Reminds me of how little kids cover their eyes and think no one can see them:
(KRT) - WASHINGTON - World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, a prime architect of the Iraq war during his service as Deputy Defense Secretary, said Tuesday that he hasn’t read any of the recently disclosed British government memos that call into question his role and that of other senior administration officials in the run-up to war during 2002.
At a breakfast meeting with reporters, Wolfowitz said he hasn’t read the memos because he doesn’t want to be distracted by history from his new job as head of the world’s leading development bank. He returned this weekend from a tour of four African nations.
“There’s a lot I could say about what you’re asking about, if I were willing to get distracted from the main subject,” Wolfowitz said. “But I really think there’s a price paid with the people I’ve just spent time with, people who are struggling with very real problems, to keep going back in history.
“There will be a time and place to talk about history,” he added, “but I really don’t believe it’s now.”
“There will be a time and place to talk about history,� he added, “but I really don’t believe it’s now.�
Besides, that’s what trials are for.
The Mark McGwire defense. I’m here to talk about the future, not about the past.
