1. Well, well

sadly I was right that they were doing a book... good news not the ones I was thinking, bad news, this one is even worst than the ones we were thinking.

Lord did anybody ever tell Richard that FICION IS SUPOSED TO BE FICTION?

3. Perle & France

Richard Perle was a guest on France 2 not many weeks ago. The discussion centered around Iraq, Bush, WMD's etc.. It was hard to understand why he was there. He had no defense against the obvious.
But, he is not to be underestimated. He is a clever and dangerous man. He was calm, quiet and dignified as the french compères tore into him.
I watched him a couple of hours ago on CNN International. He proclaims France no longer an ally as long as they are, in his opinion, trying to unite Europe against America. I have lived in France for 5 years and do my best to keep up with the politics. No, France did not agree with Bush's call to war but they are certainly not anti-American. I would say they are anti-Bush administration and if they are feeling the need to strengthen Europe it's due to Bush foreign policy.
What could be Perle's plan before a possible indictment in the french courts for bribery, money-laundering and misuse of corporate assets?

4. I read this a year or so ago

& aside from being incredibly bad (& rather torturous) fiction, it's very revealing about Perle's high importance of himself. When I read it, I was struck by the DoD (true American Hero's) vs State (Communist Sympathisers) setup given what we were increasingly learning about Powell vs Rumsfeld/Wolfawitz in the aftermath of the war.
