But let me tell you how I really feel.
From the Progress Report:
WAR ON TERROR – PERLE'S LACK OF WISDOM: The WP reports this morning that "Pentagon adviser Richard N. Perle, a strong advocate of war against Iraq, spoke last weekend at a charity event that U.S. officials say may have had ties to an alleged terrorist group seeking to topple the Iranian government and backed by Saddam Hussein." The event "generated enough concerns within the administration that officials debated whether they had the legal authority to block the event." And "the Treasury Department on Monday froze the assets of the event's prime organizer, the Iranian-American Community of Northern Virginia." Perle said he didn't know the terrorist group was involved and that he thought the event was for the victims of the Bam earthquake. "All of the proceeds will go to the Red Cross," Perle said. But the Red Cross announced it wouldn't accept any money from the event, stating, "accepting the funds would 'compromise our fundamental principles of neutrality and impartiality.'" Perle declined to say how much he was paid for his speech.
If you need your memory refreshed, check my recent post on the subject.
And let me try to understand Perle, the man who thinks we can't get tough enough on terror. Or, let me ask him a question: Rich, should you be in Guantanamo? Should you be under investigation? Should you be on a no-fly list? Other people who contributed to Muslim charities seem to have found themselves crossways with Mr. AssKKKroft's department for contributing to terrorist organizations that were fronted by those charities.
He didn't know. He didn't know. He thought it was a charitable event for earthquake victims.
"And f*ck you, America. What are you gonna do about it?" he said on his way to the bank with his speaker fee.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
