If there ever was a group of people who I thought would be steadfastedly behind Bush, it would be that cabal - the Neo Conservatives. Their idea was always to use the might of the USA to propel the wayward but oil-rich countries of the world into our way of thinking. An esteemed cause, in their eyes.

Well, not anymore.

The so called Architects of the Iraq War are now calling out the Engineers of the Iraq War as the worst bunch of professionals ever assembled to do anything. In the latest Vanity Fair article, there's a preview of what's to come in the January 2007 issue. It's some pretty damning stuff to the administration.

Of all the rants, I found the following lines from the neocon David Frum (the Bush speech writer who crafted the infamous State of The Union Axis of Evil speech) about Mr. Bush the most damning and revealing:

"I always believed as a speechwriter that if you could persuade the president to commit himself to certain words, he would feel himself committed to the ideas that underlay those words. And the big shock to me has been that although the president said the words, he just did not absorb the ideas. And that is the root of, maybe, everything."

Yes, David - do you want a medal now that you finally figured that out?? Didn't you see through all the glad-handing and back-slapping that behind all the bravado and tough talk is a brain that is essentially incurious, incapable of critical thinking? Take away his ancestry, and he would have accomplished a big zero in his life. You trusted that man and his cronies with a plan to remake an ancient land, a land whose history he now probably wishes he had studied more closely?

So now you have just over 2,840 American soldiers dead, and God knows how many Iraqi's dead, and the future of  the Middle East hanging in balance.

Bravo, neo cons!

Andrew Sullivan thinks so too. I agree.

So Kerry botched a joke. But he didn't botch a war now, did he?
