Paul Wolfowitz was well known for many years going back to the late 1980's as a leading neo-con in Washington. Before being appointed to his current position as President of the World Bank he was US Deputy Defence Secretary.
Wolfie and his cohorts pushed the WMD in Iraq line loudly and clearly. That aside, they had a seemingly grander design for the Middle East. Democracy for all, etc etc.
Today comes news that Wolfie says that perhaps the US would not have gone to war had it known there were no WMDs. Read a report here from The Huntington Post.
It is interesting to reflect on whether Wolfie, George, Dick, Condie and their fellow-travellers will now "apologise" - for what that is worth! - to the families of those killed and maimed in Iraq and to the general American people for the extraordinary cost to the taxpayer of what is increasingly a debacle in Iraq.
