Perle --Reason # 14 of why we went into Iraq, Saddam Had To Be Removed...
So I guess there was no pressure to find those WMDs or any of the other reasons given up to now.

An Amnesiac Teller of History...

3. Funny Little Timmy never asks Perle About the Office of Special Plans in the Pentagon and...
... the falsified intelligence that came out of that office that Bush used to lie us into war on Iraq.

Not newsworthy I guess..

Richard Perle, Walking Disaster

by Christopher Deliso
balkanalysis.com

You would think Richard Perle would have learned by now. Even after having been implicated twice for insider strong-arming and profiteering over security contracts – and after having been caught with his fingers deep in the Hollinger honey pot of self-awarded, multimillion dollar bonuses – he still cannot seem to keep his mouth shut, instead lashing out blindly in every direction and thundering against the entire world in his over-the-top new book. Still, while it's admittedly getting increasingly hard to separate the man from the parody, there is nothing funny at all about the sordid story of Richard Perle.

Has Perle Gone Too Far in Antagonizing the CIA?

If Perle's slick dealings aren't enough to end him, the fallout of his small war with the CIA and State Department just might do the trick.

Everyone knows that Perle and the neocons, including Vice President Cheney's office, have long detested the "weak" CIA and State Department. They have philosophical differences-literally – with the agency's "unimaginative" methodology, and they have made Colin Powell's tenure as Secretary of State a thwarted, humiliating tragedy. Still, Perle cannot seem to go one peroration without attacking either or both bodies. As he recently told the Christian Science Monitor about the CIA:

"…heads should roll, not in a punitive or vindictive way. But when you discover you have an organization that doesn't get it right time after time, you change the organization, including the people.... I would start with the head. George Tenet has been at the CIA long enough to assume responsibility for its performance."
