too late!

an admirable sentiment by Wolfowitz, but comes a little too late.

"I think all foreigners should stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq," said Wolfowitz, who is touring the country to meet U.S. troops and Iraqi officials.

"Those who want to come and help are welcome," he said. "Those who come to interfere and destroy are not."

whether foreign troops are "interfering" or "helping" largely depends on your point of view, doesn't it?

UPDATE: Atrios brilliantly refers to it as "the End of Irony." I wish I'd thought of that tagline first.
