Bring on the Recriminations!

There's lot of buzz about this new article in Vanity Fair featuring some of the neoconservatives that pushed for the Iraq War. Kevin Drum has a great post about it, here:

It's worth saying very plainly what's going on here: the neocons are using these interviews to make the case that neoconservatism is in no way to blame for the disaster in Iraq. If they had been in charge things would have been different.

This baby needs to be strangled in its crib. The 1997 "Statement of Principles" of the Project for a New American Century, the neocon Bible, was signed by, among others, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Zalmay Khalilzad, Scooter Libby, and Elliot Abrams. All of these men were deeply involved in the formulation, planning, and execution of the Iraq war. The neocon creed was part and parcel of every move they made.

That's the teaser, go read the rest.

The long knives are definitely out. If the GOP loses both the House and the Senate, there's going to be a virtual Conservative bloodbath. Oh the coming schadenfreude...
