    Many people are aware of Richard Perle’s name and equate him with being “An Architect” of the Iraq War. In fact, most people have only heard of Perle in relation the Iraq War. Perle has been working to correct the public’s thinking on this matter of fact.

    Perle has penned an essay of over 4,500 words in the latest issue of “The National Interest” entitled, “Ambush on the Potomac.” In the essay, Perle asserts that, “I have been widely but wrongly depicted as deeply involved in the making of administration policy, especially with respect to Iraq.” He goes on to state that, “Facts notwithstanding, there are some fifty thousand entries on Google in which I am described as an “architect,” and often as “the architect,” of the Iraq War. I certainly supported and argued publicly for the decision to remove Saddam, as I do in what follows. But had I been the architect of that war, our policy would have been very different.”

    Clearly as of late, Richard Perle is attempting to distance himself from not only the Bush Administration, but the entire Neo-Conservative Movement. Could that be because of the possibility of future war crimes charges? Perle doesn’t believe so.

    On Saturday, January 10, 2009, Richard Perle participated in a forum called, “Challenges for the Obama Administration,” which was aired on Monday, January 12, 2009 on CSPAN.

    Fielding questions at the end of the 50-minute forum, Perle is asked, “Do you think that you and the Bush Administration will ever face war crimes?”

    Perle addresses the question by saying, “If you think that I’m guilty of a war crime it is because of the views that I hold, because I was not part of the Bush Administration, I was not a decision maker; and I think one wants to be careful about discussing things like war crimes.” (Emphasis mine)

    You can watch the entire video here and the question about war crimes is around the 47-minute mark.

      this old sack of bones is a waste of air and should be charged with War Crime Charges to the fullest.

      Just like most of the WWII Nazi criminals who said they were just doing what they were told. this same douche bags of the Bush Admin. will do the same.

    4. Dawn Says:

      It’s about time this was brought up, not too many people are talking about it. Thanks Joe & Infowars!

    5. Samson Babayan Says:

      Of course he is going to deny it!!! Perle is full of demons…the love of money is the root of all evil.People will sell their own mothers for it!!! Perle, wolfowitz, Rumsfeld(who coincidentally lobbied aspartame a proven neurotoxin) Bus---ler, Cheney(Mr. former CEO of Halliburton). In the very near future they will all be sacrificial lamb for the new world order.As satan will wipe the slate clean and pull the rug right out from their feet(what he does best ).Satan will come for his price(the soul’s of these men).

      What a piece of Zionist crap.

    7. Old Man Says:

      I had a dream that someone kidnapped this smug Jew cocksucker and left him standing in the middle of a thousand Palestians. What a dream!!!

    8. Old Man Says:

      HEY INFOWARS, WHERE’S MY POST?????????

    9. Sir Baby De Porky Says:

      Ha…ha…ha…sniff…sniff…sniff…It’s a toss up !!!

    10. Neocon Narc Says:

      Wash and Wash!!

      But just like a pig telling you he does’nt stink from rolling in the pen.
      You are still a pig!!

      Like a Neocon claims he is not trying to control the outcome of others.
      It is in their nature to convince us it is an illusion.
      Why wolf..what big claws you have…
      These things are just for opening canned food.

      I would never use them to eat someone. Sure they are part of my body and I cannot deny.
      But you would be a conspiracy theorist to blame me for grandma’s disappearance.

    11. West Coast Ghost Says:

      ok maybe he is not the architect but he was a junior partner, so………………..dont hang him by the neck untill dead
      just hang him upside down in front of the capitol so we can all have a few swings at our so very trustworthy(sarcasm) leaders as we watch our tax dollars at work!

    12. Jorge Says:

      People who hold dual citizenship should NOT be allowed to serve in governmental positions, they should have to renounce their foreign citizenship. Perle should have been put in jail for passing on secrets to Israel in the 70s when he was an aid to Scoop Jackson.

    13. jerry Says:

      War Crimes charges?????????????? not in our lifetime will any of the Bush / Clinton neocons & warlords be brought up on charges. Not as long as incoming administrations obey the unspoken and unwritten rule of leaving their own kind alone…….no matter what. Should most of the Bush people be brought up????????? Absolutely, but it aint gonna happen folks. Obama is one of them himself and has surrounded himself with the same species that Bush did. They just call themselves democrats instead of republicans. the one thing they all have in common is they are all TRAITORS” and sellouts!

    14. jeff Says:

      Herein lies the problem, in Perle’s own words “I was not a decision maker” I know it is only an assumption, but im willing to bet dollars to donuts that he didnt raise a peep to object. Everyone passes off responsibility. Im getting really tired of the I was just following orders attitude. Imagine if Ron Paul said, well im just 1 of 435, so ill stand down and go with the flow or if our founding fathers sadi that. Make a stand paid disinfo agents, your future is on the line and possibly your soul.

    20. Bruce Clark Says:

      Correction to posting 21: the Nazi Regime lasted from January 30, 1933 until May 8, 1945, somewhat over twelve years altogether, and, while Israel’s crimes against humanity and war crimes cannot and should not be palliated, to maintain that Israel has been doing “much worse [than Hitler] for a much longer span of time” is nothing if not indicative of the creeping and ineffably creepy undercurrent of anti-Semitism too often apparent in these fora.

    21. The Thane Says:

      Saddam was a ratzo anyway, however. Now after the War crimes, and grand thefts have been achieved, and he is one of their designers, now he claims that the policy would have been different if he was The Architect!…lachaiiiimm Dick!

    24. vicky Says:

      Below are quotes from the article asking why MSM has yet to expose their crimes? Read these again:

      “The mainstream media continues to refuse to comment on, or cover the factual events of, Sept. 11th, 2001” ……”Why is it our mainstream media decline to further investigate their own reports?”……” Why is the mainstream media refusing to do their job?”……..” Even MSNBC’s Pete Williams, in an interview with WeAreChange.org, refuses to comment on the attacks and the premature mainstream media reports”…….” Where has the mainstream media been all these years?”…….” Why does the mainstream media continue to act as though they are complicit in the grand cover-up of the psychological operation otherwise known as the attacks of 9/11?”……” somehow, someway, and really it’s up to the press”…….” Once they [mainstream media] come out and start talking about this, then maybe the people of this country will realize that this is going to happen”

      This article was written by someone at wearechange.org My question to you is….are you guys really this ignorant? It’s like asking the church why they haven’t come forward and outed a pedophile priest. It’s like asking the mafia why they haven’t turned themselves in to authorities. Spoiler alert!!! The media was as criminal, culpable, conspiratorial, liable, responsible, murderous, treasonist, backstabbing scum of the earth parasites as ANYONE that may have participated in 9-11. THEY WERE IN ON IT!!!!!

      Firstly: The US mainstream media is OWNED by US military companies. Are these same military owned media outlets that have made 100’s of Billions of dollars going to expose 911 and the War on Terror as a complete fraud and hoax and end their massive money spicket? No. GE, General Electric which owns NBC news and paid the insurance for Larry Silversteins WTC complexes, has made by itself 0ver $250+ Billion dollars in continued military contracts because of 9-11. This does not include the additional $250 Billion it received from the fraudulent mortgage bailouts. (Basically partners in crime from all respects) Westinghouse OWNS CBS news. Group W as they are called has made Billions because of 9-11. Very unlikely you will see 60 minutes do a story about the fact that no commercial planes existed on 9-11 which would completely expose the 911 fraud and hoax….a topic that not even wearchange.org will allow you to even speak of. FOX news and Murdoch gave us the video of 911. Watch “September Clues” for an introduction into just how vastly criminal the media was on 911.

      All top members of the media are part of the CFR, Bilderburg, and the Trilateral commissions….Tom Brokaw for example. All the heads, owners, and executives go through the revolving door of politics, government, military, and media. Cheney, Obama, Rumsfeld, and 1000’s more were all executives and on the boards of media companies before politics. The media companies are now saying it is illegal to even view video of 911 because they “own’ the right to the footage?!! The world is waking up to the fact that there were no commercial planes on 911. That exposes a great deal!!!! It exposes the media’s lies and conspiracy to commit fraud, it exposes the fact that they faked videos, highjackings, and staged news reports. It exposes the insurance frauds of Silverstein and everyone in between. It exposes the military to attacking its own service personnel and the US public on US soil to stage illegal pre-emptive wars in sovereign nations. It exposes the murders of millions of innocent civilians, thousands of military dead, trillions of dollars spent, and billions of people effected for generations to come…..all because the media will never report on itself.

      US media, just like US government and military…..must be reexamined and possible new laws and regulations instituted to never allow a financial connection between government and military reporting. In other words…once you realize the true impact of what no planes on 911 means….you will understand that the only true change must come about by starting from scratch with regards to media, military, and politics.

      Media, like religion, is based on trust and faith. The media completely destroyed ALL trust and faith on 911. Once the world comes to terms with the fact that there were no commercial planes on 9-11and that the media has lied and covered it up ever since…..you can never again trust or believe in ANYTHING the US media tells you….ever. The fact that even so-called “truth groups” have yet to realize this and still rely on the “media” to expose themselves….allows one to even question these groups own agenda and cover-ups? One month after 9-11…Bush went before the UN and demanded that we never acknowledge “conspiracy theories”.

      Do you know which “theory” he was referring to? He was talking about never investigating 911….but more importantly….never investigating the debris from any of the 4 planes from any of the locations on 911. TO THIS DAY…NOT ONE SINGLE PIECE OF DEBRIS FROM ANY OF THE 4 PLANES FROM ANY OF THE 4 LOCATIONS ON 911 HAS EVER BEEN VERIFIED OUTSIDE OF THE WHITEHOUSE. The FBI now claims that it never tested or verified a single piece and that it doesn’t have to because they “saw it on TV”(media). Ps…..In the history of aviation….photos, video, and witnesses have never proven a plane crash. Only verifiable WRECKAGE proves a plane crash…..and not one single piece out of a potential 13.1 million pieces from 9-11 has ever been verified. Not one.

      By careful of the upcoming “media bailout”. There is going to be a provision that gives immunity for the staged and conspired reporting on and from 9-11…..almost identical to the telecom immunity for illegal wiretapping. Once the world comes to terms with no planes on 911 and how they were lied to…the world will want blood from these trust news sources…..and it will be too late.

    25. T-Bob Says:

      It sounds like someone is beginning to worry about punishment for his crimes. I see this as a sign that the elite finally realizes that “We the People” are going to bring this nations real criminals to swift justice.

    26. T-Bob Says:

      Vicky,
      While your info is basically factual, it dances around the core truth that with the exception of Ted Turner, and questionably Rupert Murdoch, the entire media machine is dominated by Zionists. Setup a Yahoo free mail account and have it delver you news by Keyword. Set it to report on the phrase “World Jewish Congress.” Be prepared to be surprised at the stories you read daily, these guys have their stubby fingers in everything!

    28. teacherman Says:

      Nice post. Good clear writing. Glad to see you expanding your horizone Joe.

    29. I am me I am free Says:

      “the Israel Lobby and US foreign policy” Should be compulsory reading in every American school.
      It goes along way to expose these evil yellow bellied frog mouthed cowards.
      These cowards that spread the putrid smelling disease called zionism, and drag other nations into disaster, fighting their proxy wars.
      They are now occupied inflicting a holocaust upon the inmates of an extermination camp called Gaza.
      Stopping only when their blood lust and need for destruction has been temporarily stilled, until the next opportunity

    30. republicanSScareme Says:

      Richard Perle should be on the first boxcar to Golgotha.

    31. militantsgotohell Says:

      The Bush administration needs to be on trial for war crimes, this should take place in the first 100 days of obamas presidency. Bush should have been impeached immediately following his goat reading stunt when the country was under air attack, reading about goats when advised that his nation was being besieged. that act alone was enough to get impeached.

    32. Wayne Pacific Says:

      Richard Perle should be given a fair trial and when he is found guilty, he should be hung by the neck until dead. We will spare him the torture,beause that isn’t the American way.

    33. powerease Says:

      Perle is one the most central figures in the pack of NeoCon physcopaths who are quilty of the deaths of hundreds of thousands innocent Iraqi men, women and children. What you are now seeing is Perle beginning the calculated PR process of “washing off the blood while stepping over the corpes and severed limbs of the innocents whose deaths he canted and raved for.

      Perle could not tell anyone the name of any of these Iraqi dead but he can recite without hesitation the name and complete history of any dead Israeli over the last 50 years.

      This is because in souless world of the ghoul Perle, the blood of a jew is more valuable then the blood of a muslim and this simple fact is proven over and over again every single day in the Middle East.

      wrote in his blog yesterday that an washington insider told him obama plans to bring all neocons including bush to justice.war crimes trial and prison
      who knows?

    35. Eddy Says:

      Ones “opinion” does indeed hold the potential of being criminal. For instance, Incitement to terrorism is likely punishable federally and otherwise. The definition of terrorism has become rather broad – just ask the neocon administration……I would be careful about being too smug.
