Paul Wolfowitz
History is just littered with problems that were solved that were supposed to be impossible.
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
Our security depends on having good relationships with our allies. Donald Trump mainly shows contempt for them.
Paul Wolfowitz
We did not go to war in Afghanistan or in Iraq to, quote, 'impose democracy.' We went to war in both places because we saw those regimes as a threat to the United States.
Paul Wolfowitz
People change their habits. I know Americans who don't go to Paris because they think it is too dangerous.
Paul Wolfowitz
Firing employees, that's unfortunately part of doing business.
Paul Wolfowitz
The absence of Saddam is a huge weight off the Arab world.
Paul Wolfowitz
I mean, we're going to probably debate the Iraq war for at least as long as I'm alive.
Paul Wolfowitz
For one thing I tend not to see myself in various moulds that people fit me into.
Paul Wolfowitz
Poles understand perhaps better than anyone the consequences of making toothless warnings to brutal tyrants and terrorist regimes.
Paul Wolfowitz
I told my father I had to try political science for a year. He thought I was throwing my life away.
Paul Wolfowitz
The most striking thing is that even before Osama bin Laden was killed, he seemed largely irrelevant to the Arab Spring.
Paul Wolfowitz
To stay back from an intervention is not always a good solution.
