Did Wolfowitz really pee his pants after the attack?

[Timefortruth]

I heard a rumor that there are photographs of Paul right after the attack and he may have lost it, so to speak.

Now this is likely wishful thinking, but does anyone know for sure?

[eyeontheprize]

1. Don't know.

He is a coward and an old man so he could have. Wouldn't a picture be perfect?

[Kurt Remarque]

2. i like this rumor

maybe i'll spread it around anyway. ha!

[Changenow]

3. Not quite accurate...

The rumor I've heard is that he CRAPPED his pants. If nothing else he looked like crap afterwards.

4. You likely couldn't tell

but it Depends.

[ThorsteinVeblen]

12. You are guys are both wrong

I have it on the highest authority that Wolfie both pissed and shit his pants when the rocket hit his hotel.

[Timefortruth]

14. But could you tell?

Or does it Depend (get it?) on how careful Wolfie was that day?

[thebigidea]

5. according to rumor, he pissed his pants then sobbed hysterically

mumbling about Richard Perle the whole time.

[Minstrel Boy]

15. What I heard was that he pissed Richard Perle's pants

but that wasn't until much later.

[spotbird]

16. At least they had fun.

Pissing and moaning.

There is an honest irony that even for a moment one of them got to feel what it is that they subject hundreds of thousands to every day.

6. you've never been shot at, have you? n/t

[spotbird]

8. No disrespect to the real heros intended by me at least

but the picture of a chickenhawk in genuine peril is laughable.

[submerged99]

10. I have

I have.

[Jackpine Radical]

17. Me too.

Successfully, unfortunately.

[spotbird]

18. But do you care if Wolf let the pressure get to him?

It would be the first time, maybe in his life, that he had consequences.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

11. I haven't been shot at, and I'd probably pee in my pants, BUT...

...then again, I've never engineered, orchestrated, and propagandized a war so that many thousands of innocents would be shot, blown up, and otherwise killed and maimed.

So yeah, in my estimation Wolfowitz deserves every derisive rumor that's been spread about him, and then some.

File it under the heading, "How Does It Feel, Warmonger?"

7. Which attack?

9/11 or Iraq?

[Timefortruth]

9. Iraq, at the Al Rasheed

on 9/11 he knew he was safe.

[Norton]

13. 9-11 or Iraq???

What difference does it make?... Bush was responsible for both of them!

[Silverhair]

19. I was in Vietnam. It's OK to wet your pants, & soil them too.

The important thing is, even though you are scared, you keep doing you job. True bravery isn't not having fear, but in conquering your fear.

[Silverhair]

20. I need to clarify that.

Upon reading it after posting it sounds like I am defending him. I usually, (Not always) make a distinction between disagreeing with someone over policy, and a personal attack. I don't like the latter, unless the person has made their personal life part of the issue. I don't know if he kept on doing his duty or not. I have no idea. But if he wet his pants, I give him a pass on that.

[Hogarth]

21. Well-said

I just soiled myself and after having cleaned myself up, it seems like it might be time for bed.

But wait! I still have beer!

[Timefortruth]

22. Yeah, and if you peed your pants and then sent thousands

to fight while you went safely home would you be considered a hero? Isn’t a large part of the hero thing fighting and defending during grave peril, or is it now heroic to be bombed in your luxury hotel while sleeping then get the hell out of Dodge with abundant armed escorts? An if that is now heroic, what word describes the men and women who fight for a cause they have been convinced is right?

on edit: Nevermind in light of your second post. It was never about his peeing his pants, it was about his being a coward first and afterward.

[Hogarth]

23. Again, well-said

I'll just nod.
