Richard Perle

Pity Richard Perle.

He hoped for the best and didn't plan for the rest.

Never crossed his mind that there might be major frictional costs to a war-of-liberation in a land with serious doubts about the liberators, right, wrong, good, or bad and a neighbor anxious to exploit the situation.

Thinks that failing was what happened after the invasion, not with the lack of foresight before it.

Saddam is dead. Maybe a trillion dollars or more in cost later, he still thinks that was worth the good of that justified death, too.
