This from Reuters:
"If you want to try to wait until the very last minute, you'd better be very confident of your intelligence because if you're not, you won't know when the last minute is," Perle told Reuters on the sidelines of an annual security conference in Munich.
"And so, ironically, one of the lessons of the inadequate intelligence of Iraq is you'd better be careful how long you choose to wait."
Perle is one of the top U.S. neoconservatives who advocated a pre-emptive invasion of Iraq to topple Saddam and seize alleged stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. No such stockpiles were found after the war and U.S. President George W. Bush has acknowledged that the intelligence was bad.
Richard Perle, a key architect of the U.S.-led war against Iraq, said on Saturday the West should not make the mistake of waiting too long to use military force if Iran comes close to getting an atomic weapon.

I really don't think that Bush and company are really that stupid to start slapping around the beehive that is Iran right now, unless they really do want the next world war to break out. (are they that crazy
To me this is clearly meant to keep the voters scared and use the talk of war to pump up the Republicans and minimize the Democrats for the election in 2006. I just hope that America will wise up fast enough to see through this charade.
This guy really creeps me out.
Update: Of course Perle's keeper Baron von Rumsfeld wasn't far behind in Munich. I'm sure they were meeting to discuss the next round of the propaganda offensive.

when this happens, the dollar is not the world reserve currency any longer, hence the value of the dollar goes to shit. Perle and his reptilian minions can't and won't let this happen. that's why they're in such a rush, they've got to
perpetuate the current global economic order. THAT is what is driving this. they have to stop iran from fighting us economically, so we have to fight them militarily. soooo fucked.
