Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz has admitted the Bush administration chose to focus on Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction as the primary justification to invade because it was politically convenient. The extraordinary admission comes in an interview Wolfowitz gave to the magazine Vanity Fair. It’s published in the July issue. Wolfowitz also says there was another justification that was “almost unnoticed but huge,” that the U.S. could withdraw its forces from Saudi Arabia once the threat of Saddam Hussein was removed. Wolfowitz told the magazine, “For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on.” This comes just days after Wolfowitz’s boss, Donald Rumsfeld, admitted for the first time that the arms may never be found.
