Vanity Fair has an interesting article entitled: NeoCons Turn On Bush.
Some very damning remarks from the likes of:
Richard Perle
Michael Ledeen, American Enterprise Institute freedom scholar
Frank Gaffney, an assistant secretary of defense under Ronald Reagan and founder of the Center for Security Policy
Kenneth Adelman
David Frum
Michael Rubin, former Pentagon Office of Special Plans and Coalition Provisional Authority staffer
Eliot Cohen, director of the strategic-studies program at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and member of the Defense Policy Board
One of the most desparaging remarks:
“[Bush] doesn’t in fact seem to be a man of principle who’s steadfastly pursuing what he thinks is the right course. He talks about it, but the policy doesn’t track with the rhetoric, and that’s what creates the incoherence that causes us problems around the world and at home. It also creates the sense that you can take him on with impunity.”
Written by David Rose of Vanity Fair who had this to say: “I expect to encounter disappointment. What I find instead is despair, and fury at the incompetence of the Bush administration the neoconservatives once saw as their brightest hope.”
David Rose will present his findings in full in the January issue of Vanity Fair, which will reach newsstands in New York and L.A. on December 6 and nationally by December 12. In the meantime, read his brief survey of some of what he heard from the war’s remorseful proponents. Neo Culpa
