In this instance we have a "damage repair man" in the form of Clarice Feldman who is well-known for his function in life, who alleges he was "only just able to reach" Richard Perle (that's fortunate!) to get his views corrected. This is fairly normal stuff with this admin.

The decisions did not get made that should have been. They didn't get made in a timely fashion, and the differences were argued out endlessly. At the end of the day, you have to hold the president responsible. I don't think he realized the extent of the opposition within his own administration, and the disloyalty
get changed to this:

I believe the President is now doing what he can to help the Iraqis get to the point where we can honorably leave. We are on the right path.
