nwsun, I'm surprised some are still stuck on Jim Garrison's story that the CIA was behind the assassination of JFK. A story with roots in Russian disinformation.

I'm not surprised that "many people, on both sides, have no idea what the PNAC is" as most Americans are not into politics as those here are.

I'm not surprised that the majority of American's don't see Hillary as a neocon because, on any balance of evidence, she never was.

And Schumer did not warn Trump about the dangers of CIA retribution. He did say Trump was stupid
to slander the CIA with lies as the CIA, as any body would, wouldn't take being lied about sitting down.

Lastly, you have no credible evidence that JFK said he wanted to dismantle the CIA.

That post of yours is a mishmash of Gish Gallop from go to woe.

nwsun, you mean not what PNAC is, but what it was

"Im surprised how many people, on both sides, have no idea what the PNAC is and how it's driving our foreign policy."

End of the organization

By the end of 2006, PNAC was "reduced to a voice-mail box and a ghostly website [with a] single employee ... left to wrap things up", according to a correspondent at the BBC News.[66] In 2006 former executive director of the PNAC Gary Schmitt said PNAC had never been intended to "go on forever," and had "already done its job," suggesting that "our view has been adopted."[66] In 2009 Robert Kagan and William Kristol created a new think tank, the Foreign Policy Initiative, which scholars Stephen M. Walt and Don Abelson have characterized as a successor to PNAC.[2][67] From September 5th 2018 till January 13th 2019, the PNAC homepage went back online without any further explanation.
