5. He, his wife & family are a nest of neoconservative hawks

According to Wikipedia, this guy was pretty much the author of the current surge strategy - Big surpirse that his wife is pimping for him on how wonderful it's working.

Kagan authored the so-called "real Iraq Study Group" report as the AEI's "hawkish" rival to the ISG report of James Baker and Lee H. Hamilton in December 2006. The AEI report, titled Choosing Victory: A Plan for Success in Iraq, was released on January 5, 2007, and Kagan was said to have won-over the ear of President George W. Bush,<3> strongly influencing his subsequent "surge" plan for changing the course of the Iraq War. Along with retired Gen. Jack Keane, Kagan is credited as one of the "intellectual architects" of the surge plan.<4>
