Chris, You were right the first time but this time you have the true essence of Wolfowitz. He doesn't want anyone other than the 'coalition of the willing' screwing things up.

If George had done his 'Hooked on Phonics' , and if he had followed half of what was laid out in that paper, there would be half as many problems as there are now.
