>>" Kenneth Adelman, a lifelong neocon activist and Pentagon insider who served on the Defense Policy Board until 2005, wrote a famous op-ed article in The Washington Post in February 2002, arguing: "I believe demolishing Hussein's military power and liberating Iraq would be a cakewalk." Now he says, "I just presumed that what I considered to be the most competent national-security team since Truman was indeed going to be competent. They turned out to be among the most incompetent teams in the post-war era. Not only did each of them, individually, have enormous flaws, but together they were deadly, dysfunctional." "<< This guy Adelman, according to Woodward a close personal friend of Rumsfeld, big advisor to Rumsfeld for the Iraq invasion and big time talk show guest then always wearing his American flag tie...what a despicable phoney!! And the rest of that cast of characters, Pearle, Gaffney et al...unspeakable...thousands of Americans dead and maimed and Iraqis by the hundreds of thousands slaughtered for what???... and they say...not my fault.

Neo Culpa ... Perle goes so far as to say that, if he had his time over, he would not have advocated an invasion of Iraq: "I think if I had been delphic, and had seen where we are today, and people had said, 'Should we go into Iraq?,' I think now I probably would have said, 'No, let's consider other strategies for dealing with the thing that concerns us most, which is Saddam supplying weapons of mass destruction to terrorists.' … I don't say that because I no longer believe that Saddam had the capability to produce weapons of mass destruction, or that he was not in contact with terrorists. I believe those two premises were both correct. Could we have managed that threat by means other than a direct military intervention? Well, maybe we could have." Scumbag...these folks are imploding, blaming each other now for their collective crime. And the consequences are borne by the military and the iraqi people. Seven soldiers dead TODAY alone. Goddamn them all. Al
