Freddie is merely a rank and file member of PNAC and signatory to some of the reports generated by the neocon think tank. (hat tip Robert Danow)<\/p>\n<p>Neoconservative co-founder of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newamericancentury.org\/\">Project for a New American Century (PNAC)<\/a> and author of Bush&#8217;s recent Iraq &#8220;Surge&#8221; plan, Frederick Kagan, shared a virtual propagandafest with Brit Hume on Fox &#8216;News&#8217; Sunday yesterday. <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=3917\">BRAD BLOG covered<\/a> the entire charade that was Kagan&#8217;s <em>Plan for Success<\/em> back in <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=3917\">January along with a timeline<\/a> evidencing Freddie&#8217;s ever-changing call for a troop surge which began with 50,000 additional troops and ended up with either 20,000 or 33,000 more soldiers depending on the day of the week. <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the only thing more amazing than Kagan&#8217;s lack of honesty and empathy for our troops is Fox&#8217;s audacity for continuously giving Kagan and his warmongering kin, including &#8220;General&#8221; Bill Kristol, a platform to spout their neoconservative rhetoric. If Fox &#8216;News&#8217; had any integrity  whatsoever it would implement a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mendoza_Line\">Mendoza Line<\/a> type requirement for its pundits.  In baseball, all one has to do to stay even with the Mendoza Line is get a hit 1 out of every 5 at bats. Imagine if Fox made it a requirement that Kagan had to be right on at least 1 of 5 matters that he weighs in on. Actually, as far as I know, if the minimum requirement were merely to be right once he wouldn&#8217;t make it on the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guest Blogged by Alan Breslauer UPDATE: The original video had one error identifying Frederick Kagan as a co-founder of PNAC.
