The Wolfowitz enigma
I surprise myself by my ability to keep being surprised at this administration's decisions. Within a week of appointing a UN hater as America's ambassador to the UN, Bush has decided to nominate the third world's public enemy #1 as the guardian of the third world.
Paul Wolfowitz, most frequently referred to in press bios as "one of the chief architects of the Iraq War," has made such brilliant predictions as the American troops being greeted with candy and flowers, a statue to Bush being erected in Baghdad by grateful Iraqis, and the not-so-accurate notion that the war would cost America $1 billion at the most. On the other hand, he was only off by $199,000,000,000. So far.
Which brings me to this clip from The Daily Show: Video
It really is a shame that we need to turn to a comedy show for stories that should make headline news around the nation. But that's how things stand.
NOTE: The link is not for people with dial-up connections. It's an 8-meg download. If you can't access it, I'll sum it up for you: Wolfowitz= lying crook.
