sent NPR a message saying Wolfowitz is a potty-mouth, among other things.

Wolfowitz is a very dangerous human being, the lies and hypocrisy flow out of his mouth with such ease and the lies are so clever, ever so clever.

“I am myself a man of peace to the very depths of my soul” writes Wolfowitz and he talks about forgetting the past, something he is a bit of an expert on himself.

“But if I were convinced that any nation had made up its mind to dominate the world by fear of its force, I should feel that it must be resisted;” he continues, Um, you mean just like the United States is doing right now?

I love the way Wolfowitz does his best to frighten us with a nuclear wielding Saddam Hussein all so familiar and all so wrong. I can only conclude that though Wolfowitz seems to know his history that his mind is so sick and twisted that he is incapable of reaching any sane conclusions from it.

I really had to do a second take when I read this blurb from NPR.

“Personally, Wolfowitz remains something of an enigma.”

Actually not. Wolowitz is anything but an enigma, he is a despicable murdering thief and is as corrupt as they come. Between the right wing talk shows and the glowing, fawning tributes to Wolfowitz from NPR it is little wonder that people seem so confused.

Wait. NPR is so unfair. Forgot to mention that Wolfie loves cats. And he once sent a check to the United Way.

Fuck him.

Andrew Bacevich's son was just killed in Iraq. His parents were informed on Mother's Day. He was their only child.

Mr. Wolfowitz, please go to hell!

But assuredly, Socrates, does not idealism mean pursuing virtue? And does not virtue mean helping one's friends and harming one's enemies?

Those that talk the toughest are always the most insecure, folks. I have always had the gut feeling that these neocon brainiacs are welfare queen nerds underneath, only that they are in a position where they can get away with that they do, so they pose and strut.

This is why Noir is my favorite film genre. Nothing else prepares you more for reality.

It's time that we progressives too, prove to our friends that we're worth a damn.

Just another asshole, too bad they are no longer a dime a dozen, government subsidies (not scarcity of assholes) have raised the price.

Re: Bernard's comment--correction, Andrew was their only son, not their only child. They have three daughters. Which is not to diminish the tragedy.

Wolfie, the idealist who defended Suharto, the dictator who killed over a million people.

"If they fuck with me or Shaha, I have enough on them to fuck them too."

He has the soul of a poet.

It is to be hoped that the next century will be one of great opportunity for the improvement of life on this planet and the expansion of human creativity, not one scarred by the deep tragedies that marked much of the last century. But we will have a far better chance of achieving that aim if we remember how we got to where we are today, rather than burying the divisions of the past in a warm and fuzzy nostalgia.

woops. well, i guess it would have lasted longer than a couple years if saddam hadn't been exactly like hitler.
