Paul Wolfowitz

[Field Of Dreams]

I was half listening to the replay of the Sunday morning news shows on C-SPAN radio in the car today ... I thought I heard a commentator say that Wolfowitz was expected to leave the administration sometime soon?

Don't remember which show it was.

Did I totally mis-hear this?

What's up with Wolfie!

1. It seems like the PNAC plans are being quietly put to rest.

I might catch some flak from some people for not believing that the Bush* administration is going headlong down the worst possible course, but yeah, this is what it looks like to me. There was a certain hubris they were displaying right around the end of major combat that I really don't see now. People were even talking about going right after Syria or Iran immediately after. Now...you really don't see that - I think they realize it all doesn't just work like they thought it does. It would be embarassing to have them talk about starting other wars in the midst of this. Even Donald Rumsfeld had some of his duties relating to Iraq superseded by Condoleeza Rice.

3. These people need to be brought

up on charges for what they have atempted and have done to do this country. Coulters's treason was really directed toward them and she will say that is what she meant when that house of cards comes tumbling down.

4. Don't bet on it

PNAC plans may be toned down for now but this is a Project for a New American *Century* (hey have 97 more years)

5. Now Wolfie and Richard Perle can scheme without being in the midst

of potential government whistleblowers.

2. Well, I would like to think

that their moment of glory has taught them something. Every plan they have made, every clandestine plot to take over the world and make every country a vassal state to the US so far has failed. Miserably.

Iraq was only the first one in a string of countries they planned to invade and take over. After 7 months, they get an F- for their efforts.

All they got for their troubles was a world turned against them, a bankrupted treasury, and a quagmire which threatens to suck us in ever deeper with each passing day.

But does this mean they've wised up to their own stupidity, that they made SO many mistakes along the way that they're going to be "good guys" from now on?

I'd like to think so. However, I seriously doubt it.

6. Small blurb in US News hinting he's leaving as early as Feb

Rummy's No. 2
Word is that Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz may bow out as soon as February. Replacement requirements: a strong manager, one who can repair relations with the military and could take over for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Several names have bubbled up, including Deputy White House National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley, a former Pentagon assistant, and NASA boss Sean O'Keefe, a former secretary of the Navy.

IMHO O'Keefe who presided over the Columbia disaster is another incompetent.
