Fred Kagan, a leading neoconservative and one of the architects of the military surges in Iraq and Afghanistan, has also been meeting with Ryan to coach him on foreign policy. Paul Ryan has also been praised by Jamie Fly, executive director of the uber-hawkish Foreign Policy Initiative, a neoconservative think tank that has advocated regime change in Iran, military action in Syria to depose the regime there, and criticized the US withdrawal from Iraq.”
