With all due respect, not everyone has heard of Richard Perle so I was just giving a friendly tip. And like you say, he is now "oddly off the reservation". The guy has suddenly 'disappeared'.
But what kind of bugs me now about Perle's .. ah... 'absence' and Kristol (of course I don't like him anyway) is that with their new 'stance' they give ammo to the anti-semites who'll say (again) we only toppled Saddam for "the jooooooos". But I don't care IF we DID it for "the jooooos", Saddam was a threat to us and our families, if Israel benefited so be it. Hell the whole world benefited - except the French, China and the Ruskies taking bribes.
OFF TOPIC,
How's the weather in Big Sky Country? I'm hoping (dreaming) to move to Montana 'some day'. From what I've seen your weather seems better there on average than where I'm at in the Chicago burbs. Milder winters and NO humidity in summer.
Weather here is another below zero kind of day. (2nd day in a row). Not quite as windy, so it doesn't feel quite as cold as the temperature would indicate. I don't mind the cold weather, I just hate shoveling "global warming" 6 months out of the year. LOL
