A Fine Day in April for Clarke

Dana Milbank in the Washington Post describes a lively hearing before the House Armed Services Committee with Richard Perle and Gen. Clarke as witnesses, a repeat of a 2002 hearing,
Same Committee, Same Combatants, Different Tune (washingtonpost.com).

See his website for his statement.

Yesterday was a glorious day in April for Washington, the weather turned warm (no sign of global warming this spring), the cherry blossoms are out, even the Nationals won their first game ever. And, reading between the lines of Milbank's piece, it must have been perfect for Clarke. What's sweeter than saying "I told you so" on such a perfect day?

[Full disclosure: I had reservations on the war but generally followed Bill Keller.]
