Charles Krauthammer
Charles Krauthammer is a conservative commentator and author, as well as a regular contributor to the Fox News show Special Report with Brit Hume, along with Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes. His writings also appear often in the Weekly Standard, the Washington Post, and Time. In an editorial in the magazine Commentary, Krauthammer wrote that neoconservativism “is the maturation of a governing ideology whose time has come”. The original “fathers of neoconservatism” were “former liberals or leftists”. More recently, they have been joined by “realists, newly mugged by reality”, such as Condoleezza Rice, Richard Cheney and George W. Bush, who “have given weight to neoconservatism, making it more diverse and, given the newcomers’ past experience, more mature".[1] Neoconservatives are generally given credit for planning and creating the rationale for the invasion of Iraq.
