Wolfie admits errors in Iraq planning
Today's Chicago Tribune, Front page, Paul WOlfowitz admitted that they (he) miscalculated the need for troops. "I would say that things were underestimated, the one that almost no one that I know of predicted . . . was to properly estimate the resilience of the regime that had abused this country for 35 years."

Riiiiiight, paul. Let's ignore State, a whole boat load of retires US military generals (some of whom you personally forced out because of those very same predictions), most of the UN, the UK, Germany, France, Russia. Riiiight, paul.

Draft Dodger.

I wonder what he would say to the mother of an 18 year old killed in this cluster fuck??

"Your kid died for Freedom, fighting the terrorists". Now go back to watching Kobe's trial.

HE"S SCUM.

What a f***ing liar. He should be fired and put on trial for treason along with all the other neocons!

3. Dupe

But in case you decide it's not a dupe, I'll say the same thing here I said there:

Maybe if he hadn't dodged the draft and maybe if he'd gone to Vietnam, the rat-fink bastard would have understood how hard it is to identify native resistance in a guerilla war.

4. When they start trotting out people like Wolfie,...
...they're starting to panic.

Big-time.
