1998 Letter on Iraq
December 3, 2001

Following are excerpts from a 1998 letter to
President Bill Clinton from the Project for the
New American Century urging the removal of
President Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.
Among the signers were Donald H. Rumsfeld,
Paul D. Wolfowitz and R. James Woolsey.

. . . it means removing Saddam Hussein and his
regime from power. That now needs to become the
aim of American foreign policy.

We urge you to articulate this aim, and to turn your
administration's attention to implementing a strategy
for removing Saddam's regime from power. This
will require a full complement of diplomatic, political
and military efforts. Although we are fully aware of
the dangers and difficulties of implementing this policy, we believe the dangers of failing to do so are far
greater.
