The Agonist: Wolfowitz oil quote
Agonist points to contradictions in Wolfowitz's recent official statements: "May 31: Look, the primarily difference -- to put it a little too simply -- between North Korea and Iraq is that we had virtually no economic options with Iraq because the country floats on a sea of oil... June 3: The notion that the war was ever about oil is a complete piece of nonsense...."

Wolfy needs to go back to Strauss school and re-learn the difference between 'esoteric' (secret, real reasons) and 'exoteric' (public deceptions) doctrine. Or he could just take a tip from Tony Blair and lie and lie and lie about WMDs until either kingdom come or everyone forgets about it.

update: The Guardian has posted a clarification explaining that Wolfowitz did not state or imply that oil was the reason for the attack on Iraq. Well, they say that he is the smartest of the neocon bunch but its still not enough to fool people.
