Kimberly’s Baby


Newsweek comes to announce that Neoconservatism never really died. In fact, we’ll be living with their progeny for some time:

At his invitation, Frederick and Kimberly Kagan, an odd sight in flak jackets, have taken seven inspection tours of Iraq since April 2007. “They don’t have kids, so this is their child,” Petraeus said in a phone interview.

I wonder if in their dotage, Fred and Kimberly will ever ask themselves why their child hardly ever calls or writes anymore.

Then again, is there any doubt that whatever the Kagan’s have spawned in Iraq will make a memorable visitation on our shores someday?

  1. Fred and Kimberly Kagan: war is the force that gives them meaning.

  2. Newsweek tends to be the test of what is not true.

  3. Truly disturbing.

  4. I’m reminded of the final, horrifying scene in the film; Rosemary relenting, giving in to her maternal instincts and cradling her devil-spawn beneath that creepy lullaby soundtrack.
    This monstrosity has a multitude of mothers, and no matter how repulsive it appears, they can only love it as their own.

  5. I’m pretty sure that Newsweek got this one right.

    That baby is going to have some serious problems as a teenager, probably because of selfish parenting practices and a lack of childhood play-friends.
