I think this war is a terrible mistake, so I'm pretty sympathetic to the thesis you're putting forward, but I consider myself unqualified to tell how well it's going, and with that in mind I'd go with: yes. All these neocons suddenly turning into doves strikes me as a particularly bad case of sour grapes, they're salty because they're not the ones who get to do it.
Would he "flush his whole ideology"? I don't see why not, a few years later they can flush what he's saying now - see also, as you pointed out yourself, his description of the Iraq war.
