More quotes by Paul Wolfowitz
The absence of Saddam is a huge weight off the Arab world.
Paul Wolfowitz
History is just littered with problems that were solved that were supposed to be impossible.
Paul Wolfowitz
Every math curriculum in the world is based on the idea of hand-calculating, and most of what you're teaching is how to calculate. And I think the resistance to this is very variable.
Paul Wolfowitz
To stay back from an intervention is not always a good solution.
Paul Wolfowitz
Public action should seek to expand the set of opportunities of those who have the least voice and fewest resources and capabilities.
Paul Wolfowitz
I think Obama sees everything through one lens. Doing nothing in the face of the slaughter in Syria is not only shameful, it is unrealistic. This approach leaves Syria as a broken country and a breeding ground for extremists for decades.
Paul Wolfowitz
NATO is still the most remarkable alliance in history. It stuck together through 40 years of Cold War, and it then joined together to fight in Afghanistan. In the 1980s, I would not have thought this was going to be possible.
Paul Wolfowitz
Look, I think the notion that theres a dogma or doctrine of foreign policy that gives you a textbook recipe for how to react to all situations is really nonsense.
Paul Wolfowitz
The truth is that for reasons that have a lot to do with the U.S. government bureaucracy, we settled on the one issue that everyone could agree on, which was weapons of mass destruction, as the core reason.
Paul Wolfowitz
It's hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and secure the surrender of Saddam's security forces and his army. Hard to imagine.
Paul Wolfowitz
It's a very bad thing when people exterminate other people, and people persecute minorities.
Paul Wolfowitz
Firing employees, that's unfortunately part of doing business.
Paul Wolfowitz
Our security depends on having good relationships with our allies. Donald Trump mainly shows contempt for them.
Paul Wolfowitz
Poles understand perhaps better than anyone the consequences of making toothless warnings to brutal tyrants and terrorist regimes.
Paul Wolfowitz
I mean, we're going to probably debate the Iraq war for at least as long as I'm alive.
Paul Wolfowitz
China, in the future, is going to have even more nuclear capability than it has had in the past. I don't believe that they have anything to fear from the United States, and I frankly don't believe they do fear the United States.
Paul Wolfowitz
I wish there were somebody I could be comfortable voting for. I might have to vote for Hillary Clinton, even though I have big reservations about her.
Paul Wolfowitz
Saddam Hussein had nerve gas and used it against his own people, he had used chemical weapons against the Iranians and he almost had a nuclear bomb in 1981 and in 1991. And he had been caught with anthrax in 1995 by the UN inspections after denying that he had it.
Paul Wolfowitz
Sometimes corruption is slowed by shedding light into what was previously shadowed.
Paul Wolfowitz
I like globalization I want to say it works, but it is hard to say that when six hundred million people are slipping backwards.
