As Iraq slips further into chaos, the war's neoconservative boosters have turned sharply on the Bush administration, charging that their grand designs have been undermined by White House incompetence. In a series of exclusive interviews, Richard Perle, Kenneth Adelman, David Frum, and others play the blame game with shocking frankness. Target No. 1: the president himself.

Three years later, Perle and I meet again at his home outside Washington, D.C. It is October, the worst month for U.S. casualties in Iraq in almost two years, and Republicans are bracing for losses in the upcoming midterm elections. As he looks into my eyes, speaking slowly and with obvious deliberation, Perle is unrecognizable as the confident hawk who, as chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee, had invited the exiled Iraqi dissident Ahmad Chalabi to its first meeting after 9/11. "The levels of brutality that we've seen are truly horrifying, and I have to say, I underestimated the depravity," Perle says now, adding that total defeat�an American withdrawal that leaves Iraq as an anarchic "failed state"�is not yet inevitable but is becoming more likely. "And then," says Perle, "you'll get all the mayhem that the world is capable of creating."

[When you launch a war, your team has to be prepared, so I think these neo-conservatives are guilty along with Bush. They didn't take the time to really look at the facts. Anyway, read the article. It is interesting.]

Interesting article. Too bad the full article won't come out till after the election. I think that would have caused a fire-storm.

While I do agree that there has been monumental incompetence, I don't think things would have been much better had the administration had been competent. The fundamental problem is not how the war was fought/conducted but that it was initiated at all, and for that, I hold the neocons responsible. The ultimate responsibility is Bush's because he is president, but the neocons gave him bad advice and for that they are responsible.

One thing from the article I hope is true:

[Meegook]

Richard Perle's turning on the Bush Admin. signals the beginning of the end for Bush/Cheney.

Perle is a bonifide snake in the grass Israeli Neo Con Jew.

Perle was a chief architect of the Plan for New American Century.

And chief architect behind 9/11.

This means that Israel wants Bush out.
