Tim then quoted part of a Friday Boston Globe in which Sen. Dick Lugar slammed the sloppy planning for postwar Iraq and and the high cost of stabilizing and rebuilding Iraq. Wolfie tried to excuse himself and Little George as he whined on about the complexity of planning a postwar operation (oh, yes, Paulie War-nuts -- it's just too complicated to deal with, so it's better to skip it entirely and assume you can stabilize Iraq with "Operation Seat of Our Pants" -- which has quickly morphed into "Operation Hoist on Our Own Petard").

Tim then needled Wolfie about Lugar's assertion that the war planners had been "naive" about the resources needed to control Iraq after the war (you could see Wolfie starting to glare -- he was visibly enraged that "their" boy Russert seems now to have turned on the Department of Defense to the point where Rumsfeld may commission a deck of NBC News "enemies of the regime" playing cards) -- and then jumped down Wolfowitz' throat about criticizing Gen. Shinseki when in fact he had Wolfie himself underestimated the number of troops needed to stabilize postwar Iraq. You could see Wolfie's discomfort, but he managed to keep his voice calm as he said that debating the issue is "not productive (translation: it makes us look bad, so get off the goddamn subject, Russert) -- and that the estimates were "not wildly different" (of course, that's dependent on what the meaning of "wildly divergent" is).

but hey, if the world wants to spin as Wolfie getting spanked......I have no problem with that.

SNIP:

"Tim thereupon smacked Wolfie around over that ill-conceived "mission accomplished" banner that had been prominently pinned across the aircraft carrier from which "Top Bum" Bush Jr. had declared an end to "major combat operations" against Saddam's inept armed forces. Wolfie was stupid enough to step right into the brown sauce, spinning the "mission accomplished" banner as saying the mission of the pilots on the carrier had been accomplished."


*****It was sooooooo OBVIOUS that Wolfie knew the questions beforehand. I almost suspect that Wolfie gave Tim the questions to read. After the clip and the question about the Mission Accomplished stuff...Wolfie looked down and on a piece of paper right on top of his pile of "notes", read a portion of Bush's carrier speech.

Now......If I remember correctly, MOST interviewees do NOT have paperwork in front of them.

This was as staged as the carrier landing........I have no doubt in my mind.

Do you mean that you think Wolfie's being served up as the next fall guy?
