For the life of me, I don't understand why Perle even bothers showing his face in public anymore. I recognized this flaming @sshole as a fraud before the war in Iraq even began, so I feel just a bit more vindication every time he opens his mouth in public.
We must never forget that little Billy --- echoing John Kerry--- called for ousting Sec Rumsfeld. That says a lot about Billy's (gag) "conservatism."
It did not escape conservatives' notice that Kristol's gleeful public attack on Sec Rumsfield was a carefully constructed attack on Mr Bush, and on conservative thought. Billy's backstabbing Mr Bush and his administration was unconscionable.
Such undermining of a sitting president did not exist even in the flawed Clinton administration and certainly not to the degree approaching that visited on the current administration by Kristol, and the group that purports to be in its corner-----neocon types.
It's always difficult to determine what motivation drives neocons' elliptical, convoluted thinking. Although Mummy and Daddy might have threatened to take away the magazine if Billy didn't Hurry Up and Do Something.
We can only ponder the plurality 2004 Candidate GWB would have had, if voters had not been turned off by this craven, secular bunch.
