He is, in fact, one of the architects of this war, as we know. He is the Deputy Secretary of Defense. And I was appalled a few weeks ago when he was asked how many American soldiers we had lost in Iraq, and this man who pursued this war and who is the Deputy Secretary of Defense did not know. He implied that there may be about 500 who had been killed. At that time there had been 721. Every morning when Mr. Wolfowitz wakes up, he ought to be thinking about the soldiers who have been lost over there.
