Wolfowitz was by far the most successful and popular American ambassador
to Indonesia, for many years.
The one time I spoke to him, I asked him what it wa like as a high-profile
Jew, in a country which is mostly Muslim (85%+) and does not even have
diplomatic relations with Israel.
He said that the only time he noticed it was when he gave a magazine
interview, which touched on most of his personal and professional history.
He mentioned to the interviewer that he was an American Jew -- and that
was the one thing that did not make it into the magazine.
I found him interesting and articulate. But he's apparently consumed with
ambition: why else would he play ball with those dopes in the White House?

>> Byron,
>>
>> Are you quoting or are you saying yourself that
>> Bush went into Iraq for Israel?
>>
>> This is a lie. I read the Israeli press (online) and I
>> know more or less what Israelis focus on, both
>> their left wing and their right wing. It was NOT
>> that the US should invade Iraq.
>>
>> Perle and Wolfowitz are not Israelis, they are
>> think tank scholars who dont understand
>> recent history. Perle by the way turns out to
>> be an out and out crook in league with some
>> Canadian billionaire. Wolfowitz was an
>> academic and then went into government.
>> Read The Rise of the Vulcans which is about
>> the whole Bush crew. Wolfowitz is NOT a
>> policy maker. The rest of the Bushies are
>> big money non Jewish capitalists. These
>> folks have not ever before acted at Israel's
>> "bidding". To believe they would for some
>> reason submit to Isael's bidding in any
>> literal sense of the phrase is to be practicing
>> non-rational mentation.
>>
>> Some say it was oil. I think it was pure hubris,
>> perhaps also with an eye towards keeping
>> the US in a permanent state of way thus
>> continuing to hold the presidency. Not Israel.
>> Israel had nothing to do with it. I'm sure the
>> "intelligence" bureaucracy in Israel are busy
>> sending in Israeli operatives to do some kinda
>> biz in Iraq, but that sort of stuff comes with the
>> neighborhood. All the other players (Iran, Egypt,
>> Saudia Arabia) have got agents in Iraq also.
>> If there is one thing the Arabs are good at it
>> is their Mukbaharat skills.

>> Please forward what I am saying here to your
