Wolfowitz Under Fire

Rockets were fired at the al-Rashid hotel early this morning. This hotel houses many Americans, civilian and military, who are running the country. Wolfowitz had a few comments after the attack, including this from the NYT.

At a hastily arranged, mid-morning news briefing, Mr. Wolfowitz hailed the American civilians and military personnel working in Baghdad as heroes struggling to halt those he described as ``criminals who are trying to destabilize this country'' and who ``have abused and tortured Iraq for 35 years.''

Wolfowitz is right about the abuse heaped upon the Iraqi populace during the rule of the Ba'ath Party. But rooting out the Ba'ath is simply treating the symptoms. We need to root out the world leaders who supported and enabled the Ba'athists, especially during the critical period of the 80's.

So when are Reagan, Bush 1, Rumsfeld, et al going to be shipped off to Gitmo for their active support of Saddam's WMD programs?
