Mea Culpa by Richard Pearle is BS..
He blames Bush for all the failures, not the neo-con policy.

Bush is a useful idiot for the failed policy in Iraq. Someone they can point to and say "we didn't f*ck up, it was him"...

Bush's plausible deniability allows the neo-con policy to live for another day, another time in history.

Until the cancer is cut out of the patient and IDENTIFIED as a cancer, it survives.

The PNAC plan (bringing democracy to the Middle East)was nothing more than a cover story for imperialist capitalism to gain leverage over the economy of China.

Dealing with dictators has always been a policy of the US. From the point of view of US foreign policy makers, who work for monied interests, the dictator was "bad" if he insisted on a fair treatment of his country and his people. Which is why you see people like Chavez demonized and dictators like the Shah of Iran praised.

Where US corporations were allowed to exploit the country, they were good dictators, where they were not allowed to, those were the bad guys..

We're not supposed to notice that corporations making money at our expense in Communist China is okay, but Communist Cuba is a threat....

2. According to
National Review Online, they've admitted nothing. They're whining that they were misquoted.
