Kristol is also one of the founding members of PNAC, and one who felt we should have invaded Iraq and removed Saddam during the Clinton years. He was also dan quayle's advisor during the first bush administration. Scooter Libby also happens to be a member of PNAC.

I love how right wingers claim to "stick up for gays and lesbians"....as long as they don't get married or go to bed together because that is immoral. EVERYONE knows faggot is a derogatory term for a gay person, just as the n-bomb is derogatory for a black person. She wouldn't get up there and say "Hannity is my nigga" and play it off as "i meant he was my friend!!". Personally I am not offended by either term as they are just words, but in a public venue she should have been more careful in choosing her words. She has to do something to get attention and sell her boring books.

This is the letter they wrote in 1998.

Letter to President Clinton on Iraq

His signature is on there, along with some other signatures that could peak some interest. Kristol is still the current chairman of pnac.
