      Michael Cohen Retweeted Dhruva Jaishankar

      This is a good thread in that it gets to a few of the problems in @stephenwertheim’s piece on the neo-cons. Primarily that it wrongly conflates neo-con with the DC bipartisan consensus on foreign policy and use of forcehttps://twitter.com/d_jaishankar/status/1081557689304604672 …

      Michael Cohen added,

      I've seen sensible people both deride and endorse this article by @stephenwertheim. The divergence may be because it correctly identifies certain trends underway but wildly mischaracterizes the context. 1/n https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2019/01/02/return-of-the-neocons/ …

      Do you think that Al Gore would've invaded Iraq (as this thread suggests)? I don't.

          I definitely don’t. I don’t think the issue would have even come up if he had been president

          Replying to @speechboy71 @HeerJeet @stephenwertheim

          Wouldn’t have come up seems way too strong and/or forgetful of the context to me - don’t think Gore would’ve felt need to connect it to 9/11 but heightened sensitivities to threats and Saddam’s idiotic posturing would’ve still been around

          Also he doesn’t suggest Gore would have invaded Iraq

          We, of course can never know, but I think the odds of Gore invading Iraq are very, very low. I am sure he would have sent forces into Afghanistan.

          The Al Gore who complained in 2000 that Bush Sr hadn’t finished the job? That one?

          Neither would Hillary. She voted to allow it as political cover as did mos Dems, but few if any would have started the war as President as Bush did.

          Especially since the invasion was used to eviscerate the other style. A thoroughly evil, hubristic time
