Richard Perle. Idiot?

Richard Perle said the following at an American Enterprise Institute conference on September 22, 2003: "A year from now I'd be surprised if there's not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after President Bush." I guess he's ... um ... surprised. It's amazing that the fact that these AEI neocons, together with indicted / convicted thief/liar Chalabi rope-a-doped us into war in Iraq isn't a massive scandal. 1,000 lives so Perle, Feith & Wolfowitz can test out some idiot thesis.
