CNN’s Late Edition celebrated its 10th anniversary today by re-airing some of Wolf Blitzer’s key interviews with Bush administration officials about the Iraq war. Some highlights:

GOV. BUSH: If at any time I found that the Iraqis were developing weapons of mass destruction, they wouldn’t exist anymore. (Jan. 2000)

RICE: There will always be some uncertainty about how quickly can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud. (Sept. 2002)

RUMSFELD: There is no question but that there are fabricators that operate in the intelligence world, and there’s also no question you can find intelligence reports on every side of every issue. (Nov. 2005)

CHENEY: You can go back and argue the whole thing all over again, Wolf, but what we did in Iraq in taking down Saddam Hussein was exactly the right thing to do. (Jan. 2007)

1. I told my RW inlaw tonight that the real reason for the civil war was

that the north thought the south had wmdz. A pregnant pause followed thereafter. Made him think a bit.

4. Yep, don't let this weasel Blitzer squirm his way out of what he did...

I totally agree, it's partly WolfieBoy's fault (and the fault of CNN) that America went into Iraq in the first place. God he's ball-sy!

6. Not buying any of this propaganda shit. This is a cover your but attempt by WB.

Wolf was one of the best water carriers for the idiot in chief, even before he cheated his way into the oval office and was the loudest drum beater for the war and boooosh policy. WB hails from AIPEC.
