Paul Wolfowitz, Reagan’s Man in
Indonesia, Is Back at the Pentagon

By Tim Shorrock
http://fpif.org/commentary/0102wolfowitz.html

In his new position of deputy Secretary of State, Paul Wolfowitz
will have day-to-day control over the Pentagon and a perch to play
out his hard-line views on theater missile defense (TMD), which he
supports; North Korea, which he views as the rogue nation TMD
was designed for; Iraq, where he wants the United States to arm the
opposition; and China, which, according his comments to the
New York Times last year, he sees as “the major strategic competitor
and potential threat to the United States.” Wolfowitz will also play
a key role in forming and shaping new military alliances—a job he
took to with relish in the waning years of the cold war.
