Wolfowitz Returns To Bush Administration As WMD Adviser
Wolfowitz Returns To Bush Administration As WMD Adviser
Newsweek’s Michael Isikoff reports that Iraq war architect Paul Wolfowitz has been rewarded with a new position in the Bush administration which will allow him to oversee classified intelligence and inform policies on WMD issues:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has offered Wolfowitz, a prime architect of the Iraq War, a position as chairman of the International Security Advisory Board, a prestigious State Department panel, according to two department sources who declined to be identified discussing personnel matters. The 18-member panel, which has access to highly classified intelligence, advises Rice on disarmament, nuclear proliferation, WMD issues and other matters. “We think he is well suited and will do an excellent job,” said one senior official.
Prior to the Iraq war, Wolfowitz established the Office of Special Plans in the Pentagon to skirt the intelligence community and peddle the most egregiously false claims of Iraqi WMD. In a Jan. 2003 speech, Wolfowitz referenced “Iraqi efforts to procure uranium from abroad” despite the fact that the claim had already been discredited by the CIA. A few months after the Iraq invasion was launched, Wolfowitz admitted that claims of Iraqi WMD was used as a political tool to achieve consensus for the war:
The truth is that, for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy, we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on which was weapons of mass destruction as the core reason [to go to war].
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 another senior government post. Laura Rozen notes, however, that Wolfowitz’s new position “doesn’t require Senate confirmation.”
Paul Wolfowitz’s career continues to shine as a stunning example of what Paul Krugman has called the “comprehensiveness and generosity of the neocon welfare system.”
UPDATE: Siun at FDL has more.
UPDATE II: Andrew Sullivan comments: “He’s advising Condi on WMDs. Curveball wasn’t available?“

I know traditionally this term has referred to the vast network of right-wing think tanks stocked with all manner of neocon nutjobs. But it should also include those cushy BushCo government jobs where sycophantic yes men draw from taxpayer’s teat, with no greter qualification than the willingness to parrot everything Bushie and Bill Kristol say.

This is true - Iran is in fact the #1 grower of sweet cherries in the world, and #5 in sour cherries.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:04 amWow — I see I’m still in the wrong line of work. If I was working for Bushco, I could secure a steady stream of promotions merely by failing in my job.
Of course, the downside would be trying to work while constantly holding my nose…

December 3rd, 2007 at 10:15 amI just want to scream whenever I hear people say things like, “it’s only one more year. How much damage could he do?”
The answer: PLENTY! and Why would we ever want to find out?
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:15 amThere are certain things one has learned to expect from this administration.
This is hardly surprising except that it took so long.
Same story with the “FEMA reporters” being disciplined by being promoted.
They just wait for a few news cycles to take the story down under the buzz zone, and…
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:21 amI just want to scream whenever I hear people say things like, “it’s only one more year. How much damage could he do
I agree 100%.
Just look what the Bush Killing Machine accomplished in less than 1 year :
9/11 & The Patriot Act (i.e.)
Good grief.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:22 amCan anyone see a difference in governments from the U.S. and Russia these days? Bad guys reelected and bad guys bringing in their corrupt associates. Wolfowitz has been disgraced, remember?

December 3rd, 2007 at 10:29 amAhem, so get America into a war, get the top job at the world bank, get fired for giving your girlfriend a huge raise, and this magically qualifies you to be an expert on WMDs?
WTF?
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:31 amPaul “Wolfie” Wolfowitz - Architect of Highly Illegal Neocon Iraq War = Hague Trial Conviction and Prison for life.
Wolfowitz has zero knowledge or credibility about WMD’s; in fact, being a total stoolie is a prerequisite for any job in Bush’s House of Horrors.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:34 amWhat kind of job did she offer Wolfie’s girlfriend?
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:35 amHe may be getting Wolfie in position for the next false flag operation which will result in martial law? The players are being jockeyed into their positions right now and, since this congress was too complicit to impeach these twisted neofascists running the show, this country will pay the price with their loss of freedom. It’s being staged right now - while Congress sleeps the sleeping sickness which blackmail induces.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:36 amDuring the 2004 debates Bush and Kerry both agreed that securing nuclear material in the former Soviet Union was one of the highest security priorities for this country. Last week some Ukranian and Hungarian smugglers were arrested trying to sell exactly such materials. Now we have Wolfowitz coming back to the Bush Administration to work in the nuclear proliferation field? Great.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:37 amI hope a PATRIOTIC U.S. soldier who was wounded for the LIES of WAR CRIMINALS like Wolfowitz puts a bullet through Wolfowitz’s head.
Plenty of dead soldiers would LOVE to do it, but they’re, well…
DEAD…

I agree with you 100% :
while this country is hypnotized by “Bread and Circus” (obsession with Larry Craig (and other sex scandals), or just plain don’t care : this country is experiencing a “a Fascist shift” — read Naomi Kline’s “End of America”
Our Fore fathers are rolling in their graves wondering why people aren’t mad. I bet if you ask the average person — they wouldn’t know about the Military Commissions Act. They are too busy with their Ipod, Iphones, SUVs etc . The latest invention etc to keep us dutiful (sheep) consumers.

Kay: I’ll look into the book you recommend. Also, there’s an internet flick - From Freedom to Fascism - which I recommend to everyone concerned about how deeply we’ve slipped from freedom and are within grasping reach of the neocon/fascist wet dream. We cannot afford to remain asleep or ‘unawakened’ if we want our democracy to survive. Bush and his crime cabal are busy undermining us in every way imaginable while congress and the public sleeps the hypnotic trance of lies and fabrication.

Perhaps Wolfie’s job will be to make sure the next country we invade under a pretext of having WMDs will ACTUALLY have those WMDs.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:48 amRU: Wolfie’s new position is part of the AIPAC/PNAC scheme for what’s to come. It has nothing to do with him being knowledgeable or credible because he’s neither. It has everything to do with Bush’s Israeli/US cabal.
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:49 amPatooty,
I have seen “From Freedom to Fascism”.
yes, read “End of America” by Naomi Kline.
It’s an eye opener.
But you already seem to have both eyes open. I wish I could say for the rest of the country.
While we descend into Fascism — this country continues to sleep. One thing Naomi Kline talks about is that (ie) Nazi Germany rose into power under a democracy. It was a slow, incremental process.
Same things thats happening today here.

Well, seems like Valerie Plame would fit this job description very well, but of course, they can’t appoint her, they already took care of that angle. This is just disgraceful. What in the world are the people in Congress thinking. Now, we have Bush setting the agenda so that his friends and cronies can keep this fiasco going and continue to make money off this illegal war (and perhaps another one) even if he does decide to leave office. This is more than disgraceful, it is, in the truest sense of the word, immoral.
Speaking of leaving office, I agree that they are setting the stage for martial law. I don’t see how they COULD leave office. I believe that even if the Congress won’t act, there are many other private citizens that are planning to file charges against him and his cabal as soon as they leave office. Remember, there is no pardons for treason.

Yes. You may use your iPhone.
I’ll allow it.
I was trying to make a point : that America (with it’s consumerism obsession) along with the complicit Media : all allow for the Bush Krime Killing Machine to stealthfully work on their criminal agenda.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:02 amThis is the democrats fault, for enabling and minimizing the transgressions of this government. If you don’t kill it, it will just keep coming back. There’s no way in hell this criminal should be allowed back in. And if the shoe was on the other foot, the GOP wouldn’t let that happen. They are effective at hammering down the nail.
If you fail, you fail, and the Bush team has failed. Wolfowitz should be a sore reminder of that, but instead he sails victoriously back into the white house as if nothing had happened. Why not hire Rummy and Pearle back, while you’re at it?
And this has all happened because the democrats have allowed the Bush team to appear both capabable and innocently fallable all at the same time. You pick one. Either the admin is effective, in charge, aware, on track and leading, (and held responsible for the results) or its incompetent. The dems should bite onto one and hang on. But when there’s no message, no clear picture for the public, Bush can lead one moment, then shrug his shoulders the next and weazel out of responsibility. 911? Who could have imagined they’d hijack planes? The memo was historical. Iraq? The CIA gave us faulty info, no one could be expected to know it was wrong. Last Throes? No one could have anticipated Iraqis would be militant. Enron energy debacle in California? Nothing Bush can do about it, states gotta work out their own problems. Katrina? Who knew the situation was that bad?
This is the core of the problem. As bad off as the GOP are, it should be a lot worse. It should be a disgrace for them. They should be hanging their heads down, there should be impeachement proceedings, there should be public ridicule. Instead, the dems back off, folks like Shumer shift and stammer and weigh their words. I mean, if someone can’t tell the different between a kiss and a punch in the face, you know what’s coming - more punches.

December 3rd, 2007 at 11:12 amBush doesn’t need to cancel elections, he will just change the rules.. Sort of like Putin and Chavez. He can sign another of his executive orders and cancel out the parts of the Constitution he doesn’t like or don’t suit him, and decide to stay in power forever.
Nobody has done anything to stop him so far. They haven shown him he can do what he wants with impunity.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:12 amWolfowitz needs access to secret intelligence to do his job of ignoring the intelligence…
Bizarre.

Clearly they are going to do what ever it take’s to remain in power untill they can colapse and steal all our asset’s…Any one with the power of reason can figure out they are planning and adjusting for a very long term occupation in Iraq…..Comitting us to war beyond 2015….Refunding, refitting and bribing anyone to come and die for their cause, using big buck’s we don’t have to support war forever..Moving little chess pieces around the board of life..This madness will end, but when?….The public will wake up but, will it be to late or is it to late already?…..What do we need to do to stop this madness…? The answer’s to all these question’s must remain with the informed and willing to fight……Blessings all, we need them…Peace

Lets hope Bushco is not that bold or stupid. There are alot of veterans, like me, that would not stand still for an open coup and total assault on the Constitution such as that.

I know. Most Americans are sheeple and would not revolt unless they couldn’t get their morning mocha from the local Starbucks.
Bush telling people that to support the US after 9/11 they need to go shopping made me sick. What an asshat.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:50 amWhere is the outrage, indeed! Unless one is taking mind altering drugs, Wolfy’s metamorphosis from neocon warmonger to the head of the World Bank (where he stole from it) to now “expert” on WMD’s - well, isn’t that a major accomplishment in one’s lifetime?
The fact is that other than being a Bushitco cheerleader and neofascist warmonger/architect in an illegal invasion of a sovereign country against all treaties and conventions, Wolfowitz is an “american embarrassment and total failure”. Most americans laugh out loud when his name is mentioned because Wolfy has become KING OF THE CHARLATANS!!
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:51 amThe realistic ‘bottom line” is that Wolfie is nothing more than another Bush “war criminal” who will be prosecuted by the Hague in 09.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:52 amWayne: “going shopping after 911″ is the level of smug attitude and evidence of fore-knowledge that, combined with sitting on his rump reading My Pet Goat and not even raising an eyebrow, let alone being frightened that we were under attack and getting himself safely into a bunker, all point to the now foregone conclusion that on some level it had to be an inside job. False Flag.

If they really needed an expert on WMDs, they could have hired someone like Valerie Plame or another Brewster & Jennings “employee” that actually has experience in the field.
But then, they really don’t want anyone that has any real knowledge. Thats why Bush wants a fellow PNACer, such as Wolfie.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:55 amThe number of americans who believe that on some level 911 was an inside job is rising every day - last poll was around 64% of americans. With each passing day and new evidence of the level of capriciousness and corruption of this administration, people are coming to the only conclusion left to them and to any rational mind.

I am not sure who was behind 9/11, but I feel there needs to be a better investigation to find out. Too many loose ends and questions not answered. Too many ties to the Bush family and others, like the terrorist getting pilot training from someone who was friends with Jeb, as well as that same person getting off after he was caught smuggling drugs in one of his planes. Never went to trial.
Too many loose ends, for what is the biggest crime on US soil.
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:05 pmSorry for the off topic:
I guess it didn’t work out so well for Chavez..
Comment by nwmuse
nwmuse, I’m really not so sure about it. Chávez could have won if he wanted, he has all the state apparatus at his disposition in order to produce a fraudulent outcome (which is the rule here in Latinamerica, unless organized people or very big money is thrown at the opposition).
See his statement after the loss:
“To those who voted against my proposal, I thank them and congratulate them,” he said. “I ask all of you to go home, know how to handle your victory.”
He insisted that he would “continue in the battle to build socialism”.
“Don’t feel sad,” he told his supporters.
“For now, we couldn’t do it,” he said, repeating words he spoke after his failed coup attempt in February 1992.
But he said he would continue to push his reform plans.
“I will not withdraw even one comma of this proposal, this proposal is still alive,” he said.
For a bully-mouth like Chávez those are not harsh words like the ones he uses when addressing other people. I think this is a way to appease the opposition, IMHO.

Although I agree that it is “interesting” don’t hold your breath if you’re actually thinking that the public will get any justice!
‘Taking bets on how fast the term, “executive privilege or national security will come up in order to deny the judges subpoenas. It is a nice gesture but I doubt a single one of these people will ever step foot in court, mostly since this administration no longer recognizes courts or Congress, or silly little subpoenas anymore… so trite.’
http://www.city-data.com/ forum/ politics-other-controversies/ 190022-aipac-espionage-trial-may-subpoena-rice.html
Do you think this is why they’re taking Wolfie under their wing now? So they can claim he can’t testify because of “national security”?
the link above goes on with this:
‘As Judge T.S. Ellis has already said, “The government’s refusal to comply with a subpoena in these circumstances may result in dismissal or lesser sanctions.”
Smith also believes that if Michael Mukasey is confirmed and sworn in as Attorney General, his record suggests that he will move to have the case abandoned.’
Am I understanding this right? Not only would Wolfie and Rice theoretically not have to testify but then those two AIPAC crooks/traitors would get off with a slap on the hand?
Why is okay to spy on the U.S. if you’re giving the info to Israel?
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:59 pmIs anyone concerned he’s probably going to pass whatever WMDs he finds to whomever he’s currently schtupping?

December 3rd, 2007 at 1:03 pmThe comment below and the one in my last post are from a blogger named “TnHillTopper” who expresses my feelings on the whole sham (AIPAC trial/Wolfie/Bush admin) very well:
“I tell ya this stinks to high heaven. Talk about a shell game. Get caught in the act of espionage, get indicted, end up at trial, then subpoena administration officials from the most secretive government since Nixon, get off scott free because there is no chance in hell that this administration would ever do what is in the best interest of national security unless national security comprises of one thing, CYA”
