TV Review | 'The Case for War'

Advocate of the War Explores Its Impact
By ALESSANDRA STANLEY

Richard N. Perle can sleep at night.

If “The Case for War: In Defense of Freedom” is any guide, this former chairman of the Defense Policy Board who so fiercely lobbied for the invasion of Iraq enjoys the deep, flannelly slumber of infants and the well medicated.

In an hourlong, first-person tour of his thinking, Mr. Perle admits neither mistakes nor regrets. The war is not even his main concern. Instead, Mr. Perle, a leading neo-conservative, uses much of tonight’s segment of the weeklong PBS series “America at a Crossroads” to argue that the United States should foment regime change in Iran, regardless of what Iran and other nations think.

“There’s got to be some advantage to being a superpower,” Mr. Perle tells Patrick J. Buchanan, the conservative columnist who worked with Mr. Perle in the Reagan administration.

“This sounds like the Neo-Comintern,” Mr. Buchanan replies, looking more than a little aghast. “I mean, the Soviet Union, that was their idea.”

Faux? Is someone/anyone affiliated with the DLC NOT a whore?

OK, now he LOVES every Dem, hallelujah! And Imus is the anti-Christ.
Ugh.

4. It's a real shame to see Harold wasting his skills with the DLC

He was hurt by Imus' schtick?

Rose: Did the punishment match the crime?

Ford: (sounded like wiggle wiggle to me)

5. He just said he 'admires' David Brooks. 'Nuff said there. Yuck! nt

7. Whoa: "deep, flannelly slumber of infants and the well medicated."

That's some line! I'm thinking well-medicated myself. Or, as we all know, no conscience, so no problem!
