...American response to the arrogance of three uninvolved states’ meddling was delightful: “The U.N. can’t be in charge.” Though that kind of attitude, which came from the mouth of the none-too-tactful Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, isn’t rosy, it reflects the reality of military intervention...
...Defense Policy Board and former director of the CIA, claimed the U.S. was now engaged in "World War IV" against not only Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq but also the mullahs of Iran and Syria's "fascists." On NBC's Meet the Press, Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz mildly dissociated himself from Woolsey's views while allowing "there's got to be change in Syria."

After Sept. 11, Cheney began running a self-education seminar on Islam and the Middle East, meeting with experts, a Cheney aide says, "to discuss...
...good," said Bush. "I've learned one thing; I'd jump on him." But despite the aggressive language, there was no sign that he had accepted the logic of a pre-emptive strike against Saddam. After Sept. 11, he initially resisted making Iraq an early target of American might. Wolfowitz, says a Republican lawmaker, "was like a parrot bringing [Iraq] up all the time. It was getting on the President's nerves." At one point in the Camp David meeting after Sept. 11, Wolfowitz tried to persuade Bush to back a scheme to lop off the southern part of Iraq...
