Do you have some proof that it was "bogus" or are you the one who's being dishonest, implying that you know something you don't?

They've also been forced to retract and "clarify" both the Wolfowitz story AND one of the lead stories in the recent trumped-up WMD controversy: The items were lousy propaganda - easily and simply disposed of, though some harm has already been done, as no doubt the ideas will circulate...

Since these lies are being posted on two separate threads, I'll post the response on both threads as well - ahem: Typical distortions from the GUARDIAN - rather similar to the same twisting of Wolfowitz's words done with his WMD statements, but even more blatantly dishonest. Typical...

Typical distortions from the GUARDIAN - rather similar to the same twisting of Wolfowitz's words done with his WMD statements, but even more blatantly dishonest. Typical willingness from Trader556 to swallow it whole, unquestioningly. Here's how Daniel Drezner - one among many observers -...

Ever so slightly, you remind me of a staircase falling exotically into a sea of spilled macaroni.

My feelings were fairly well expressed by an article entitled "The war's feeble opponents clutch at a last straw," which I posted on another thread. The author reviews several aspects of the entire war debate and the controversy over WMDs, then finally accepts, for purposes of argument, the...

Word is he would take a pay cut. As for his long-term interest, how long that term is remains uncertain. In any event, the one thing that would complete Payton's career is a championship. Contending in LA might also restore some lustre to his image - give him a chance at juicier endorsements...

Latest buzz, reported in the LA Times, is that the Lakers may have soured on Pippen, but our strongly in the running to pick up Gary Payton. Going out on a limb, I'm willing to suggest that Payton and Bryant would be kind of an okay backcourt. The allternative plan still appears to be a...

Refusing to commit to a specific, unrealistic timetable is different from letting things play out indefinitely. The objective as regards WMD is to draw as clear and detailed a picture as possible - not only for political and accountability issues, but also because it is important to know...

I believe that you misquote Blix, and that the most he ever said on the behalf of the Iraqis was that they appeared to be offering improved compliance on procedural matters and on some substantive issues. He also claimed that, given more time and presuming further Iraqi cooperation, the...

Well, I'm stumped as to how, after months and months arguing about this issue, you still remain unable to absorb or acknowledge the mutiple strategic and moral arguments I have posted. It's hard for me to see much point in repeating them all again. [b] No. Institutions can be wrong and...

Yes, that's quite reasonable regarding the specifics of the WMD story. In the meantime, however, those of us who supported the war do not need to accept that some set of particular answers regarding the actual state of the Iraqi WMD program are critical or central to the larger issue. [b]...

Obviously, I don't agree with your opinion at all. So, no, I'm not bothered. As for the WMD issue, none of us knows the whole story. If you do not know the truth, then calling someone a liar, as Trader55 has done, is itself dishonest. Every such claim is itself, in a sense, a lie. In...

You appear to hold a simplistically mechanistic view on the role of public discourse in a democratic society. I believe that this subject is actually quite complex, and I don't believe it can be addressed very satisfactorily in a context such as this one. That said, I am certainly willing to...

Tradestation promises to start providing market depth as of the week after next, as part of their long-promised (and delayed) full upgrade of their futures data network. Some of us were just moaning about the delays implementing this upgrade over on another thread, but it does look like the...

Regarding Wolfowitz's statements, taken out of context in the article pasted above by Madison and elsewhere, here is the full text (from the end of a longish phone interview):
