Perhaps the operational arm, not the intellectual side with the exception of wolfowitz

To quote Reagan "there you go again."

That's not accurate at all. Just a quick scan of significant personalities involved in the policy side of Dept of Defense show huge ideological bias *throughout* - not just Wolfowitz. I cite Wolfowitz because one name is easier than typing them all. These are the people setting policy for Defense. These are the people, among others, who pushed the country into Iraq in the first place. And that's why they have to go.

Wolfowitz has intellectual ties to all the people involved in the ultra hawkish beyond neoconservative "Project for the New American Century" think tank, which include people on the thinking and planning side of Dept. of Defence. The list includes, but is not limited to:

Cheney (Vice President). I won't bother going down his ties now, they are well known.

Rumsfeld (Sec Defense). Ditto.

Abrams (Nat Security Council) - lovely bio too: In 1991, Abrams was indicted by the Iran-Contra special prosecutor for giving false testimony before Congress in 1987 about his role in illicitly raising money for the Nicaraguan Contras. He pleaded guilty to two lesser offenses of withholding information to Congress in order to avoid a trial and a possible jail term.

Rodman (Assistant Secretary for International Security Affairs in the Department of Defense) - worked for Kissinger

Henry S. Rowen (member of the Department of Defense's Defense Policy Board)

and lets not forget Feith (currently serves as the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, the third ranking civilian position at the Pentagon.) Worked for Perle.

The list goes on and on and on...
