Totally Not A Perle Necklace

Richard Perle is one of the right wing architects of the wonderful Iraq War. He made the famous quote, "We will be greeted as liberators." Obviously, dude is way smart. Now he has some doubts about the future of George W. Bush square in Baghdad.

FP: Does the rosy picture at all represent the country we see today?

PERLE: Is it rosy today? Do I think most Iraqis have been liberated? Absolutely. …Obviously if it deteriorates into chaos or a new Saddam emerges and people are no better off than they were before, then there won’t be [a square named after President Bush]. …I think [Iraqis] will look back and say, we paid a terrible price, but it’s worth it.

Wow. I can't believe there would ever be a reason not to name a square after Bush in Baghdad. This is very upsetting.
