I stumbled across this in a Washington Post piece on how some (but not all) of the neocons are turning against Bush. Here’s one of the wise men from the American Enterprise Institute:

“There’s a question to be sorted out: whether the war was a sound idea but very badly executed. And if that’s the case, it appears to me the person most responsible for the bad execution was Rumsfeld, and it means neocons should not get too angry at Bush about that.“

Unbelievable, even by the low standards I have for these lunatics. They accept the fact that Rumsfeld probably botched Iraq, but say people shouldn’t get angry with Bush for (1) appointing Rumsfeld, (2) letting Rumfseld run the war in Iraq, and (3) sticking with Rumsfeld in the face of widespread calls (many of them from former generals) for Rummy’s resignation.
