From the Paper:

"Considered by many "one of the most hawkish members of the Bush administration" , Paul Wolfowitz is seen as the main artisan of war against terror and is known for his advocacy of military action as the potential and most sustainable and efficient solution for any outside provocation. Working for 24 years under six different presidents, Paul Wolfowitz's career in Washington is circumscribed to his activity within the Department of Defense, as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, during George H. W. Bush's mandate at the White House, and as Deputy Secretary of Defense, but also to his diplomatic activity. Indeed, Paul Wolfowitz has worked in the Department of State as Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs and has served as the US ambassador in Indonesia for three years."
