Speaking about Rummy resigning, get rid of Wolfie too

He was the architect of the Iraq war. Just because his Straussian ass likes to hide behind the scenes doesn't mean he isn't at fault too. Even if the whole administration resigned today it wouldn't have been soon enough for me. These clowns have done generational damage all the way from Medicare to Foreign policy.

2. That would be SWEET!

Especially since Wolfie is the author of some of the original neocon propaganda from back in the early 1990's. What a dispicable man and waste of presumably human genetic material.

4. I think Wolfowicz was one author of what became the neocon agenda,

Edited on Fri May-07-04 10:37 PM by Ilsa

and I believe he started writing it in the early 1990's. I believe I heard this on Frontline: The War Behind CLosed Doors. (Obviously, he wasn't the only one. Sorry if I misled you.)

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/iraq/themes/

Here's a link with the background info for this show. The third paragraph spells out his role:

Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz has been at the center of Pentagon strategic planning in both Bush administrations. A hawk on the use of U.S. military power, Wolfowitz took the lead in drafting the 1992 Defense Planning Guidance on America's military posture toward the world. The draft said that containment was an old idea, a relic of the cold war. It advocated that America should maintain military strength beyond challenge and use it to preempt provocations from rogue states with weapons of mass destruction. And it stated that, if necessary, the U.S. should be prepared to act alone. Leaked to the press, Wolfowitz's draft was rewritten and softened by then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney. Ten years later, many analysts see a strong resemblance between President Bush's 2002 National Security Strategy and Wolfowitz's 1992 draft.

5. It's in the public domain. Go to the following site:

http://newamericancentury.org/

It is the site for the Project for a New American Century, the madmen who dreamed up all this crap, most notably Wolfowitz. All their documents and letters are there, browse around. They did a lot of writing while they were out of power during the Clinton years. They are signed by all the principals, so it's not as if they are hiding it. You talk about this to the average American (particularly Repubs) and they act like you are some crazy conspiracy theorist, mainly because they are too lazy to dig around and read about stuff like this.
