Thanks for playing "misquote the jew". Looks like you win again!

I understand that you may have been misled by the German papers cited in the article, but come now… It is absurd to think that a senior American official is going to say (even in effect or indirectly) something as stupid, wrong and inconsistent with stated policy as: "Yeah, Iraq really was a war for oil." This should have raised all kinds of red flags for fact checking. If you weren't culpable of intentionally misrepresenting Mr. Wolfowitz, then your only defense is laziness, incompetence and stupidity. Indeed it would clearly require all three factors working in consilient coordination to produce the laughable and slanted screed that proudly graced your internet frontispiece.

In case you haven't figured out that your article both misquoted Mr. Wolfowitz AND completely misrepresented the substance of his comments in context, please consult the following webpage for further information:
