Nur noch zwei Wochen vor der Wahl. Fast t\u00e4glich kommen neue Konservative hinzu, die Barack Obama unterst\u00fctzen. Gestern erst Colin Powell. Wenige Tage zuvor Christopher Buckley, der Sohn von William Buckley, dem Mit-Begr\u00fcnder der neokonservativen intellektuellen Bewegung. (Buckley wurde darauf von der National Review<\/a> seine Kolumne entzogen, von der Zeitschrift, die sein Vater einst begr\u00fcndet hatte, um eine rechte intellektuelle Kultur aufzubauen. Mehr hier<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Heute ist es Kenneth Adelman, ein weiteres Urgestein der neokonservativen Bewegung.
\nAdelman hat schon in den siebziger Jahren f\u00fcr Donald Rumsfeld gearbeitet, sp\u00e4ter war er ein Berater Ronald Reagans w\u00e4hrend dessen Verhandlungen mit Gorbatschow. Er hat den Irakkrieg enthusiatisch unterst\u00fctzt, und ihn anf\u00e4nglich als einen „Spaziergang“ gekennzeichnet.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ken Adelman<\/em><\/p>\n

Offenbar war das ein wenig \u00fcberm\u00fctig, und so sah Adelman sich gedr\u00e4ngt, Ende 2006 mit seinem alten Freund Rumsfeld und sich selbst abzurechnen<\/a>.
\nUnd seine jetzige Unterst\u00fctzung Barack Obamas steht offenbar in dieser Linie.<\/p>\n

Das ist etwas Neues auf der politischen Szene Amerikas: reuige Neocons, die sich durch eine Unterst\u00fctzung des angeblich am weitesten links stehenden Kandidaten seit Jahrzehnten rehabilitieren.<\/p>\n

Die politische Reue als Wahlkampfmunition: Hier kommen die Obamacons<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Besonders interressant ist das vor dem Hintergrund, dass viele der urspr\u00fcnglichen Neocons einmal reuige Linke waren – „mugged by reality<\/a>“ (von der Wirklichkeit \u00fcberfallen), wie Irving Kristol es nannte.<\/p>\n

Jetzt findet das Gleiche wieder statt, nur mit anderer Richtung. Obama hat fast so viel Zulauf von der Rechten wie Reagan einst von der Linken.<\/p>\n

Hier ist Adelmans Begr\u00fcndung im New Yorker<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Why so, since my views align a lot more with McCain\u2019s than with Obama\u2019s? And since I truly dread the notion of a Democratic president, Democratic House, and hugely Democratic Senate?<\/em><\/p>\n

Primarily for two reasons, those of temperament and of judgment.<\/em><\/p>\n

When the economic crisis broke, I found John McCain bouncing all over the place. In those first few crisis days, he was impetuous, inconsistent, and imprudent; ending up just plain weird. Having worked with Ronald Reagan for seven years, and been with him in his critical three summits with Gorbachev, I\u2019ve concluded that that\u2019s no way a president can act under pressure.<\/em><\/p>\n

Second is judgment. The most important decision John McCain made in his long campaign was deciding on a running mate.<\/em><\/p>\n

That decision showed appalling lack of judgment. Not only is Sarah Palin not close to being acceptable in high office\u2014I would not have hired her for even a mid-level post in the arms-control agency. But that selection contradicted McCain\u2019s main two, and best two, themes for his campaign\u2014Country First, and experience counts. Neither can he credibly claim, post-Palin pick.<\/em><\/p>\n

I sure hope Obama is more open, centrist, sensible\u2014dare I say, Clintonesque\u2014than his liberal record indicates, than his cooperation with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid portends. If not, I will be even more startled by my vote than I am now.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

„Ideas have consequences“ – so lautete die Neocon-Warnung. Unter Bush haben die Neocons selber die Wahrheit ihrer Warnung zu sp\u00fcren bekommen – und ziehen die Konsequenzen.
