Changes

"A book written in 1999 by '''David Wurmser''', now special assistant to John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control---the man responsible for labeling Syria, Libya, and Cuba as a secondary '[[axis of evil]]' earlier this year---appears to lay out the rationale for war on Iraq, as well as the pressing need to reassert US influence in the Middle East.

"In ''Tyranny's Ally: America's Failure to Defeat [[Saddam Hussein]]'', Wurmser---whose previous homes have included the AEI and the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, founded in part with money from the [[America Israel Public Affairs Committee]] (Aipac), which describes itself as 'America's pro-Israel lobby'---wrote: 'Recognizing that sanctions cannot be permanently imposed on Iraq and lacking a plan to overthrow Saddam's regime, many of our Middle Eastern allies and other, global powers have determined that Saddam will eventually prevail in this conflict. Consequently they have reversed their policy, seeking now to nurture ties with Baghdad.'
