For those that don't know, he is the current architect of the Iraq war. Unfortunately, my first though after hearing this was that it doesn't matter since he accomplished what he set out to do: start a US occupation of Iraq for the sake of Israel, as he outlined (with Feith, currently #3 as uder-sec of defence for policy) in Clean Break .
Apparently the New Yorker article on his war profiteering really exposed him. Not that it will stop him. I doubt Trireme will be hurting any. Well, Cheney's next to go. Let's pray enough people start taking about it to make it happen.

...a US occupation of Iraq for the sake of Israel...
Mr. Hussein? Posting on MY BOARD!?
I'm honored!
His financial dealings can't have been that bad. After all, Peter Jennings didn't ask him a single question about them when he was on the other night.
And it's not just them. There are other organized groups like the New American Century, which, incidentally, these men are all a part of.
But Perle has been the leading intellectual. Anyone else notice that he's the administration's primary spokesperson to intellectuals? He's the brains of the outfit, you might say. In fact, that's precisely what it means to be the Chairman of the Defence Policy Board.

Hey!
Then he threw a catenary at me.
Israel can shape its strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq ? an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right ?
Uhm...am I just using a my anti-war, anti-PNAC schema here or is this really what I think it is.
To pre-empt an attack: Please no sarcasm. I am trying to determine whether this is valid or not.
Feith, for instance, is an award-winning zionist (Zionist Organization of America press release )
As shown above, Perle has spied for Israel. His current resignation as DPB Chairman (though NOT resignation from the board) was the result of two conflicts of interest involving two sperate incidences.
Wolfowitz is also a well-known zionist and a member of the Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs and the Center for Security Policy (along with the two above).
