How many Neocons have turned against the Iraq War?
I'm making a Wikipedia Category so this can be documented.

2. This is really disgraceful. Not only are these guys chickenhawks, but
they don't even have the basic honesty to own up to being the principal architects and advocates of this monstrosity.

5. FUCK these FUCKING FUCKS:
Richard Perle: "Huge mistakes were made, and I want to be very clear on this: They were not made by neoconservatives, who had almost no voice in what happened, and certainly almost no voice in what happened after the downfall of the regime in Baghdad. I'm getting damn tired of being described as an architect of the war. I was in favor of bringing down Saddam. Nobody said, 'Go design the campaign to do that.' I had no responsibility for that."

6. If this isn't being "an architect of the war" I don't know what is....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNAC#Criticisms_of_position_on_Iraq

'Some critics of the Bush administration see the 1998 letter to President Clinton as a "smoking gun",<13> showing that the invasion of Iraq was a foregone conclusion. These critics see the letter as evidence of Rumsfeld's, Wolfowitz's and Perle's opinions, five years prior to the Iraq invasion. Other signatories of the letter include John Bolton and Zalmay Khalilzad, as of this writing the United States' ambassadors to the United Nations and Iraq, respectively. Rory Bremner, citing the letter, said "that's what they want — regime change — and nothing, not Blair, not the UN, not Hans Blix, not France, Germany, Russia, China, not the threat of terrorism, or Arab reservations, or lack of evidence or the Peace March, not even our own brave Jack Straw is going to stand in their way."<14> George Monbiot, citing the letter, said "to pretend that this battle begins and ends in Iraq requires a willful denial of the context in which it occurs. That context is a blunt attempt by the superpower to reshape the world to suit itself."<15>'
