Former Defense Policy Board Chairman Richard Perle called former CIA Director George Tenet "sloppy by nature" and criticized his new book At the Center of the Storm. It's an interesting situation because neither man has much credibility with the public. Perle and the neo-cons have gone after every administration defector for years now, while Tenet is obviously trying to stir up buzz to increase his book sales. My question for Tenet is "where were you a year ago? Two years ago? Three years ago?" If he really believed that the Bush administration did such a terrible job in the lead up to war, then why didn't he say anything before it became politically popular and his book came out?

Iraq is like Vietnam, we could bomb every single city to ash and we still would not win. The notion that we can continue to point guns in their faces until they love us is an illustration which is costing our nation untold billions.
