BLITZER: But Richard, given what we know now -- obviously, four years later we're all a lot smarter -- are you sorry that you had that sense, that drive to go into remove Saddam through military might?
PERLE: Well, I'm sorry that after removing Saddam we did not hand things back to the Iraqis. I'm sorry that we embarked on an occupation that became the basis for an insurgency against us. I think the right thing to have done -- and I said it at the time -- was to hand things to the Iraqis as soon as Saddam was removed.
Here Perle is almost as bad as Krauthammer. Blitzer should've asked Perle just WHO these Iraqis were who could start running the country?
