From Vanity Fair -
As Iraq slips further into chaos, the war's neoconservative boosters have turned sharply on the Bush administration, charging that their grand designs have been undermined by White House incompetence. In a series of exclusive interviews, Richard Perle, Kenneth Adelman, David Frum, and others play the blame game with shocking frankness. Target No. 1: the president himself.
This was not unexpected but it is sad. The three men mentioned above are supposed to be highly intelligent, yet they seem completely incapable at this juncture of stepping back and reviewing their worldview. One would assume at this point the thing to do is ask the tough question related to the ideology that took us to Iraq instead of blaming the entire failure on mere incompetence. (Not that incompetence in the execution of this matter is insignificant)
