I don't suppose there's anything I can add in particular to the glorious sight of neoconservatives like Richard Perle, Ken Adelman, and David Frum saying that Bush is stupid and Rumsfeld is incompetent. At first I was consumed by rage at these cowards who refuse to acknowledge any consequence to anything, ever. And the rage is still there, no doubt.
But when I saw Perle's comment that he only told the truth because he believed it wouldn't be published until after the election, I had to laugh. I mean, there's cowardice, and then there's cowardice about your own cowardice. Meta-cowardice, if you will.
There's one thing we must object to though, all of us: The neoconservatives have no right - none whatsoever - to claim Rumsfeld was incompetent.
