Wolfenheimer's Disease
Dr. Paul seems to be experiencing some cognitive decline. You've seen the signs. He's had delusions that Iraq was similar to France ... delusions about WMDs ... delusions about occupation troop strength required in "post-liberation" Iraq.
But now his memory is in decline. Dr. Paul doesn't remember how much he's always hated Saddam. Well, how much he's hated Saddam from the time that Saddam switched from attacking Iran to attacking Kuwait.

Paul Wolfowitz
Conference on Iraqi Reconstruction
Dr. Paul makes it clear, as always, that September 11th changed everything. He explains that, before 9/11, he was in favor of a protracted guerilla war, but after 9/11 he was in favor of a full scale invasion. I suppose that in Wolfowitz's calculus guerilla warfare doesn't count as "military intervention".
To dispel an uncertainty about his advocacy of military intervention "long before becoming Deputy Secretary", let's consider an additional excerpt from the letter to Clinton.
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.Dr. Paul, are you a liar or are you mentally defective?
