Thinking of Wolfowitz and the rebuilding of the middle east...
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 06:49 PM by HypnoToad
Wasn't he in Iraq when his hotel was hit, but sadly he wasn't injured?

What are the US top officials doing in Iraq given the obviously violent mess it is in?

Here's a gut churning article, too:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/10/28/national2139EST0829.DTL


A badly wounded American colonel, who had grown up in Beirut but lives in Arlington, Va., gave Wolfowitz the thumbs-up when he was asked: "How do you feel about building a new Middle East?"

"It's just an amazing spirit," Wolfowitz recalled.


:eyes: Think about this and what I'm about to quote and it's obvious the Bush cabal cares only about the acquisition of oil.

and


"They're trying to scare us out of Iraq," he said. "The reason Iraq is a dangerous place today is because there are people who can't stand the thought of a free and peaceful Iraq."


Gee, the same people are like a broken record player, they keep spinning on an axis and chanting the same gaudy lyric over and over and over again. The reason Iraq is a dangerous place today is because liberation was NEVER EVER a goal and Bush nor his reich-wing cohorts had no clue as to how to approach the situation.

1. Georgetown U. students were hostile to him
when he made a speech there a couple of days ago - audience questions from the students were hostile - got the toad all riled up. He tried the old "well, then, you must be a supporter of Saddam Hussein, if you opposed the war" on them when they questioned the rationale for the war. What a jerk!
