Paul Wolfowitz --- Quit Whining it could be worse.
Iraq war architect Paul Wolfowitz, joining Donald Rumsfeld in downplaying the U.S. death toll in Iraq: "The price that American soldiers . . . have paid is high -- it's been higher in past wars in sheer numbers -- but it's high, and every one of those statistics is a personal tragedy."

1. It's my country, they're our soldiers...
.. and I'll "whine" if I want to.

Except I call it speaking out about a horrible outrage against
humanity and human rights.

4. "By the time Dunham got to Wolfowitz's student deferment during Vietnam"
On another day when the Iraq war was tearing Washington apart, a leading architect of that war, Paul Wolfowitz, was donning sheep's clothing over at the National Press Club.

...

Only when questioners pressed him about Iraq would Wolfowitz address the subject. "How do you account for the intelligence failures regarding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?" he was asked.

"Well," he said after a long pause, "I don't have to."

Being Wolfie means not having to say you're sorry. Nearly three years ago, he offered some of the most memorable forecasts about Iraq: that it was "wildly off the mark" to think hundreds of thousands of troops would be needed to pacify a postwar Iraq; that the Iraqis "are going to welcome us as liberators;" and that "it is just wrong" to assume that the United States would have to fund the Iraq war.

...

"His admirers have called him the intellectual high priest of the neoconservatives," Dunham said in his introduction. "I can't repeat some of the things his critics have called him."

Wolfowitz pursed his lips and sipped his coffee as Dunham recalled how Wolfowitz "drew fire from Democrats for predicting that US forces would be welcomed as liberators."

By the time Dunham got to Wolfowitz's student deferment during Vietnam, Wolfowitz was shaking his head. Wolfowitz, hoarse with a case of laryngitis, said he had received some lavish introductions before, and "this isn't that kind of introduction."
