1. No fire works. Too bad.
This guy chortled about oil dividents from the Iraq invasion. He said we shouldn't sell the oil to countries that didn't help us invade. Hmmm...

2. On Iraq... On edit: Iraq..."May I still blame you?"

Stewart is showing "quiet disdain"... Wolsey is very slick, however.

On edit: Why didn't the negative information on Iraq get out? Administration pressure?

3. Pretty ridiculous
He supposedly hates "Islamonazis" (WTF?), but he thinks destabalizing an Arab country and overtly enflaming the entire region against the US is just peachy. Too bad our actions, more than anything else, enable those very groups to further their goals.

That's just off the top of my head.

The guy is delusional, to say the least.

4. You are right on target.
When he was interviewed in the run up to Iraq, he flittered his eyes and got a shit eating grin on his face as he talked about blocking oil sales form Iraq to France, Germany, and Russia. It was one of the strangest things I ever saw in the teevee. He should have been "benched" right then. Now he's the VP of Booz, Allen, Hamilton. Wow. What a bunch of clowns they must be.
