Richard Perle is Delusional

And repulsive.

"Almost everything you've heard about [Chalabi] is false," Perle said. "The CIA, which doesn't like him, has been out of control on this issue."
Perle described Chalabi as a brilliant patriot who sacrificed a life of comfort in the United Kingdom for an active role in the rebuilding of Iraq.
"We should have handed him the keys the day Baghdad fell," Perle said.
Perle praised the efficiency of the U.S. operations that ousted Saddam Hussein but faulted the establishment of the Coalition Provisional Authority, which precluded the transfer of sovereignty back to Iraqis until June 2004.
"I think we made serious mistakes after the initial military action," Perle said. "It was a benign occupation but it was an occupation nonetheless, and people don't like to be occupied."

And extremely dangerous.
