The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank devotes his Washington sketch column to a jargon-filled, tedious speech given yesterday by National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley. Hadley talked at the Proliferation Security Initiative, where he praised U.S. non-proliferation efforts and trashed international non-proliferation bodies like the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Milbank notes that Hadley was one of the original neocon “vulcans,” who gave false information to justify the Iraq War. Hadley even supplied the infamous “16 words” in President Bush’s 2003 State of the Union address that Iraq was seeking uranium from Niger to build a nuclear weapon. But while other vulcans like Paul Wolfowitz have unceremoniously moved on, Hadley quietly continues to fight the neocon battle. Read Milbank here. MB
