  • iNunchuk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Why wouldn't we hate him? What about the approximately 3,000 dead soldiers' family members who lost their loved ones because of a stupid decision he had made? Should they love him? Obviously this man doesn't understand the gravity behind: "With great power comes great responsibility." With such a position in State, why did he abuse that power and forego such an unjust war?
  • CloakandSwagger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Obviously, people will hate Wolfowitz and PNAC for providing the framework that kickstarted an illegal war, but I suspect their greatest concern isn't in addressing what we already know, it's in discovering what we've yet to find out.

    With Wolfowitz asking for mercy in this regard it becomes obvious that they're trying to divert the public's attention away from an even bigger issue.
    Wolfowitz and the rest of PNAC have been brutally ass raping the world and softly whispering "don't hate the playa, hate the game" since the 1980's and they certainly don't intend to stop what they've started.

    They'll direct your focus to Iraq to keep the public pondering on the past rather than dealing with the bigger issues that will develop over time long into the future if they continue to have their way. The PNAC blueprints are a do or die manifesto for converting the United States into a military industrial machine absent of any recognizable form of democratic government. These aren't silly mistakes that they're making, it's all by design.

    It will never happen. These slime-balls always get away with it.
