Jerusalem----April 2.....The American Jewish Congress today congratulated Paul Wolfowitz on his election as the president of the World Bank.

In Israel, The Jerusalem Post had selected Paul Wolfowitz as its Man of the Year for 2002. The Post stated: "On September 15, 2001, at a meeting in Camp David, Wolfowitz advised President George W. Bush to skip Kabul and train American guns on Baghdad. In March 2003, he got his wish. In the process, Wolfowitz became the most influential US deputy defense secretary ever - can you so much as name anyone else who held the post?"

"When President Bush says, "America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons" -- that's Wolfowitz talking. When the president calls for "a new Arab charter that champions internal reform, greater political participation, economic openness and free trade" -- that's Wolfowitz's talking, too. But perhaps the greatest measure of Wolfowitz's influence is that Colin Powell now waxes rhapsodic about an Iraq "on the road to democratic self-government." This from the man who, after the first Gulf War, mocked: "Where's Iraq's Thomas Jefferson?" To our ears, the sudden stress on Mideast democratization is "transformative," to use the Pentagon jargon. Israel has long waited for an administration that understands that the principal problem in the Middle East is not the unsettled status of our borders. It is the unsettling nature of Arab regimes -- .."

It wasn't the New York Post

First, shooter's reply here is a bald-faced lie. And he knows that.

To get to the issue, the asker seems toi mply that support of America's only ally in the Middle east is illogical. But Israel has many friends among intelligent Americans, and there is nothing surprising about that.

As the article stated, Israel has long waited for an administration that understands that the principal problem in the Middle East is not the unsettled status of our borders. It is the unsettling nature of Arab regimes.

The first step to solving a problem is to understand it.

The Bush administration had to invade Iraq for various motives. Cheney, Rove, and Wolfowitz have been in the project for a sparkling American Century, which planned the invasion of Iraq in 1995. they had diverse motives, commencing from a private grudge, to utilising Iraq as a springboard for democracy in the ME; what you pronounced is a element yet no longer the main one. Bush Jr. in all risk nevertheless replaced into mad that Saddam tried to kill his daddy in Kuwait.

They are all native-born US citizens. However it is fair game to accuse them of having divided loyalties. Their real motive for pushing the Iraq War was not WMD or Al Qaeda, but to remake the Middle East to make it safer for Israel. How did that work out?

Were it only true or possible Instead, it is really the agenda of those who would like to have Dominion over the entire region for their Plundering Herd. These guys really believe it is our destiny to rule while the ruling is possible. Darkness spreads out before them!

They are all US citizens. Well, David Frum is Canadian with American citizenship.

Why are you asking? Are you trying to imply something?
