Wolfie: US doesn't need to know anything to make war
The climbdown continues. Following Rumsfeld's admission that there was no new intelligence on alleged Iraqi WMD before the war, now Wolfie is saying that the US acted on "murky intelligence" - i.e., nothing at all:
Note also the continued cynical use of the WTC attacks as a justification for the Iraq, even after the fact and despite not one single scrap of evidence linking Iraq to the attacks ever having been presented. Keep pulling those heartstrings, Wolfie, and shitting all over the legacy of the 3,000 people who died that day.

"The nature of terrorism is that intelligence about terrorism is murky," Wolfowitz, one of the architects of the Iraq war, said on the "Fox News Sunday" program.So now the US, according to Wolfowitz, doesn't need to know anything before it attacks other countries. Whatever "murky" data comes along - say, forged documents, hearsay, and simple invention - is good enough.
"I think the lesson of 9/11 is that if you're not prepared to act on the basis of murky intelligence, then you're going to have to act after the fact, and after the fact now means after horrendous things have happened to this country," he added.
