Proof’ of Russian Invasion
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 13, 2015 | Neocon Watch
Uber-hawk Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) has long been demanding that the US escalate its conflict with Russia over the ongoing civil war in Ukraine. In fact just this week he introduced legislation to clarify that the president must send lethal military weapons to Kiev....
Max Boot Wants to Kick Russia
by Daniel McAdams | Jan 29, 2015 | Neocon Watch
Neocon scribbler Max Boot makes his living expressing indignation. How dare the Obama administration not adopt a more confrontational stance toward Iran! How dare the US president not commit more US resources toward fighting Boko Haram! How dare the weak-willed...
The Neocons’ Lament
by Ron Paul | Jan 21, 2015 | Neocon Watch
Neo-cons constantly lament, "If we had only done this...." when desperately trying to explain the mess the US has caused in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. They can't deny our government’s involvement, so they must find someone to blame. It's never our policy of foreign...
Sen. Lindsey Graham in Israel: ‘We Will Follow Your Lead’
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 30, 2014 | Neocon Watch
Imagine the reaction if a sitting United States Senator travelled to France, or Russia, or Saudi Arabia and assured the foreign leader that the US lawmaking body would "follow your lead" when it comes to a decision on whether “more sanctions, and stronger sanctions”...
We Should Thank Those Who Torture
by Laurence M. Vance | Dec 27, 2014 | Neocon Watch
Says Michael Reagan, the son of conservative god Ronald Reagan. “We shouldn’t be second-guessing and beating up on the CIA, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and all the other men and women who’ve helped to keep us safe for the last 14 years. We should be thanking them.” He...
Michele Bachmann Wants An Attack On Iran For Christmas
by Akbar Shahid Ahmed | Dec 14, 2014 | Neocon Watch
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is retiring from Congress at the end of this year, and she wants to go out with a bang. A very specific kind of bang, in fact: the type you get when you drop a US bomb on an Iranian nuclear facility, which experts believe could upend...
As Expected, Neocons Defend Torture
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 9, 2014 | Neocon Watch
In the realm of predictability, it was a sure bet: The Senate Intelligence Committee's report on CIA torture released today was vigorously rejected by the coterie of neocon armchair warriors whose lives are a constant loop of the television program "24." As the rest...
