Paul Wolfowitz: "I'm Astonished By Paul Wolfowitz"
The New Yorker has a long article here about Paul Wolfowitz. There's a lot about Wolfowitz in the article to make fun of, but one of the most obvious things is this:
Wolfowitz said that he was astonished by the argument of some war critics that, with no imminent threat from Iraq, the overturning of Saddam was unwarrantedâ€â€an argument that he believes implicitly accepts Saddam’s brutality.
It must be hard for Wolfowitz to get to sleep at night, considering that he finds himself so astonishing:
"...there have always been three fundamental concerns. One is weapons of mass destruction, the second is support for terrorism, the third is the criminal treatment of the Iraqi people... The third one by itself, as I think I said earlier, is a reason to help the Iraqis but it's not a reason to put American kids' lives at risk, certainly not on the scale we did it."Posted at October 25, 2004 11:07 PM | TrackBack
