Wolfowitz Up to More Mischief?

Just 15 months after being forced to resign as president of the World Bank over a conflict of interest regarding his professional and personal relationships with his girlfriend, former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz may be involved in another, far more geo-strategic conflict of interest involving his dual roles as chairman of the State Department's International Security Advisory Board (ISAB) and chairman of the U.S.-Taiwan Business Council, among whose U.S. members are military contractors who have been dying to get the Bush administration's approval to sell about 11 billion dollars worth of arms to the island to protect it against the threat of an attack by the mainland.
...Wolfowitz's ISAB may be trying to gin up tensions with China, acting as a new "Team B" in persuading policymakers and the public at large that Beijing's military modernization, especially its missile program, is more threatening to the U.S. than, in Gertz's words, "many current government and private-sector analyses" have depicted it.
...the report, the product of a task force headed by Joseph, recommends that the U.S. "should undertake the development of new weapons, sensors, communications, and other programs and tactics to convince China that it will not be able to overcome the U.S. militarily" and specifically that it obtain, in Gertz's words, "new offensive space and cyber warfare capabilities and missile defenses as well as ‘more robust sea- and space-based capabilities' to deter any crisis over Taiwan."

He's back and ready to fill his pals' wallets again.
