Last year while I was watching the NBC Nightly News, the commentator who was interviewing Richard Perle called him "the father of the war in Iraq". That is how I first found out about the neoconservatives and their huge influence on the Bush White House.
Here is some information on Perle:
>>> From 1969 to 1980, he worked as a staffer for Democratic Senator Henry M. Jackson of Washington. He lost one of his positions after the FBI revealed that he had passed on classified information to Israel.
I call this treason. Perle clearly showed that his loyalty was NOT to the United States, but look who Bu$h hires as an advisor.
>>> In July 2001 George W. Bush appointed Perle chairman of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee, ...
Here are some of the people he associates with:
>>> Perle is co-founder of the right-wing Project for the New American Century (PNAC),...

Notice the members:
>>> Present and former members include Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Jeb Bush, Richard Perle, Richard Armitage, Dick Cheney, Lewis Libby, William J. Bennett, Zalmay Khalilzad, and Ellen Bork,...
More about neoconservatives:
>>> Neoconservatives and Israel
>>> The neoconservatives also support a robust American stance on Israel. The neoconservative influenced Project for a New American Century called for an Israel no longer dependent on American aid through the removal of major threats in the region.
>>> The interest in Israel, and the large proportion of Jewish neoconservatives has led to the question of "dual loyalty." A number of critics, such as Pat Buchanan, have accused them of putting Israeli interests above those of America. In turn these critics have been labeled as anti-Semites by many neoconservatives (which in turn has led to accusations of professional smearing, and then paranoia and so on).

With these neoconservatives in power, the war in Iraq was a done deal, just looking for an excuse. WMD's and threats to America were just excuses to start a war that these people had pushed for years. The problem is that it is that these policies and the war in Iraq are in the best interests of Israel, not the United States.
