Richard Perle, neocon extraordinaire, the "Prince of Darkness", wannabe destroyer of Islamic hordes everywhere has turned on his erstwhile pal George W. Bush with a vengeance reports the New York Sun. At a meeting of the Hudson Institute in New York Perle ranted:
He came ill-equipped for the job and has failed to master it. I do not meet the president, but from the people I meet who are close to him and from his speeches, I believe the gap between the president and his administration is without precedent... He was only in office a short time when 9/11 took place. … This president appointed people he hardly knew. He didn't know Colin Powell. He delegated a great deal. He thought he would give general direction and that the machinery would do what he wanted done. But the machinery wouldn't do what he wanted done.
Follow me over the brink for more neocon cannibalism...
Perle targets his ire at that hippie peacenik Condi and her pot-smoking, flower-power buddies at the State Department for Dumbya's stubborn inability to light Iran, Syria and Lebanon aflame:
The State Department is "institutionally disposed to settle problems through compromise, to settle rather than to fight," Mr. Perle said. This is dangerous because many enemies of America remain who are prepared to continue fighting when offered a settlement. "You cannot settle with Al Qaeda. You cannot settle with Islamist extremists. Those who suggest we can do great damage," he said.
It has got to be so hard to be a war-mongering, neocon shit-heel these days. Your entire philosophy discredited and universally reviled. Greasy pimps like Rumsfailed and Wolfie exposed as the sleaziest of corrupt hucksters. Amateurish boobs like Gonzales presiding over the embers of your dream of a world ablaze with the bodies of dead Iranians.
Sympathy for the Devil
And above all, all those Muslims walking around who should already be in mass graves. C'mon now. If you were the Prince of Darkness, how would you feel?
