It was easy to find some things, I think more are buried in my posts re wolfowitz saing that the US would be met with "rose petals" in Iraq. But here's more on a quick search!
Many references to just the roses.

Wolfowitz May Soon Leave
Time confirms Bob Novak's report that Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz has fallen out of favor with the White House: "It is widely believed in national-security circles that Wolfowitz may leave the Administration sometime in 2004. He has become too controversial for Bush to promote to Defense Secretary; Wolfowitz believed that U.S. troops in Iraq would be greeted with rose petals."

The Rummy and Wolfie show may soon go off the air. It is widely believed in national-security circles that Wolfowitz may leave the Administration sometime in 2004. He has become too controversial for Bush to promote to Defense Secretary; Wolfowitz believed that U.S. troops in Iraq would be greeted with rose petals.

But here's more on a quick search

I did a search before I asked you for a quote and came up with the same worthless crap you offer as evidence.

If you will remember, you said: Wolfowitz said and was quoted repeatly that we would be met with rose petals by Iraq.

There items you offered as ‘proof’ said:

Wolfowitz believed that U.S. troops in Iraq would be greeted with rose petals.
Wolfowitz believed that U.S. troops in Iraq would be greeted with rose petals.
Wolfowitz believed that U.S. troops in Iraq would be greeted with rose petals.

Amazingly similar, don’t you think? Now the operative phrase in each is:

Wolfowitz believed , not Wolfowitz SAID.

You shouldn’t say someone was was quoted repeatly unless you can actually back it up. Stating that someone else believes something is not a quote, neither is it an accurate indication to what that someone believes. So far, you haven’t answered my challenge nor given Publius and concrete examples.
