Neocons Criticizing Bush on Iraq War

You know you've got it bad when even your biggest supporters turn against you:

And now they have had a change of heart. Only three days before a crucial congressional election in which Republicans are poised to suffer heavy losses, top US neoconservatives, who had cheered the US invasion of Iraq, admitted that the operation may not have been that necessary, after all.

Neocons like Richard Perle, Kenneth Adelman and David Frum are denouncing the conduct of the war eventhough they supported the toppling of Saddam Hussein:

...they argued that the execution of the plan by President George W. Bush, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and others, was nothing short of "incompetent."

Perle thinks invasion was a mistake:

Perle, who once chaired the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board and in that capacity argued that Iraq was "a very good candidate" for democracy, said bluntly that if he could turn back the clock, he would not recommend invading Iraq now.

Adelman is particularly harsh:

Throwing party loyalty out the window, Adelman said that the Bush administration "turned out to be among the most incompetent teams in the post-war era."

The public agrees:

...opinion polls indicate nearly 60 percent of Americans now believe the war is was not worth fighting.
