Want to visit a church in much of the world - walk right in, it’s probably a tourist site.

Want to visit a synagogue, in much of the world you need to know someone, call ahead, if you can and that’s before the security.

Seems very at odds with claims there was not a kill the all order if the strike was conducted with prior individual identification of the eleven.

I do wonder if this is garbled though. Just seems very at odds with prior claims in way presented.

Then why buy into this new neoconservativism sloganeering?

There’s plenty of foundations for the view that right wing authoritarians are good not tied to this kind of argument - and much of it comes from longstanding conservative traditions that are not neoconservative. So why not spotlight those?

In doing so even as critique it actually supports a core frame of argument for the Trump coalition and obscures specific responsibilities and causes.

A relevant origin point for this significant misfire is not taking seriously non-neocon aspects/parts of the Bush administration.
