Wurmser has written extensively (books and articles) on the Middle East. His credits include: [[Wall Street Journal]], Wall Street Journal Europe, [[Washington Times]], the ''[[Weekly Standard]]'', [[New Republic]], [[SAIS Review]], [[Middle East Quarterly]], [[Perspectives on Political Science]], Strategic Review, Jobs & Capital, and [[The World and I]].
David Wurmser is married to Israeli born [[Meyrav Wurmser]], who co-authored a 1996 report by a task force convened by the IASPS and headed by Perle, called the 'Study Group on a New Israeli Strategy Toward 2000'.
"Washington has no choice now but to abandon the coup option and resurrect the INC. An insurgency may be able to defeat Saddam's weak and demoralized conventional army. But one thing is clear: there is no cost-free way to depose Saddam. He is more resolute, wily, and brutal than we. His strength lies in his weapons of terror; that is why he is so attached to them. The week-long interruption in U.N. inspections gave him ample time to prepare his biological capability for use. Organizing an insurgency to liberate Iraq under the INC may provoke Saddam to use his weapons on the way down. Better that, though, than current policy, which will lead him to use them on his way back up,"he concluded.[http://www.aei.org/news/newsID.8361/news_detail.asp]
The following year he co-signed a letter with Perle promoting an insurgency in Iraq and support for the [[Ahmad Chalabi]]-led [[Iraqi National Congress]] (INC).
