Wolfowitz Up to More Mischief?

Jim Lobe, here
"...Wolfowitz’s appointment, coming after his disgrace at the Bank — not to mention his performance as Rumsfeld’s deputy and Douglas Feith’s superior from 2001 to 2005 — was seen as a kind of token public redemption that would presumably have little consequence in actual policy terms....however ....
Noteworthy is, ..... the leaked Washington Times article, here outlining the need for new weapon systems, including missile defenses and other advanced military capabilities, to deter and counter China's steady buildup of nuclear and conventional arms ... it’s clear that someone associated with ISAB wanted to leak what — to China anyway — will be seen as a highly provocative document that will tend to confirm the worst fears of its military (which, according to the draft, already suffers from “clear paranoia”) about U.S. intentions, ...all lead to the conclusion that, former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz may be involved in another, far more geo-strategic conflict ..."
