Well we can put a fork in Ron Paul.

Hume hit the nail on the head with his "marching orders from Al Qaeda" remark. The fact that Ron Paul is even invited to take the stage at these debates makes the whole debate nothing but a farce.

Agree. If Ron Paul is in the next debate I won’t even waste time watching it.

Does Wolfowitz blame America too?

"For bureaucratic reasons we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on." Everyone meaning, presumably, Powell and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Almost unnoticed but huge," he said, is another reason: removing Saddam will allow the U.S. to take its troops out of Saudi Arabia, where their presence has been one of al-Qaeda's biggest grievances. "Just lifting that burden from the Saudis is itself going to open the door" to a more peaceful Middle East, Wolfowitz said.
