Wolfowitz Warns Iraq's Neighbors Not to Interfere (Great Ironic Quote)

[Khephra]

snip...............

Wolfowitz, one of the architects of the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, told a news conference in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul that Washington would, however, welcome outside help.

"I think all foreigners should stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq," said Wolfowitz, who is touring the country to meet U.S. troops and Iraqi officials.

"Those who want to come and help are welcome," he said. "Those who come to interfere and destroy are not."

"I think our success will have a positive influence not just on Iraq but on the whole region," he said. "Some people are afraid of that influence and they are targeting us."

[Rose Siding]

3. Yeah, when wolf starts talking about our success

you know he took the pill that makes you smaller.

[NNN0LHI]

12. Just ask Alice... n/t

[I AM SPARTACUS]

16. And if you go chasing rabbits and you know you're going to fall...

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"

20. Huh?

Are we in Kansas yet?

[IndianaGreen]

2. Should we quote a British commander in Iraq back in 1917?

"Our armies do not come into your cities and lands as conquerors or enemies, but as liberators."

Maj. Gen. Stanley Maude

19. Napoleon Bonaparte said the same thing when he attempted

to conquer portions of the Middle East. They tossed him out, too, after a few short years.

[Zero Gravitas]

4. Too late

Wolfowitz should have listened to his own advice a few months ago...

[4dsc]

5. What an asss

I need a good laugh this morning and wolfowitz provided it..

[Aidoneus]

6. damn it all..

another Irony Meter explodes.. I go through these things so quickly these days!

[Exultant Democracy]

26. Don't listen to him speak too much

or your head will be next. It is BushCo's new evil plan, kill all us leftist pinkos by having our heads explode.

[jos]

7. LOL

I don't know if the man is a comedian, is stupid, or is drunk on the arrogance of power. I suspect the latter.

[joanski01]

8. Cong. McGinnis

should tell him to "shut up".

[Patriot_Spear]

9. This is the same Putz who orchestrated our soldiers deaths...

...I have no doubt there will be a special place in hell for this piece of work.

[Q]

10. The Bushies caused more damage with their 'shock and awe'...

...bombing than Saddam did in his entire reign of terror.

- But at least Halliburton and Carlye are making a profit.

[Jack Rabbit]

11. For once he said something that makes good sense

Too bad he doesn't realize what he said.

[ILeft]

13. Prosecute him for "criminal hypocrisy" or "negligent irony"

The quotes are among the most offensive things I've read in weeks. It's almost as if the sob is challenging us to call him on his bs, knowing we can't...yet.

"The U.S. military has also said some foreign fighters have been trying to slip into Iraq to mount attacks."

[wtmusic]

14. These people are truly insane n/t

[htuttle]

15. The Bush admin needs to start taking irony supplements

They obviously have an irony deficiency...

[damnraddem]

17. You have to understand the meaning of his words:

citizens who can meddle in Iraq = neocons from the U.S.

foreigners who cannot meddle in Iraq = Iraqis, other non-Americans, liberal and moderate Americans

[bemildred]

18. Makes me wonder who the "foreigners" are?

It's the first time I've heard us whining (this loudly anyway)
about outside interference.

I was not aware of any large scale foreign interference
at this point, I thought everybody was being careful to
let us stew in our own juices while keeping their own hands
clean.

[Johnyawl]

21. Religious fanatics...

...from Iran and Saudia Arabia.

[Oilwellian]

22. Indeed

Bush sent America's sons and daughters into the heart of the Middle East to be sitting ducks for any islamic extremist with fatwah in hand. There's no way they can secure the entire border of Iraq and prevent these groups from entering. Why is it we're blaming the governments of Syria and Iran yet not Saudi Arabia?

[Fovea]

23. Because Bush cannot

Bite the hand that feeds him, yet. That comes in the second term.
His Saudi 'partners' are protected from on high, as they were *before* 9-11.

Remember, he has more in common with *them* than he does you...

[Zero Gravitas]

24. instead

shouldn't we be blaming the US Government for this mess?

[are_we_united_yet]

25. Wolf

Perhaps you are better suited to architecting houses, maybe software.

US led invasions don't appear to be your strong suit.

[Nambe]

27. Definatly the "quote of the Day" Maybe the year.

[peterh]

28. "forces of reaction"

US Secretary of Defence Paul Wolfowitz has insisted attackers not be called "resistance". He says they should be called "forces of reaction" whose sole aim is to restore Saddam to power.

<http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,6788836%255E663,00.html>

It’s not that certain Iraqis are resisting American occupation, it’s because they are “reacting” to American occupation. <I dunno…just sitting here with a disbelieving grin>

[ignatius]

29. Good God, do these people ever actually think before they

open their idiotic mouths? What's next, putting N. Korea on an axis of evil?

[indepat]

30. Does Wolfowitz's statement infer that we are not foreigners, that

Iraq is owned by the US?

[are_we_united_yet]

31. I think his statement infers

He's a moron

[Pallas180]

32. Whendid he start speaking for the USA. Did we elect him?Fascist

author of the plan to take over the world by the USA.

[neuvocat]

33. Maybe he just hates Bush

and will say shit to get him and the admin in trouble.
