In the States, "neo-con" is a pejorative term for Jewish conservatives used by other (mostly paleo-) conservatives to suggest that the neo-con is not a real conservative. It is one step below "Likudnik."<BR/><BR/>It can also mean membership in a group of 1930s Trotskyites, including most notably Norman Podhoritz Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902329503560660425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-32202443729794426122007-04-10T16:42:00.000+00:002007-04-10T16:42:00.000+00:00Lighten up DavidLighten up DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-22554708566694108032007-04-10T15:42:00.000+00:002007-04-10T15:42:00.000+00:00There are lots of Gentile neo-cons, Michael Gove f...There are lots of Gentile neo-cons, Michael Gove for instance, although he's British, so I don't get David's comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-26731522279280986762007-04-10T15:23:00.000+00:002007-04-10T15:23:00.000+00:00Cap'n: That depends on whether we accept that "ne...Cap'n: That depends on whether we accept that "neo" just means "Jew."Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902329503560660425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23400750.post-7144782244055478712007-04-10T10:16:00.000+00:002007-04-10T10:16:00.000+00:00Them selling their stories just adds further doubt...Them selling their stories just adds further doubts in my mind and alot in my age group that you can't believe a word they have said about their experiences.

What's really surprised me about the neo-con blowhard reaction -- in fact, the general American reaction since we're all n-cbh's on the British scale -- is the complete lack of any boundary in people's minds between "us" and "British."

Another argument for the Sale of the story is it provides contrast between the two sets of interviews. While giving the appearance of it being a 'real' un-managed affair separate from the Mod. It must have been the thing of nightmares for the MoD to see those interviews from Iran (the real nightmare, being involved ).
