A Surge of Paleoconservatives

Heads up: Brainy paleos Richard Spencer, Daniel McCarthy, and W. James Antle III (the latter two being reason contributors) have launched Exit-Strategies, a blog on "foreign policy after the Bush debacle." Or as the bloggers put it:

How do we get out of this mess?

Here, Spencer analyzes the not-so-secret hawkishness of French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner.

Kouchner's mention that "We must negotiate right to the end…" is almost a Freudian slip—clearly, he presumes that there will be an end to the negotiations.

Kouchner's hawkishness should not come as any surprise. The founder of Doctors Without Borders, Kouchner is known as a man of the Left; however, in his short tenure, he's been more than willing to team up with the Bush administration in Iraq and has even gestured toward the possibility of France's rejoining NATO's military command.
