Perle says war is over except it isn't

If they still give out the Doublespeak Award, this right-wing oaf is a good candidate for it.

Richard Perle is one of the big brains behind the failed Iraq War. But now he's spouting off a bunch of lies and contradictions in order to simultaneously paint the war as a success and to shirk responsibility for the fact that it's a failure.

Perle has written a piece called "We Won Years Ago", in which he: 1) says "we have already won in Iraq"; but 2) claims the war is "far from over" and that America still needs to be involved in it.

Kindly make up your fucking mind, Richard. Is the war over, or is it not?

Perle also repeats the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction at the time of the invasion of Iraq. It's as if he thinks that if he repeats a lie often enough, people will believe it.

Who but an evil Bushist warmonger can lie and contradict himself so shamelessly and actually expect people to fall for it?
