Nice that this is out (I've had soooo many threats to life an' limb - and 'carrots' too - to the effect of 'Go join ISIL'; like I say, a drinking, smoking athiest... Seems like a good idea.. >wibble<).
I was surprised when Wolfowitz came-out with support of Turkey joining the EU - what's he to gain? This was around the time of an outbreak of birdflu in Turkey, where it was being officially denied, but then it turned-out some blokie had been slaughtering chickens an' giving his kids the heads and entrails to play with.... >doh< . I could only suppose the gig was not in the EU's best interests.
From Wikip-: Wolfowitz Doctrine-is an unofficial name given to the initial version of the Defense Planning Guidance for the 199499 fiscal years (dated February 18, 1992) authored by [size=12]Under Secretary of Defense for Policy[/SIZE] [size=12]Paul Wolfowitz[/SIZE] and his deputy [size=12]Scooter Libby[/SIZE]. Not intended for public release, it was leaked to the [size=12]New York Times[/SIZE] on March 7, 1992,[size=12][1][/SIZE] and sparked a public controversy about U.S. foreign and defense policy. The document was widely criticized as [size=12]imperialist[/SIZE] as the document outlined a policy of [size=12]unilateralism[/SIZE] and pre-emptive military action to suppress potential threats from other nations and prevent any other nation from rising to superpower status.
Such was the outcry that the document was hastily re-written under the close supervision of [size=12]U.S. Secretary of Defense[/SIZE] [size=12]Dick Cheney[/SIZE] and [size=12]Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff[/SIZE] [size=12]Colin Powell[/SIZE] before being officially released on April 16, 1992. Many of its tenets re-emerged in the [size=12]Bush Doctrine[/SIZE],[size=12][2][/SIZE] which was described by Senator [size=12]Edward M. Kennedy[/SIZE] as "a call for 21st century American imperialism that no other nation can or should accept."[size=12][3][/SIZE]
I used to get a load of "American exceptionalism" refs, (and refs to-, 'American exceptionalism', which might be slightly more klepto, than direct orchestrations), sometimes in Latin... Same with 'might is right'.
