Asked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction had been found, the deputy defence minister said: "Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil."

Al, apparently the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, or conservatives just can't help but open their big mouths and stick their feet into them.

Another example is Tom DeLay........as Bush is trying to smooth things out with China and others.....on Monday, DeLay blasted China, calling it "a backward, corrupt anachronism, run by decrepit tyrants, old apparatchicks clinging to a dying regime".

I never thought I would hear myself say this but some of these hot head conservatives scare me more than the Peoples Rep. of China. Do you think DeLay understood all those big words he was using? ;~))

Prior to his appointment to the Bush cabinet in February 2001, Mr Wolfowitz was dean and professor of international relations at the Paul H Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), of the Johns Hopkins University.

He was Dean of international studies........that's what qualified him to be Deputy Secretary of Defense?!! Well, next administration, I will apply for the job. <g>
