The real reason for war with Iraq

[oane]

NOTE: This is a "backdated" discussion, which I am referring to. Obviously, many predictions/facts stated by individuals were incorrect to some extent.

Still, it makes for an interesting reading...

First, we have a chief executive so naive about the world outside of Texas, he probably couldn't find a lot of countries on a map. Second, he has surrounded himself with American Likudniks — supporters of Israel's right-wing government. Even The Washington Post reported recently what I've been saying for months: that Bush's policy is identical to that of Ariel Sharon's, the Israeli prime minister. I've said that Bush has been acting like Sharon's puppet; The Washington Post story quoted a U.S. official as saying Sharon has "played Bush like a violin."

The Israelis have long feared Iraq, Iran and North Korea (because they fear it will sell missiles to Iran). What a coincidence that those three countries are Bush's "axis of evil."

Before Bush's election, Dick Cheney (now vice president), John Bolton (now undersecretary of state for arms control), Douglas Feith (now third-highest-ranking official in the Defense Department), Richard Perle (now chairman of the Defense Policy Board) and James Woolsey (former CIA director) all had one thing in common: They served as advisers to the pro-Israeli Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. This is according to an article that appeared in the magazine The Nation. Bush recently appointed as director of Middle Eastern affairs for the National Security Council Elliott Abrams, a protégé of Perle and a man convicted of lying to Congress during the Iran-Contra affair.

In 1996, according to an article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Perle, Feith and David Wurmser, now an assistant to Bolton, wrote a policy proposal for Benjamin Netanyahu, then Israel's prime minister. Included in their advice were tips on how to manipulate the American government (OK, even the Haaretz reporter says the report comes "dangerously close" to dual loyalty) and advice to drop the peace plan, drop the idea of land for peace and concentrate on toppling Saddam Hussein and eventually replacing other Middle Eastern governments in order to create a safe environment for Israel.

The famous quote you are refering to "axis of evil" was contained in a speach written by David Frum, a Canadian, who also happens to be jewish and extremely conservative.

The guys you mentioned in you post.......

Feith = Jewish

Perle = Jewish

Abrams = Jewish

Wurmser = Jewish

It is therefore logical that they would not be unbiased when it comes to the issue of Israel.

Well, there's usually no single reason for anything. But I've always been wary of the influence Israel has on this country.

Hey, I just quoted someone else's post! Pedant, ain't I.

Interestingly, Garner is also a pro-Israeli sympathetic and he's now ruling Iraq Garner actually "respects" Ariel Sharon, I understand.
