The centrifugal forces caused by the Bush Bunch's failures are becoming irresistable within the GOP -- even between once solidly united NeoCons who pushed for the Iraq War in the first place. Now even hardliner nutcase Richard Perle is attacking the Administration. Look for this infighting to become increasingly nasty as the NeoCons realize they are losing power, and try to pass the blame off on one another.

Neoconservatives decry execution of Iraq war
POSTED: 1:04 a.m. EST, November 4, 2006
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A leading conservative proponent of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq now says dysfunction within the Bush administration has turned U.S. policy there into a disaster.
Richard Perle, who chaired a committee of Pentagon policy advisers early in the Bush administration, said had he seen at the start of the war in 2003 where it would go, he probably would not have advocated an invasion to depose Saddam Hussein. Perle was an assistant secretary of defense under President Reagan.
"I probably would have said, 'Let's consider other strategies for dealing with the thing that concerns us most, which is Saddam supplying weapons of mass destruction to terrorists,'" he told Vanity Fair magazine in its upcoming January issue.
Asked about the article, White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said, "We appreciate the Monday-morning quarterbacking, but the president has a plan to succeed in Iraq, and we are going forward with it."
