The disagreements among Republicans over the Bush administration’s obsession with invading Iraq are becoming a gaping divide. Brent Scowcroft’s Wall Street Journal op-ed, arguing that an invasion in the short term would be a disaster, is getting most of the press, but this quote in this morning’s New York Times lead story jumped out at me for its sheer venom directed at Richard Perle, the hawk who has been ring-leading the “Get Saddam” campaign: “Maybe Mr. Perle would like to be in the first wave of those who go into Baghdad.” That’s not some pinko talking — it’s Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel.
