When Wolfowitz left the World Bank in disgrace and landed at the American Enterprise Institute, he said he was leaving "open the possibility of rejoining the government." Brookings analyst Philip Gordon speculated at the time that "the need for Senate confirmation would be a big political obstacle" for Wolfowitz to be named to a

      The whole NeoFascist barrel was full of trash, so no matter where you reached, all you got was trash!

      This guy, though is the absolute worst specimen of mankind. The most suitable job for him would be cleaning up the open sewers in Baghdad!

      Or gives them Medals of Honors and dumps them.

      Wolfie is like radioactive waste. No matter where you dump him, he will be causing serious harm.

      Wolfie did such a great job with Iraq and WMD, so he certainly will do at least as "well" on Iran, especially since we now know that Bush was informed that the Iranians had halted their nukes program in 2003. Bush knew about this, but it didn't stop him from talking about World War III. Wars are so fun and profitable. Wolfie is a good cherry-picker. He will surely pick enough cherries to prove to the president that he must attack Iran, of course in the "best" interests of the military-industrial complex ... er, I mean the USA.

        Wolfie started under Dumya's dad when he put preemptive war in the defense planning guidance in the early 1990s.

        Then Condi made Clark deal with Wolfie before the problem of terrorism could be kicked back up to the Bush cabinet. So, Dumya went out to try and set a record for being on vacation until Clark finally got the brief titled OBL Determined to Attack Inside the USA through Wolfie, that mentioned the use of planes - but, Dumya and Condi ignored the brief before 911... they all belong in jail for conducting preemptive war for which we helped convict 11 Natzis to hang after WWII.

        American Enterprise Institute, home of the neocons, should be burned and the members classified as terrorists to American ideals!

          Bush held a press conference this morning, trying to sell yet more fear among Americans and the world.

          He is looking very much the fool now, and moreso everyday!

          The Bushies and their former Repug Congress have surely proven that newt's Contract to America was just a bunch of absolute lies! What a terrible party, the party of Watergate, Iran Contra and now Plamegate, the only actual convictions at the presidential cabinet level this past century!

          Then add no ethics changes by Hastert as a result of either the Foley or Abramoff scandals and you understand why the repugs won't even get rid of Craig when at least 8 other men have come forward now. The Repug party doesn't survive on principle, it survives on big money for votes for the rich, period! Then, the lies and deceptions to coverup same!

            These bunch of guys remind me of when I was about 14 years old, one guy would find a line that worked with the girls and we were all impressed. Since the begining of the Iraqi war we have all grown up except for this small group of people who are still 14 years old and still useing the same line. Come on guys grow up. Oh I forgot they don't have to, their friends will look after them until they die.

                "It doesn't matter how many of GWB cronies are embarrassed, shamed, kicked out...

                The thing is, they *aren't* embarrassed, shamed, or kicked out. Just look at that disgraceful ho from Idaho, Larry Craig. He was headed out the door and then he thought about that $14,000 per month plus benefits and perks we pay him and made a U-turn. It looks like it's going to take a few graphic personal accounts from some of the guys he's been spreading his legs for in restroom stalls across America to embarrass his constituents.

                  God, if the Congress could have gotten some of these fools to testify under oath... we would have gotten a lot more of them for perjury and obstruction of justice... even if Dumya pardons them, we'd see more of their lies/deceptions revealed... maybe even enough to convince a few Repugs in the Senate to go along with impeachment and conviction of at least Cheney!

                    There are two things that alarm me about this. The first is Woefull-wicks himself, a guy that was completely wrong on Irag's WMDs is now an expert on WMDs? YIKES!!! That's like putting someone who can't add or subtract in charge of the largest math department on the planet. I smell a rat by the name of dead-eye dick.

                    The second thing is the national intelligence report that has been kept out of the public eye for a year. It looks like dead eye dick lost the battle to keep it secret (the report says Iran stopped its nuclear bomb development program in 2003).

                    Maybe dead-eye dick got Woefull-wicks back to help undo the damage the intelligence report did to his war plans with Iran.

                      Just goes to show you what quality credentials are a necessary prerequisite for employment in Bush's Government.

                      How did this man ever become President and then to be reelected. Doesn't speak volumes about the intelligence of the average voter.

                          ...it says a lot about how Repugs have learned to manipulate the American vote... why Reagan vetoed the Truth In Telecommunications Act. Why the current Repugs have blocked the Fairness Act... why Faux Fox Facts still parades as fair and balanced but lies and deceives... why the current FCC Chief for Dumya is trying to allow all your local news stations to be purchased and then provided canned news from a central location! Its all about domination to the Repugs and fooling the average voter to get it!

                                Did we find the WMD that caused us to invade Iraq? Huh?

                                            Good grief ! What a poor choice. Wolfowitz lacks any credibility. How can anyone trust in his judgment whether or not he's been right or wrong in the past? He's been so vilified that he'd be in my opinion ineffective in any job requiring trust.

                                            By the way in order to be totally objective did anyone notice the portions highlighted in red and then go to read that part? In many cases the highlighted portions had nothing to do with what the author said which was another in a long line of hatchet jobs. I think that Wolfowitz screwed up enough things so that an objective piece could have been written as to why he's a terrible choice to advise anyone again.

What damage are they conspiring to produce now? War on China, Russia perhaps. Maybe another money grab/theft of social security funding.
