Reply #6: EXCEPT (whoopsie) first opposition to deal came from pro-Israel RW neocons

[Wordie]

Such as Frank Gaffney, who more or less broke the story in the mainstream press (it has been widely publicized in trade journals previously), and the extremely RW Center for Security Policy, which also was early out of the box.

Gaffney is not exactly known for his progressiveness, shall we say, and is a prominent PNAC member. In fact, he is a founding member of PNAC. Here's a brief bio, on RightWeb: http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/1183

Frank Gaffney, Jr.

Center for Security Policy: Founder
The Washington Times: Columnist
Americans for Victory over Terrorism: Adviser
Project for the New American Century: Founding member
Gaffney, a former Reagan administration official who cut his teeth working under Richard Perle when the “prince of darkness” was an adviser to Sen. “Scoop” Jackson in the 1970s, is one of the key heavy-lifters of the neoconservative-hawk policy institute world. From his perch at the Center for Security Policy (CSP), Gaffney routinely excoriates any and all arms control agreements, stridently defends U.S. intervention in places such as Iraq, and defends the hardline policies of Israel’s Likud Party.

...Gaffney is a contributing editor to National Review online and a columnist for American Spectator online, WorldNetDaily.com and JewishWorldReview.com. His op-ed pieces have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The New Republic, The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, the Los Angeles Times, and Newsday.

All the lefties who oppose the deal seem to have picked up on misleading RW talking points, as you have. Curious, huh? Why do you think that is???
