Time to shift focus everyone: Bush Adviser: Today's administration Is Dysfunctional”

An Administration Ally Goes Off-Message (Richard Perle)

Eyebrows popped up last week when none other than Richard Perle , former Reagan assistant secretary of defense, former Bush brain-truster on the Defense Policy Board, and a key promoter of the war to find Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, blistered the administration as "dysfunctional" when it comes to stopping someone from bringing "a nuclear weapon or even nuclear material into the United States."

2. oh, no . no . no .
This isn't what it might look like. Read the caveat.

"I think we have an administration today that is dysfunctional," Perle said. "And if it can't get itself together to organize a serious program for finding nuclear material on its way to the United States, then it ought to be replaced by an administration that can."

But President Bush , Perle emphasized, is not to blame for this sorry state of affairs. "I haven't the slightest doubt that if one could . . . put this proposition to the president, he would first be shocked to learn that we don't have the capability. Secondly, would immediately order that we develop it."


You didn't really believe that Perle was badmouthing his fall guy?
(Has he aged about a billion years?)
