Makes too much sense. Instead, neocons started wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, China paid for them (though Americans will get a big bill) and Halliburton and Blackwater profited. For some reason, "fiscal conservatives" had no problem with that arrangement.

Did you even READ the title of the thread? I would propose that it could be interpreted as "alluding to an ideology". Wouldn't you?
