A Wolfowitz in sheep's clothing
Interesting Q&A with Paul Wolfowitz. Q.What are we doing to pursue Osama bin-Laden and al-Qaeda? Are you optimistic about apprehending bin-Laden?
A.I wouldn't make a prediction about someday apprehending him. It's possible. I don't say that it's my belief. It's so hard to know where he is and who he is. It's possible we've already killed him. I don't think that's the case. But the point is we're not talking about one man, we're talking about a whole network. And we continue to wrap up members of that network. We are pursuing that aggressively. The cooperation we get from some of the less savory governments we have to deal with is enhanced by seeing what happened to the Taliban, and if they see the same thing happen to Saddam Hussein. We're sending a message that it doesn't pay to harbor terrorists, it doesn't pay to threaten the United States with terrorism, it doesn't pay to have links to al-Qaeda.
Subtlety is not one of my strengths
