...Apparently the difference between Al Franken asking Wolfowitz about the war on terra at a Fox News dinner and average Americans asking Wolfowitz about the war on terra on the white house web site is that Wolfowitz only replies "fuck you" to Franken. As we know, Wolfowitz casts no reflection in a mirror and must return to his coffin by sundown, so let's sample a few of his more heartfelt, inspirational responses:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/ask/20040625.html"Saddam Hussein led one of the most vicious regimes in the world. He not only invaded his neighbors, but he oppressed his own people with incredible brutality. Moreover, he sponsored and promoted a number of the most vicious terrorist groups in the world, including al Qaida.
But Saddam’s old gang and their terrorist allies won’t go down without a fight. That is why there is so much violence in Iraq today. That is also why we say that Iraq is presently the central battle in the war on terrorism. The terrorists understand that their defeat in Iraq will be a major victory for us.
As the President has said repeatedly, the safety of the American people depends on U.S. leadership in the global war against terrorists, their organizations, and the states like Afghanistan and Iraq that support them. In Iraq, the vast majority of the people support our presence and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. They are not interested in having their country occupied, but they also know that our presence there is essential if that country is not to slip back into the control of the brutal minority who controlled it for more than 30 years. As an Iraqi said to me during my recent trip, “In my heart, I would like you to leave now. But in my head, I know we need you to stay.”
In a few days, the new Iraqi government will take over. For the first time in a generation, peace-loving Iraqis will have the opportunity to govern their own country and to get on with their lives. We will only stay as long as we are wanted and needed. But we will leave behind a government that does not represent a threat to the U.S. or any other country."
