Reply #7: The thing that bothers me most about this asshole and others like him

[calimary]

and what they're saying now with their "mea culpas:" They seem to be preaching the message that it wasn't the IDEA behind the war that was "just awful." It was the EXECUTION. They seem, still, to think that they were basically correct in their assessment of the situation, AND the validity of the PNAC strategy they came up with. The only thing wrong with it, evidently, was that it was implemented by a bunch of doofuses (doofi?) who were agonizingly incompetent. I know richard perle has said, in recent interviews, that if he knew it was gonna turn out this badly, and be handled by such wanton nincompoops, he never would have pushed for it. Well, that's where I'm uncomfortable as hell. Because it indicates that these assholes have not seen their ideas discredited and the reasons for tearing the Middle East from stem to stern as horrid, it's that nothing was wrong with the ideas - they were just carried out badly. Give them a new set of implementers and ball-carriers, and they'll be back. They won't have learned ANYTHING. And they have NOT seen the light. These men remain unredeemed, their souls NOT saved. Because if they thought they had better people in place to carry out their evil, wretched, bloodthirsty, greedy schemes, they'd be pushing those same schemes again IN A HEARTBEAT.

This Mr. "Cakewalk" hasn't learned a DAMNED THING. Nor has any single ONE of his buddies.
