TranscriptHere's the transcript of Wolfowitz's Vanity Fair interview. Read the whole thing. He's very reasoned and candid. No, we didn't go to war just to get our troops out of the Saudis' backyard, not quite. But focusing on those weapons of mass destruction was a "bureaucratic" choice, a way to get everyone on board. Machiavellian politics-as-usual. I picture Wolfowitz et al. sitting around a table, scratching their heads over what to do about a smiling, deadly problem like Saudi Arabia. "Well, you know, invading Iraq would be an easier sell..." And they were right. But is it good statesmanship?
