Richard Perle, spokesman for the troops

[Cocoa]

Sorry if this one has been discussed, but did anyone catch Richard Perle on "This Week" yesterday, claiming without evidence, and without anyone on the panel asking for evidence, that U.S. troops would overwhelmingly support Donald Rumsfeld if they were polled?

Who's with me, that Richard Perle should only speak for himself and his narrow neoconservative constituency, and that if we wanted to hear what "the troops" thought of Rumsfeld or anything else, we'd wait to hear it from the troops.
