It's been a rough season for neoconservatives, the group that has dominated U.S. foreign policy since the attacks of September 11. They've been largely run out of the Bush administration, beset by infighting, and mocked by a foreign-policy establishment that hailed their power just a few years ago. Last month was particularly brutal. They looked on helplessly as Democrats took both houses of Congress. They had to grit their teeth when President Bush met with Washington dealmakers James Baker and Lee Hamilton, whose bipartisan group is charged with extricating America from the mess the neocon-influenced policy created in Iraq. Then, insult to injury: they watched their cold-war nemesis in Central America circa 1986, Daniel Ortega, rise again to be president of Nicaragua. Francis Fukuyama, the "End of History" sage, has broken with the neocons publicly and believes that they are discredited. Richard Perle, the former Pentagon adviser, now says he probably wouldn't have invaded Iraq at all. (Newsweek)

While governing with arrogance, hubris, and condescension, via the Bush Administration, for the last six years, the neocons have been confronted with failure after failure after failure. Considering their record of incompetence and defeat, do you think that the neocons are now fully discredited?

Yes, the neocons are completely discredited
No, despite being total failures, they are doing great

Their faulty reasoning and execution of policies have been exposed and their assumptions have been off the mark...their base is crumbling and without big, big changes, their influence and credibility will continue to slide...as well as their ability to emplement their agenda...
