Wolfowitz says US must act even on "murky" data
By Anton Ferreira
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz on Sunday defended the
invasion of Iraq as an example of how the United States had to be
prepared to act on "murky intelligence" in its war on terrorism.
Wolfowitz was asked in several television interviews about widespread
criticism that Washington's rationale for the war -- charges that Iraq
had chemical and biological weapons and was collaborating with Osama
bin Laden's al Qaeda group -- appeared to have been built on shaky
foundations.
No such weapons have been found and little concrete evidence has been
presented of an al Qaeda link.
"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.

In other words, if Wolfy feels like goin' to war he don' no steenkin'
intelligence, he just starts his li'l ole war.
