March 25, 2003: Wolfowitz: World Will ‘See an Explosion of Joy and Relief’ in Iraq after US Overthrow of Iraqi Government

2003-03-25

Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz tells a BBC news correspondent “Until the regime is gone it’s going to be very hard to do anything. Even in cities that are liberated. I think when the people of Basra no longer feel the threat of that regime, you are going to see an explosion of joy and relief.” [BBC, 3/25/2003]
