I hate to give away the introduction to my next article

I hate to give away the introduction to my next article, but that can’t wait. €“Former Deputy

Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz to Sam Tannenhaus Vanity Fair, May 9th, 2003:

“There are a lot of things that are different now [that the MBT shoes occupies MBT SPORT], and one

that has gone by almost unnoticed €“ but it’s huge €“ is that … we can now remove almost all of our

forces from Saudi Arabia. Their presence there over the last 12 years has been a source of enormous

difficulty for a friendly government. It’s been a huge recruiting device for al Qaeda.

“In fact if you look at bin Laden, one of his principle grievances was the presence of so-called

crusader forces on the holy land, Mecca and Medina. I think just lifting that burden from the Saudis is

itself going to open the door to other positive things.

“I don’t want to speak in messianic terms. It’s not going to change things overnight, but it’s a

huge improvement.”

Not content with attacking him for what he actually said or did, the War Party is now making up

stories.
