Pentagon aide weighs course of action

BAGHDAD Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz arrived here Thursday for a five-day tour of Iraq to assess the Bush administration’s successes and shortcomings in the postwar reconstruction effort.
.
‘‘I’m here to understand what is needed to complete the transition to a government and society of, by and for the Iraqi people,’’ Wolfowitz said at the airport here in brief remarks to reporters traveling with him.
.
Over the next several days, Wolfowitz will crisscross the country, meeting with coalition troops, Iraqi politicians, American occupation officials and others, to get a firsthand sense for himself and for his boss, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, about what if any course corrections are needed in the postwar strategy. Rumsfeld visited Baghdad for one day six weeks ago.
.
A senior administration official said Wolfowitz’s priorities would include security, the economy and Iraq’s emerging civilian political structure. But the official said Wolfowitz planned to spend little if any time talking to officials engaged in the hunt for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, saying that was now a job for the intelligence community. A 1,500-member American team headed by a two-star Army general recently assumed responsibility for the weapons search. (snip/...)

1. I wonder how many vials of anthrax and how much ricin Wolfie

took over with him?

2. That's what I

was wondering except I think it/they will be easily
traced back to 1,2,3 or 4 countries that are on the
shit list.

3. Problem is

at this time planting anything could
and would be suspect by usual suspects.

I think they realize that they are in a sense cooked.

They plant them, well if they do it as profesionally
as the rest, they will be caught, they don't... well
they are cooked.

Also these guys are suffering from hubris, who needs
the evidence? Joe Sixpack had a show and now has
moved to survivor. Only way to make Joe watch, would
be Survivor, the Iraq edition... now that might
include some Antrhax, for wheover gets voted out of the
Island.

5. How Nazi-esque

"The company" is now ending their man to survey the ill-gotten booty.

6. Does Wolfowitz have a pulse?

Does his boss, Rummy? How about his boss, Bush? Or his boss, Cheney?

If they did, it's probably oil running through their black hearts.
