Time: none for foolin'
Place: In high dudgeon
I speak of course here of Paul Wolfowitz, the intellectual force behind the early Bush Iraq policy. This is almost as funny a title as his neocon ally Bill Kristol's claim to fame, the "brains behind Dan Quayle". That's like having the best teeth in Britain.
Apparently his father-in-law got him a job as the dean of the Nitze School of International Studies
Paul was the under-secretary of defense who said the war would pay for itself with oil revenues. He also said that JCS General Eric Shiseki was "wildly off the mark" with the estimate of several hundred thousand troops to occupy Iraq. Why he said this is a mystery, for when asked (shortly after the "Mission Accomplished" photo-op) by noted commie Republican Senator Richard Lugar whether there was any concensus in Iraq to stay one country, he replied that he didn't know, we'd have to wait and see.
He'll go down in history as having locked up the dumbest thing said in the 21st century only three years in, by proclaiming that the occupation of Iraq would be like the occupation of France after World War II. Don't let him in your Lotto pool!
