David Wurmser: 'If we start shooting, we
must be prepared to fire the last shot'

America should seize every opportunity to force regime change in Syria and Iran, a former senior adviser to the White House has urged.

"We need to do everything possible to destabilise the Syrian regime and exploit every single moment they strategically overstep," said David Wurmser, who recently resigned after four years as Vice President Dick Cheney's Middle East adviser.

"That would include the willingness to escalate as far as we need to go to topple the regime if necessary." He said that an end to Baathist rule in Damascus could trigger a domino effect that would then bring down the Teheran regime.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, the first since he left government, he argued that the United States had to be prepared to attack both Syria and Iran to prevent the spread of Islamic fundamentalism and nuclear proliferation in the Middle East that could result in a much wider war.

Mr Wurmser, 46, a leading neo-conservative who has played a pivotal role in the Bush administration since the September 11th attacks, said that diplomacy would fail to stop Iran becoming a nuclear power. Overthrowing Teheran's theocratic regime should therefore be a top US priority.

Although Mr Wurmser's recommendations have not yet become US policy, his hard-line stances on regime change in Iran and Syria are understood to have formed the basis of policy documents approved by Mr Cheney, an uncompromising hawk who is deeply sceptical about the effectiveness of diplomatic pressure on Teheran.

8. Well, Dur!

They wanted to destroy Syria more than 2 years ago- Iran started making noises at us and the invasion of Lebanon by our allies failed, so we had to push it back.

In this administration, facts are based on their desires. Imagine if rapists could do that:

"Sir, why did you assault that woman?"

"She was overstepping her bounds! The crowd told me to do it!"

"You are asserting that you had the support of the witnesses presented previously?"

"Absolutely! I thought she had a bomb! It was my duty to rape her!"
