→Paul Wolfowitz: From the Vanity Fair transcript
:What a joke! Click on this one [http://www.defenselink.mil/transcripts/transcript.aspx?transcriptid=2676] Who made the above quote on May 28, 2003, Paul Wolfowitz or his interviewer, DeYoung? And you present ''this'' as an example of deceit? A little '''''disengenous''''', don't you think, the wrong link, the wrong cite, not even the right person speaking, and calling this as an example of '''''deceit''''' ?

:: [http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/WO0305/S00308.htm The Vanity Fair interview transcript] shows quite clearly:
<blockquote>
Q: Was that one of the arguments that was raised early on by you and others that Iraq actually does connect, not to connect the dots too much, but the relationship between Saudi Arabia, our troops being there, and bin Laden's rage about that, which he's built on so many years, also connects the World Trade Center attacks, that there's a logic of motive or something like that? Or does that read too much into --<br />
Wolfowitz: No, I think it happens to be correct. '''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''', but -- Hold on one second.<br />
(Pause)<br />
Kellems: Sam there may be some value in clarity on the point that it may take years to get post-Saddam Iraq right. It can be easily misconstrued, especially when it comes to --<br />
Wolfowitz: There have always been three fundamental concerns. One is weapons of mass destruction, the second is support for terrorism, the third is the criminal treatment of the Iraqi people. Actually I guess you could say there's a fourth overriding one which is the connection between the first two. Sorry, hold on again.<br />
</blockquote>
:: My apologies for using the military transcript asking about the quote instead in which Wolfowitz goes more into what he meant than the Vanity Fair Transcript where it appears he was cut off. --[[User:Mtur|Mtur]] 23:12, 24 April 2007 (EDT)
