WWI: Wall Street Zionists were behind the overthrow of Czar Nicholas, financing Lenin and the reign of terror that murdered millions of Orthodox Christians in the name of "Russian Communism". The newly created, privately owned, Zionist-dominated “FED” (Federal Reserve banking system) made this possible with huge war profits for the Zionist banksters and their sycophant war profiteers every since.
WWII: Wall Street Zionists and FED insiders financed both sides of WWII, financing Hitler and the murder of millions of Orthodox Jews in the name of "German Nationalism". Prescott Bush did the banking for much of Hitler's military-industrial complex with John D. Rockefeller merging his oil/drug/chemical cartel with Hitler's top officers from the German I.G. Farben oil/drug/chemical cartel, right before the war... for the purpose of Nazi enforcement of an oil/drug/chemical “monopoly” (corporate/government fascism) across Europe. The Zionist flag was the only other flag allowed to fly beneath Hitler's Nazi Swastika.
WWIII: Wall Street Zionists -- now firmly entrenched in the mainstream media plus with Zionist neocons in the White House and Pentagon -- began their Mid-East terror war with Gulf War I (Bush Sr.) and Gulf War II with Bush Jr (9-11 style), utilizing Israeli Mossad and neocon cells in the CIA and Pentagon. Zionist media inflamed Muslim hatreds, utilizing Judeo-Christian "faith" in "Greater Israel" to wag war by deception in the name of "God", "democracy", "freedom" or whatever the duped "true believers" will accept to rationalize and justify the godless-as-hell agenda of the Zionists.
WWIV: Wall Street "ZioNazi" collaboration of the REAL evil axis -- Zionist supremacists and Nazi war profiteers in big media, big government and big business -- are exposed for all the world to see as they unleash collective suffering, death or homelessness for millions of people in in Iraq -- and now -- millions of people Gaza and Lebanon suffer the same collective punishment “in response" (as though justified) for the capture of two Israeli soldiers. Secret plans to attack Iran -- and draw in Russia and China for a global war – have been revealed. Global COMMON SENSE of 99.9999% of humanity agrees that a LOVE-centric solution is needed to check and balance the ZioNazi extremism.

Whose War?
by Patrick J. Buchanan
[Note: This is important history behind “WWIII” from Pat’s article in The American Conservative in March of 2003 – CR]
The War Party may have gotten its war. But it has also gotten something it did
not bargain for. Its membership lists and associations have been exposed and its
motives challenged. In a rare moment in U.S. journalism, Tim Russert put this
question directly to Richard Perle: "Can you assure American viewers ...
that we're in this situation against Saddam Hussein and his removal for American
security interests? And what would be the link in terms of Israel?"
Suddenly, the Israeli connection is on the table, and the War Party is not
amused. Finding themselves in an unanticipated firefight, our neoconservative
friends are doing what comes naturally, seeking student deferments from
political combat by claiming the status of a persecuted minority group.
People who claim to be writing the
foreign policy of the world superpower,
one would think, would be a little more manly in the schoolyard of politics.
Not so.
Former Wall Street Journal editor Max Boot kicked off the campaign. When these
"Buchananites toss around `neoconservative' -- and cite names like
Wolfowitz and Cohen -- it sometimes sounds as if what they really mean is
`Jewish conservative.'"
Yet Boot readily concedes that a passionate attachment to Israel is a "key tenet of neoconservatism."
He also
claims that the National Security Strategy of President Bush "sounds as if
it could have come straight out from the pages of Commentary magazine, the
neocon bible." (For the uninitiated, Commentary, the bible in which Boot
seeks divine guidance, is the monthly of the
American Jewish Committee.)
David Brooks of the Weekly Standard wails that attacks based on the Israel tie
have put him through personal hell: "Now I get a steady stream of
anti-Semitic screeds in my e-mail, my voicemail and in my mailbox. ...
Anti-Semitism is alive and thriving.
It's just that its
epicenter is no longer on the Buchananite Right, but on the peace-movement
left."
[I would add that COMMON SENSE on this issue is the middle ground. –CR]
Washington Post columnist Robert Kagan endures his own purgatory abroad:
"In London ... one finds Britain's finest minds propounding, in sophisticated
language and melodious Oxbridge accents, the conspiracy theories of Pat Buchanan
concerning the `neoconservative'
(read: Jewish)
hijacking of American foreign policy."
Lawrence Kaplan of the New Republic charges that our little magazine "has
been transformed into a forum for those who contend that President Bush has
become a client of ... Ariel Sharon and the `neoconservative war party.'"
Referencing Charles Lindbergh, he accuses Paul Schroeder, Chris Matthews, Robert
Novak, Georgie Anne Geyer, Jason Vest of the Nation, and Gary Hart of implying
that "members of the Bush team have been doing Israel's bidding and, by
extension, exhibiting `dual loyalties.'"
Kaplan
thunders: “The real problem with such claims is not just that they are
untrue. The problem is that they are toxic. Invoking the specter of dual loyalty
to mute criticism and debate amounts to more than the everyday pollution of
public discourse. It is the nullification of public discourse, for how can one
refute accusations grounded in ethnicity? The charges are, ipso facto,
impossible to disprove. And so they are meant to be.”
What is going on here? Slate's Mickey Kaus nails it in the headline of his
retort: "Lawrence Kaplan Plays the Anti-Semitic Card."
What Kaplan, Brooks, Boot, and Kagan are doing is what the Rev. Jesse Jackson
does when caught with some mammoth contribution from a Fortune 500 company he
has lately accused of discriminating.
He plays the race card.
So, too, the neoconservatives are
trying to fend off critics by assassinating
their character and impugning their motives.
Indeed, it is the charge of "anti-Semitism" itself that is toxic. For
this venerable slander is designed to nullify public discourse by smearing and
intimidating foes and censoring and blacklisting them and any who would publish
them.
Neocons say
we attack them because they are Jewish. We do not. We attack them because
their warmongering threatens
our country, even as it
finds a reliable echo in Ariel Sharon.
And this time the boys have cried "wolf" once too often. It is not working.
As Kaus notes, Kaplan's own New Republic carries Harvard professor Stanley
Hoffman.
In writing of the four power centers in this capital that are clamoring for war, Hoffman himself describes the fourth thus:
"And, finally, there is a loose collection of friends of Israel, who
believe in the identity of interests between the Jewish state and the United
States.
These analysts look on foreign policy through the lens of one dominant concern:
Is it good or bad for Israel?
Since that nation's founding in
1948, these thinkers have never been in very good odor at the State Department,
but now they are well
ensconced in the Pentagon, around such strategists as Paul Wolfowitz, Richard
Perle and Douglas Feith."
"If Stanley Hoffman can say this," asks Kaus, "why can't
Chris Matthews?" Kaus also notes that Kaplan somehow failed to mention
the most devastating piece tying the neoconservatives to Sharon and his Likud
Party.
In a Feb. 9 front-page article in the Washington Post, Robert Kaiser quotes a
senior U.S. official as saying, "The Likudniks are really in charge now."
Kaiser names Perle, Wolfowitz, and Feith as members of a pro-Israel network
inside the administration and adds David Wurmser of the Defense Department and
Elliott Abrams of the National Security Council. (Abrams is the son-in-law of
Norman Podhoretz, editor emeritus of Commentary, whose magazine has for decades
branded critics of Israel as anti-Semites.)
Noting that Sharon repeatedly claims a "special closeness" to the
Bushites, Kaiser writes, "For the first time a U.S. administration and a
Likud government are pursuing nearly identical policies." And a valid
question is: how did this come to be, and while it is surely in Sharon's
interest, is it in America's interest?
This is a time for truth. For America is about to make a momentous decision: whether to launch a series of wars in the Middle East that could ignite the Clash of Civilizations against which Harvard professor Samuel Huntington has warned, a war we believe would be a tragedy and a disaster for this Republic.
To avert this
war, to answer the neocon smears, we ask that our readers review their agenda as
stated in their words.
Sunlight is the best
disinfectant.
As Al Smith used to say,
"Nothing un-American can live in
the sunlight."
We charge that a cabal of polemicists and public officials seek to ensnare
our country in a series of wars that are not in America's interests.
Not in our
lifetimes has America been so isolated from old friends.
Far worse, President Bush is being lured into a trap baited for him by these
neocons that could cost him his office and cause America to forfeit years of
peace won for us by the sacrifices of two generations in the Cold War.
They charge
us with anti-Semitism-i.e., a hatred of Jews for their faith, heritage, or
ancestry. False. The truth is, those hurling these charges harbor a "passionate
attachment" to a nation not our own that causes them to subordinate the
interests of America and to act on an assumption that, somehow, what's good for
Israel is good for America.
The Neoconservatives
Who are the neoconservatives? The first generation were ex-liberals,
socialists, and Trotskyites, boat-people from the McGovern revolution who rafted
over to the GOP at the end of conservatism's long march to power with Ronald
Reagan in 1980.
A neoconservative, wrote Kevin Phillips back then, is more likely to be a
magazine editor than a bricklayer. Today, he or she is more likely to be a
resident scholar at a public policy institute such as the American Enterprise
Institute (AEI) or one of its clones like the Center for Security Policy or the
Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). As one wag writes, a
neocon is more familiar with the inside of a think tank than an Abrams tank.
Almost none came out of the business world or military, and few if any came out
of the Goldwater campaign. The heroes they invoke are Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Harry
Truman, and Democratic Senators Henry "Scoop" Jackson (Wash.) and Pat Moynihan
(N.Y.).
All are interventionists who regard Stakhanovite support of Israel as a
defining characteristic of their breed. Among their luminaries are Jeane
Kirkpatrick, Bill Bennett, Michael Novak, and James Q. Wilson.
Their publications include the Weekly Standard, Commentary, the New Republic,
National Review, and the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. Though
few in number,
they wield disproportionate power
through control of the conservative foundations and magazines, through their
syndicated columns, and by attaching themselves to men of power.
Beating the War Drums
When the Cold War ended, these neoconservatives began casting about for a new
crusade to give meaning to their lives. On Sept. 11, their time came.
They seized on that
horrific atrocity to steer America's rage into all-out war to destroy their
despised enemies, the Arab and Islamic "rogue states" that have resisted U.S.
hegemony and loathe Israel.
The War Party's plan, however, had been in preparation far in advance of
9/11. And when President Bush, after defeating the Taliban, was looking for
a new front in the war on terror, they put their precooked meal in front of him.
Bush dug into it.
Before introducing the
script-writers of America's future wars,
consider the rapid and synchronized reaction of the neocons
to what happened after that fateful day.
On Sept. 12, Americans were still in shock when Bill Bennett told CNN that we
were in "a struggle between good and evil," that the Congress must
declare war on "militant Islam," and that "overwhelming
force" must be used.
Bennett cited Lebanon, Libya,
Syria, Iraq, Iran, and China as targets for attack.
Not, however, Afghanistan, the sanctuary of Osama's terrorists.
How did
Bennett know which nations must be smashed before he had any idea who attacked
us?
The Wall Street Journal immediately offered up a specific target list, calling
for U.S. air strikes on "terrorist camps in Syria, Sudan, Libya, and
Algeria, and perhaps even in parts of Egypt."
Yet, not one of Bennett's six
countries, nor one of these five,
had anything to do with 9/11.
On Sept. 15,
according to Bob Woodward's Bush at War, "Paul Wolfowitz put forth
military arguments to justify a U.S. attack on Iraq rather than Afghanistan."
Why Iraq? Because, Wolfowitz argued in the War Cabinet, while "attacking
Afghanistan would be uncertain . Iraq was a brittle oppressive regime that might
break easily. It was doable."
On Sept. 20, forty
neoconservatives sent
an open letter to the White House instructing President Bush on how the war on
terror must be conducted. Signed by Bennett, Podhoretz, Kirkpatrick, Perle,
Kristol, and Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, the letter was an
ultimatum. To retain the signers' support, the president was told, he must
target Hezbollah for destruction, retaliate against Syria and Iran if they
refuse to sever ties to Hezbollah, and overthrow Saddam. Any failure to attack
Iraq, the signers warned Bush,
"will constitute an early and
perhaps decisive surrender in the war on international terrorism."
Here was a cabal of intellectuals telling the Commander-in-Chief, nine days
after an attack on America, that if he did not follow their war plans, he would
be charged with surrendering to terror.
Yet,
Hezbollah had nothing to do with 9/11. What had Hezbollah done? Hezbollah had
humiliated Israel by driving its army out of Lebanon.
[And there, dear reader, we see the REAL vengeful intent of anti-love tyranny
behind the over-kill devastation of Lebanon now. –CR]
President
Bush had been warned. He was to exploit the attack of 9/11 to launch a series
of wars on Arab regimes, none of which had attacked us. All, however, were
enemies of Israel. "Bibi" Netanyahu, the former Prime Minister of Israel, like
some latter-day Citizen Genet, was ubiquitous on American television, calling
for us to crush the "Empire of Terror." The "Empire," it
turns out, consisted of Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Iraq, and "the Palestinian
enclave."
[witness the current “collective punishment” in Gaza]
Nasty as some of these regimes and groups might be [for
their own self-preservation],
what had they done to the United States?
The War Party seemed desperate to get a Middle East war going before America
had second thoughts. Tom Donnelly of the Project for the New American
Century (PNAC) called for an immediate invasion of Iraq. "Nor need the
attack await the deployment of half a million troops. . [T]he larger challenge
will be occupying Iraq after the fighting is over," he wrote.
Donnelly was echoed by Jonah Goldberg of National Review: "The United
States needs to go to war with Iraq because it needs to go to war with someone
in the region and Iraq makes the most sense."
Goldberg endorsed "the Ledeen Doctrine" of ex-Pentagon official Michael
Ledeen, which Goldberg described thus: "Every ten years or so, the United
States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against
the wall, just to show we mean business." (When the French ambassador in
London, at a dinner party, asked why we should risk World War III over some
"shitty little country" - meaning Israel - Goldberg's magazine was not amused.)
Ledeen, however, is less frivolous. In The War Against the Terror Masters,
he identifies the exact regimes America must destroy:
“First and foremost, we must bring
down the terror regimes, beginning with the Big Three: Iran, Iraq, and Syria.
And then we have to come to grips with Saudi Arabia. . Once the tyrants in Iran,
Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia have been brought down, we will remain engaged.
.We have to ensure the fulfillment of the democratic revolution.
”Stability is an unworthy American mission, and a misleading concept to boot. We
do not want stability in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Saudi Arabia; we
want things to change. The real issue is not whether, but how to destabilize.
Rejecting stability as
"an unworthy American mission," Ledeen goes on to define America's
authentic "historic mission":
“Creative destruction is our middle name, both within our society and abroad. We tear down the old order every day, from business to science, literature, art, architecture, and cinema to politics and the law. Our enemies have always hated this whirlwind of energy and creativity which menaces their traditions (whatever they may be) and shames them for their inability to keep pace. . [W]e must destroy them to advance our historic mission.”
Passages like this owe more to
Leon Trotsky
than to Robert Taft and betray a Jacobin streak in neoconservatism that
cannot be reconciled with any concept of true conservatism.
To the Weekly Standard, Ledeen's enemies list was too restrictive. We must not
only declare war on terror networks and states that harbor terrorists, said the
Standard, we should launch wars on
"any group or government
inclined to support or sustain others like them in the future."
Robert Kagan and William Kristol were giddy with excitement at the prospect
of Armageddon. The coming war "is
going to spread and engulf a number of countries. . It is going to resemble the
clash of civilizations that everyone has hoped to avoid. . [I]t is possible that
the demise of some `moderate' Arab regimes may be just round the corner."
[REALIZE that people worldwide have read this exposure of insane neocons behind the current war insanity, and it has reached a critical mass of good people who are fed up. –CR]
Norman Podhoretz in Commentary even outdid Kristol's Standard, rhapsodizing
that we should embrace a war of civilizations, as it is George W. Bush's
mission "to fight
World War IV-the war against militant Islam."
By his count, the regimes that richly deserve to be overthrown are not confined
to the three singled-out members of the axis of evil (Iraq, Iran, North Korea).
At a minimum, the axis should extend to Syria and Lebanon and Libya, as well as
`"friends" of America like the Saudi royal family and Egypt's Hosni Mubarak,
along with the Palestinian Authority. Bush must reject the "timorous
counsels" of the "incorrigibly cautious Colin Powell,"
wrote Podhoretz, and
"find the stomach to impose a
new political culture on the defeated"
Islamic world. As the war against al-Qaeda required that we destroy the Taliban,
Podhoretz wrote,
”We may willy-nilly find ourselves forced to topple five or six or seven
more tyrannies in the Islamic world (including that other sponsor of terrorism,
Yasir Arafat's Palestinian Authority). I can even [imagine] the turmoil of this
war leading to some new species of
an imperial mission for America,
whose purpose would be to oversee the emergence of successor governments in the
region more amenable to reform and modernization than the despotisms now in
place. I can also envisage the establishment of some kind of
American protectorate over the
oil fields of Saudi Arabia,
as we more and more come to wonder why 7,000 princes should go on being
permitted to exert so much leverage over us and everyone else.”
Podhoretz
credits Eliot Cohen with the phrase
"World War IV."
Bush was shortly thereafter seen carrying about a gift copy of Cohen's book that
celebrates civilian mastery of the military in times of war, as exhibited by
such leaders as Winston Churchill and David Ben Gurion.
A list of the Middle East regimes that Podhoretz, Bennett, Ledeen, Netanyahu,
and the Wall Street Journal regard as targets for destruction thus includes
Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran,
Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, and "militant Islam."
Cui Bono? For whose benefit these endless wars in a region that holds
nothing vital to America save oil, which the Arabs must sell us to survive?
Who would benefit from
a war of civilizations between the West and Islam?
Answer: one nation, one leader, one party. Israel, Sharon, Likud.
Indeed, Sharon has been everywhere the echo of his acolytes in America. In
February 2003, Sharon told a delegation of Congressmen that, after Saddam's
regime is destroyed, it is of
"vital importance"
that the United States disarm Iran, Syria, and Libya.
"We have a great interest in shaping the Middle East the day after"
the war on Iraq, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told the Conference of Major
American Jewish Organizations. After U.S. troops enter Baghdad, the United
States must generate "political, economic, diplomatic pressure" on
Tehran, Mofaz admonished the American Jews.
Are the neoconservatives concerned
about a war on Iraq
bringing down friendly Arab governments? Not at all.
They would welcome it.
"Mubarak is no great shakes,"
says Richard Perle of the President of Egypt. "Surely we can do better
than Mubarak." Asked about the possibility that a war on Iraq -- which
he predicted would be a "cakewalk" -- might upend governments in Egypt and Saudi
Arabia, former UN ambassador Ken Adelman told Joshua Micah Marshall of
Washington Monthly,
"All the better if you ask me."
[This violation of the sovereign rights of foreign countries is a blatant attack on the sovereign rights championed by the Constitution. It is destroying the core principles on which genuine freedom is founded. And U.S. Founders, Washington and Madison, were very clear in stating that foreign intervention and war were the greatest threat to the Republic. –CR]
On July 10, 2002, Perle invited a former aide to Lyndon LaRouche named Laurent
Murawiec to address the Defense Policy Board. In a briefing that startled Henry
Kissinger, Murawiec named Saudi Arabia as "the kernel of evil, the prime
mover, the most dangerous opponent" of the United States.
Washington should give Riyadh an ultimatum, he said. Either you Saudis
"prosecute or isolate those involved in the terror chain, including the Saudi
intelligence services," and end all propaganda against Israel, or we invade
your country, seize your oil fields, and occupy Mecca.
In closing his PowerPoint presentation, Murawiec offered a "Grand Strategy
for the Middle East." "Iraq is the tactical pivot, Saudi Arabia the strategic
pivot, Egypt the prize." Leaked reports of Murawiec's briefing did not
indicate if anyone raised the question of how the Islamic world might respond to
U.S. troops tramping around the grounds of the Great Mosque.
What these neoconservatives seek
is to conscript American blood
to make the world safe for Israel.
They want
the peace of the sword imposed on Islam and American soldiers to die if
necessary to impose it.
Washington Times editor at large Arnaud de Borchgrave calls this
the "Bush-Sharon Doctrine."
"Washington's `Likudniks,'" he writes,
"have been in charge of U.S.
policy in the Middle East since Bush was sworn into office."
"Every time we do something
you tell me America will do this
and will do that…. I want to tell you something very clear:
Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel.
We, the Jewish people,
control America, and the Americans know it."
~ Israeli Prime
Minister, Ariel Sharon
[speaking to Shimon Peres, October 3, 2001, quoted from the Independent Palestinian
Information Network and the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs]
The neocons seek
American empire, and Sharonites seek hegemony over the Middle East.
The two agendas coincide precisely.
[Read about the
ZioNazi Agenda] And
though neocons insist that it was Sept. 11 that made the case for war on Iraq
and militant Islam, the origins of their war plans go back far before.
"Securing the Realm"
The principal draftsman is Richard Perle, an aide to Sen. Scoop Jackson,
who, in 1970, was overheard on a federal wiretap discussing classified
information from the National Security Council with the Israeli Embassy.
In Jews and American Politics, published in 1974, Stephen D. Isaacs wrote,
"Richard Perle and Morris Amitay command a tiny army of Semitophiles on
Capitol Hill and direct Jewish power in behalf of Jewish interests." In
1983, the New York Times reported that
Perle had taken substantial
payments from an Israeli weapons manufacturer.
In 1996, with Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, Perle wrote "A Clean
Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,"
for Prime Minister Netanyahu.
In it, Perle, Feith, and Wurmser urged Bibi to ditch the Oslo Accords of the
assassinated Yitzak Rabin
and adopt a new aggressive
strategy:
”Israel can shape its
strategic environment, in cooperation with Turkey and Jordan, by weakening,
containing, and even rolling back Syria. This effort can focus on removing
Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq-an important Israeli strategic objective in
its own right-as a means of foiling Syria's regional ambitions. Jordan has
challenged Syria's regional ambitions recently by suggesting the restoration of
the Hashemites in Iraq.”
In the Perle-Feith-Wurmser strategy, Israel's enemy remains Syria, but the road to Damascus runs through Baghdad.
Their plan, which urged Israel to re-establish "the principle of preemption,"
has now been imposed by Perle,
Feith, Wurmser & Co. on the United States.
In his own 1997 paper, "A Strategy for Israel," Feith pressed
Israel to re-occupy "the areas under Palestinian Authority control," though
"the price in blood
would be high."
Wurmser, as a resident scholar at AEI,
drafted joint war plans for
Israel and the United States
"to fatally strike
the centers of radicalism in the Middle East. Israel and the United States
should broaden the conflict to strike fatally, not merely disarm, the centers of
radicalism in the region-the regimes of Damascus, Baghdad, Tripoli, Tehran,
and Gaza.
That would establish the recognition that fighting either the United States or
Israel is suicidal."
He urged both nations to be on the lookout for a crisis, for as he wrote,
"Crises can be
opportunities."
Wurmser published his U.S.-Israeli war plan on Jan. 1, 2001,
nine months before 9/11.
[NOTE:
Witness how the capture of 2 Israeli soldiers was the only “opportunity” that
USreal (US and Israel) needed to go on a rampage of destruction, killing and
“collective punishment” of millions of people in Gaza and Lebanon. –CR]
About the Perle-Feith-Wurmser cabal, author Michael Lind writes:
The radical Zionist right to which Perle and Feith belong is small in number
but it has become a significant force in Republican policy-making circles.
It is a recent phenomenon, dating back to the late 1970s and 1980s, when many
formerly Democratic Jewish intellectuals joined the broad Reagan coalition.
While
many of these hawks speak in public about global crusades for democracy, the
chief concern of many such "neo-conservatives" is the power and reputation of
Israel.
Right down the smokestack.
Perle today chairs the Defense Policy Board, Feith is an Undersecretary of
Defense, and Wurmser is special assistant to the Undersecretary of State for
Arms Control, John Bolton, [Now representing the U.S. at the U.N. –
CR] who dutifully
echoes the Perle-Sharon line.
According to
the Israeli daily newspaper Ha'aretz, in late February (2003):
“U.S. Undersecretary of State John
Bolton said in meetings with Israeli officials that he has no doubt America will
attack Iraq and that it will be necessary to deal with threats from Syria, Iran
and North Korea afterwards.”
On Jan. 26, 1998, President Clinton received a letter imploring him to use his State of the Union address to make removal of Saddam Hussein's regime the "aim of American foreign policy" and to use military action because "diplomacy is failing." Were Clinton to do that, the signers pledged, they would "offer our full support in this difficult but necessary endeavor." Signing the pledge were Elliott Abrams, Bill Bennett, John Bolton, Robert Kagan, William Kristol, Richard Perle, and Paul Wolfowitz.
Four
years before 9/11, the neocons had Baghdad on their minds.
The Wolfowitz Doctrine
In 1992, a startling document was leaked from the office of Paul
Wolfowitz at the Pentagon. Barton Gellman of the Washington Post called it a
"classified blueprint intended to help `set the nation's direction for the
next century.'"
The Wolfowitz Memo called for a permanent U.S. military presence on six
continents to deter all "potential competitors from even aspiring to a
larger regional or global role." Containment, the victorious strategy of
the Cold War, was to give way to an ambitious new strategy designed to
"establish and protect a new order."
Though the Wolfowitz Memo was denounced and dismissed in 1992,
it became American policy in the
33-page National Security Strategy (NSS) issued by President Bush on Sept. 21,
2002. Washington Post
reporter Tim Reich describes it as a "watershed in U.S. foreign policy"
that "reverses the
fundamental principles that have guided successive Presidents for more than 50
years: containment and deterrence."
Andrew Bacevich, a professor at Boston University, writes of the NSS that he
marvels at "its fusion of breathtaking utopianism with barely disguised
machtpolitik. It reads as if it were the product
not of sober, ostensibly
conservative Republicans
but of an unlikely collaboration between Woodrow Wilson and the elder Field
Marshal von Moltke."
In confronting America's adversaries, the paper declares,
"We will not hesitate to act alone, if necessary, to exercise our right of
self-defense by acting preemptively."
It warns any nation that seeks to acquire power to rival the United States that
it will be courting war with the United States:
”[T]he president has no intention of allowing any nation to catch up with
the huge lead the United States has opened since the fall of the Soviet Union
more than a decade ago. . Our forces will be strong enough to dissuade potential
adversaries from pursuing a military buildup in hopes of surpassing or equaling
the power of the United States.”
America must reconcile herself to an era of "nation-building on a grand
scale, and with no exit strategy," Robert Kagan instructs. But this Pax
Americana the neocons envision bids to usher us into a time of what Harry Elmer
Barnes called
"permanent war for permanent peace."
The Munich Card
As President Bush was warned on Sept. 20, 2001, that he will be indicted for "a
decisive surrender" in the war on terror should he fail to attack Iraq,
he is also on notice that
pressure on Israel is forbidden.
For as the neoconservatives have played the anti-Semitic card, they will not
hesitate to play the Munich card as well.
A year
ago, when Bush called on Sharon to pull out of the West Bank, Sharon fired back
that he would not let anyone do to Israel what Neville Chamberlain had done to
the Czechs. Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy immediately backed
up Ariel Sharon:
With each passing day, Washington appears to view its principal Middle Eastern
ally's conduct as inconvenient -- in much the same way London and Paris came
to see Czechoslovakia's resistance to Hitler's offers of peace in exchange for
Czech lands.
When former U.S. NATO commander Gen. George Jouwlan said the United States
may have to impose a peace on Israel and the Palestinians, he, too, faced the
charge of appeasement. Wrote Gaffney,
They would, presumably, go beyond Britain and France's sell-out of an ally at
Munich in 1938. The
"impose a peace"
school is apparently prepared to have us play the role of Hitler's Wehrmacht as
well, seizing and turning over to Yasser Arafat the contemporary Sudetenland:
the West Bank and Gaza Strip and perhaps part of Jerusalem as well.
Podhoretz agreed Sharon was right in the substance of what he said but called it
politically unwise to use the Munich analogy.
President Bush is on
notice: Should he
pressure Israel to trade land for peace, the Oslo formula in which his father
and Yitzak Rabin believed, he will, as was his father, be denounced as an
anti-Semite and a Munich-style appeaser by both Israelis and their
neoconservatives allies inside his own Big Tent.
Yet, if Bush cannot deliver Sharon there can be no peace.
And if there is no peace in the
Mideast there is no security for us, ever -- for there will be no end to
terror. As most every
diplomat and journalist who travels to the region will relate, America's failure
to be even-handed, our failure to rein in Sharon, our failure to condemn
Israel's excesses, and our moral complicity in Israel's looting of Palestinian
lands and denial of their right to self-determination sustains the
anti-Americanism in the Islamic world in which terrorists and terrorism breed.
Let us conclude. The Israeli people are America's friends and have a
right to peace and secure borders. We should help them secure these rights. As a
nation, we have made a moral commitment, endorsed by half a dozen presidents,
which Americans wish to honor, not to permit these people who have suffered
much, to see their country overrun and destroyed. And we must honor this
commitment.
But U.S. and Israeli interests are not identical. They often collide, and
when they do, U.S. interests must prevail. Moreover, we do not view the
Sharon regime as "America's best friend."
Since the time of Ben Gurion, the behavior of the Israeli regime has been
Jekyll and Hyde. In the 1950s, its intelligence service, the Mossad, had
agents in Egypt blow up U.S. installations to make it appear the work of Cairo,
to destroy U.S. relations with the new Nasser government. During the Six Day War,
Israel ordered repeated attacks on the undefended USS Liberty that killed 34
American sailors and wounded 171 and included the machine-gunning of life rafts.
This massacre was neither investigated nor punished by the U.S. government in
an act of national cravenness.
Though we have given Israel $20,000 for every Jewish citizen, Israel refuses
to stop building the settlements that are the cause of the Palestinian intifada.
Likud has dragged our good name through the mud and blood of Ramallah, ignored
Bush's requests to restrain itself, and sold U.S. weapons technology to China,
including the Patriot, the Phoenix air-to-air missile, and the Lavi fighter,
which is based on F-16 technology. Only direct U.S. intervention blocked
Israel's sale of our AWACS system.
Israel suborned Jonathan Pollard to loot our secrets and refuses to return
the documents, which would establish whether or not they were sold to Moscow.
When Clinton tried to broker an agreement at Wye Plantation between Israel and
Arafat, Bibi Netanyahu attempted to extort, as his price for signing, release of
Pollard, so he could take this treasonous snake back to Israel as a national
hero.
Do the Brits, our closest allies, behave like this?
Though we have said repeatedly that we admire much of what this president has
done, he will not deserve re-election if he does not jettison the
neoconservatives' agenda of endless wars on the Islamic world that serve only
the interests of a country other than the one he was elected to preserve and
protect.
