Investigate the Neocons
It is a good thing to be out of the loop; that’s what a vacation is for. Recently I attended an invitational croquet tournament in the New York area. Between playing and running off to various social activities, there was no time left to think about the problems of the wider world. It helped that I did not have a television in my room. In fact, the wider world, as well as all issues related to health and personal finances, receded to virtual invisibility. Is that why so many business and retired people play golf? For me, there is croquet and tennis. Somehow, though, between the matches and the cocktail and dinner parties, I stumbled across a copy of the Financial Times of London, the edition from Monday, July 23rd. There was an important guest editorial on page 7, which item does not seem to have shown up on the radar screens of the paleoconservative, anti-war and right-wing crowd with whom I run, when off the croquet and tennis courts.
The article is entitled “America must pull out of Iraq to contain civil war“ and was authored by Samuel Berger and Bruce Riedel. You no doubt recall Sandy “sticky fingers” Berger, Bill Clinton’s national security adviser from 1997-2000. There must have been something very disturbing indeed in the Clinton-era national security files at the National Archives, because in 2003 Berger decided to abscond and destroy certain, still unknown documents relating to terrorism, and he almost went to prison because of it. Otherwise, Sandy Berger seems like a nice enough chap, except for his professional association with Martin Indyk and Dennis Ross in the seven year fraud known as the Oslo “peace process” which culminated in the blowup at Camp David in the summer of 2000, at the tail end of Bubba’s reign.
It was at Camp David in July of 2000 that Tel Aviv and Washington found out that Yasser Arafat was not prepared to go down in history as a Quisling who enabled the perpetual military occupation of Palestine. Accordingly, Arafat was smeared and forthwith relegated to the outer void by Tel Aviv, Washington and the EU, while a search for the next prospective Quisling began. In the meantime, Ariel Sharon, G.W.’s new best friend, went to work hammer and tongs in the occupied territories, as he had done years before during the invasion Lebanon, where he is remembered as “The butcher of Beirut”. And then, the following summer of 2001, Uncle Sam got hit with 9/11, which terrorist atrocity was a direct, gigantic blowback from botched and blighted American foreign policies directed at the Middle East over several decades. Is a pattern emerging here?
The near-treasonous shenanigans, proactive malfeasance and gross nonfeasance in Washington relating to the tragedy of Palestine by top level Washington politicians and their “expert advisors” remains ongoing and unassailable. It is a national scandal, studiously ignored by the establishment press and by most everybody else. The so-called experts, in case you haven’t noticed, are invariably little more than Likud fellow travelers and agents of AIPAC. In this respect, it has been a revolving door at the White House, under both Clinton and Bush, and every office holder on Capitol Hill as well as every Washington reporter knows it. Why on God’s good earth would Zionist zealots like Elliott Abrams and David Wurmser be placed in charge of U.S. policy vis-a-vis Israel and the Arabs? It is insane. Inquiring minds would like to know the reason why. Could it have something to do with raw domestic politics, campaign contributions, special interest groups and Washington lobbies? What do you think?
As for Bruce Riedel, the co-author of the FT article, he is described as a nonresident “senior fellow” at The Saban Center for Middle East Studies, Brookings Institute. Riedel is a long-time CIA veteran who worked for Clinton and then briefly in the Cheney Regency at the NSC from 2001-2002. Surprisingly, he does not appear to be just another run-of-the-mill Likudnik on the Washington merry-go-round. I say surprisingly, because of his association with The Saban Center, which outfit is such an obvious front organization for the Israel Lobby.
The Center is bankrolled by the international media kingpin Chaim “I’m a one-issue guy and my issue is Israel” Saban, a deep-pockets contributor to Democrats and a bosom buddy of Bubba and Hillary and Howard Dean. Not too long ago, Saban, who is headquartered in Los Angeles , took over the largest television news outlet in Germany, SAT.l Media. Welcome to the benefactions of globalism and thought control. The director of research at The Saban Center is Kenneth Pollack, a prime propagandist for the invasion of Iraq, best known for his slick, insipid and fatuous book, The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq, fulsomely praised in 2002. The subject matter was Saddam Hussein and his cache of WMDs, supposedly threatening “America and its interests”. You see to what dead end such idiocy and hubris have brought us. The aforementioned Indyk—suprise, surprise—is the Director of The Saban Center.
Back to the FT article at hand, which I suspect was written by Riedel, who truly is an expert, not a Zionist apparatchik. I found myself agreeing with most of his outlook and ideas, but wondering why the points made in the article had not occurred to him earlier—say, before the invasion. Maybe they did, but were then tossed into the waste paper basket due to the stress and exigencies of the moment—meaning the heady, irrational atmosphere created by the frantic rush to war, led by those “useful idiots”, Dick Cheney and G.W.
Item: “None of Iraq’s neighbors were eager for the invasion four years ago.... All of them saw the US and UK occupation as inherently destabilising....” Understood and agreed, Mr. Riedel. So why invade in the first place?
Item: “Iraq is already a safe haven for al-Qaeda terrorists who have attacked Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon....” Correct, the point being that it was not a safe haven before. So why did Washington invade, thereby creating such a terrorist haven for attacks upon Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon? Is that in America’s best interests?
Item: “...it is imperative that the US make clear...we plan no permanent military presence in Iraq, no bases and no special relationship. We want a fully independent Iraq, not a client state.” Do we? Are you joking, Mr. Riedel? To what end is Cheney building the largest U.S. embassy in the world in the Green Zone? May I ask the simple question for the last time, why was it imperative to invade the country? Iraq under Saddam Hussein was fully independent and not a client state of the US. Why create the inferno which exists today? Would it not have been far wiser, more prudent and less expensive simply to lift non-military sanctions on Iraq after 9/11, but keep an embargo on military supplies?
At all times please bear in mind that in 2002 there were no WMDs left in Iraq, none whatsoever, and Saddam Hussein had no connection whatsoever with 9/11. Iraq was no threat to anybody. The UN inspectors had arrived essentially at that conclusion. It was only George Tenet’s CIA—with lots of help from Douglas Feith’s Lie Factory at the Pentagon and from Mossad—which manufactured unsubstantiated stories to the contrary. The FT article, alas, does not address such outstanding issues, which are related to malfeasance, influence peddling, and espionage.
That is why we urgently need an American Inspector Maigret to investigate who was behind the decision to invade Iraq. The invasion was entirely unnecessary, wanton and ruinous. On its face, it remains inexplicable. America and the world have a right to know who was responsible for it, and those responsible should be held accountable for their actions, if need be with jail sentences. No cover-up and no pardons, please.
The whole subject deserves to be thoroughly investigated, starting of course with AIPAC and with the so-called “neocons“, the intellectual outriders for AIPAC, whom Taki has referred to as “Fifth Column fanatics“; and then with the front organizations like The Saban Center and The American Enterprise Institute; next in line would be the Middle East, private-agenda “experts” like the aforementioned Indyk, Ross, Pollack, Abrams, Feith and Wurmser, among others. The American Maigret would have to be appointed by the Senate and the Congress, with full powers to follow the investigation wherever it might lead. Can you imagine Maigret sitting down for a talk with Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, Dick Cheney, “Scooter” Libby, Henry Kissinger, Karl Rove, not to mention G.W.?
There is a long list of such dubious characters to be interviewed. There is a need to assess their conflicting motives and their level of participation. If it can be done, only an inscrutable, nonpartisan, nonplussable genius like Maigret would be capable of unearthing what actually happened. The problem is, at the end of the day could the politicians in Washington take it? Could they handle the truth? Could the country at large? The answer is, probably not. Accordingly, the chances of an honest investigation into the enterprise of Iraq are, realistically speaking, next to zero. The powers-that-be would like us to think that this mad misadventure somehow happened by accident.
Politics and campaign contributions rule. Washington cannot be expected to investigate itself. The perpetrators have gotten away with it, and are “moving on“ to other ventures and venues. After all, their mission has been accomplished. It is Uncle Sam who is paying the price in blood, treasure and credibility. It is Uncle Sam who has been taken to the cleaners. The bill grows momently more colossal. Is there no accountability?

There was definately a conspiracy, likely criminal in nature,
to incite the world to war against fundamentalist Islam,
obviously on behalf of international finance capitalism
and the dream of a “Greater Israel”. The elite knows
we cannot have a “flat world” unless the oil that fuels
“globalization” is under control of secular humanist,
global finance capitalism.
Will there ever be investigation? Unlikely. We know
who controls the Congress, and the strings of financial
power. Crucify America on a cross of gold paid for with
the black death of oil on behalf of a cultural conceit.

Wasn’t Saddam Hussein stealing $billions in oil and selling it on the black market? Didn’t the US Ambassador to Iraq give Saddam the “green light” to invade Kuwait? We used the invasion as an excuse to put military bases in Saudi Arabia. After the first Gulf War we kept Saddam confined with economic sanctions and no-fly zones. Then Osama bin Laden issued his fatwa demanding US military bases be removed from sacred Saudi soil. He attacked US embassies in Africa, the WTC in 1993 and the USS Cole in Yemen. After 9-11 it seems the US decided to remove the military bases from Saudi Arabia and relocate them to .... Iraq.
Of course, the excuse to invade Iraq was WMD. But Saddam’s son-in-law, the general in charge of WMD, had defected to the West with documents proving the WMD had been destroyed. Apparently so.

It truly is appalling that one cannot get any simple answer as to why we had to go into Iraq other than that WMD nonsense and no one really seems to care. The media has to take most of the blame for being conned and not holding anyone accountable after the con was found out. They went after Nixon et al for some dirty tricks like he was a mass murderer and yet, this time, they’ve been beaten down like some dirty dogs.

Forget an investigation into the Iraq invasion. We
need another, perhaps private investigation into 9/11.
The FBI will not blame any of the “Most Wanted”
terrorists with 9/11, including bin Laden. What’s up
with that? Just go to the FBI’s website if you
don’t believe me.
We were all told ad nauseam after 9/11 that Al Qaeda
and bin Laden were responsible. That’s why all of
America (except for a few fringe lefties and far more
principled libertarians) supported the invasion of
Afghanistan. If the FBI cannot hold them responsible,
is that because there isn’t enough evidence? If not,
why not post the evidence? If so, why the invasion,
and far more important, who is responsible??!!

Excellent article except for the charecterization of Quisling as wanting to keep his country in a military camp. Nothing could be farther from the truth as he tried to get the king who had fled to return, having failed in this attempt he ruled for a brief perioud of time for the Nazis. Remember, the same smear machine that went into action against Arafat went to work against hime as well.

I think I speak for everyone who reads this site when I say it is VERY frustrating that the neo cons have not had to pay for this in any tangible way other than a few uncomfortable c span appearences. as a result, they are getting us in to Iran. I’m not suggesting violence or anything like that. It’s just very disheartening that the very mainstream media has not ackowledged what we have all nown for along timer: that the neocons were wrong and have no knowledge about the middle east at all, only israeli propaganda and that terrorists will kill us if we do not get our asses out of the middle east.

When over 2 million Iraqis are dead and 4 Million refugees, and the whole world knows that this was a plot hatched in Tel Aviv to destroy and splinter Iraq, Syria and Iran for starters, its too late for inspector Maigret.
No what’s needed now is an international war crimes tribunal at the Hague or better still at Nuremberg.
The silver lining is that the blow-back this time will result in the collapse of the US and Israel, and a sane multi-polar world is already on the horizon. All these neo Nazi German and East European Jews at AIPAC have accomplished is the destruction of the US empire.
Thank You

“And then, the following summer of 2001, Uncle Sam got hit with 9/11, which terrorist atrocity was a direct, gigantic blowback from botched and blighted American foreign policies directed at the Middle East over several decades.”
I remember where I was when the first building went down, and someone said ‘why?’, and I said ‘payback time’. I received a blank stare of non-comprehension.
The press was silent for a couple of days about the line to take, then all of a sudden, like a single voice, every TV station, every newspaper, every magazine spoke: The patsy was Saudi Arabia, as though it was Saudi government policy to support this terrorist action, even though Saudi Arabia had been a consistent ally over the years, both financially and militarily. The policies of the US in the Middle East were not to blame; the penning up of Palestinians in concentration camps for 50 years was not to blame.
Under false premises, the neocons continued their hijacking of the US government, and with US military resources, set on a plan to conquer nations in the Middle East one by one starting with Iraq, using young Americans as cannon fodder.
Now these days, the press speaks with a single voice again, and the volume is increasing by the day. Russia is a new Fascist state, Putin is a monster, etc,etc. Is it a coincidence that the looters of Russia for 15 years were kicked out of Russia or investigated and arrested, or if they were lucky, got out in time along with their treasure? They now seek revenge against Russia from safe havens in the West, and they have virtually unlimited resources to do so.
Welcome to the new Cold War, perhaps some day to be another hot war.

I recently read a devastating rumor that, in 1983 with the beihrut bombing, Mossad was aware of it and didn’t tip us off. Same thing goes for 9/11. We have many allies in the world, but they are allies only if the money train keeps rolling.

There is plenty of evidence showing, not only did the Israeli Mossad have prior knowledge of 911, but were acting as handlers of the hijackers. See Justin Raimondo exposure of Mossad film crew filming 911 catastrophe.
The plot was developed in Germany by a group that was infiltrated by Mossad. It is highly implausible that Bin Laden had any role in the actual implementation of the plot. The qudos goes to Israel.
The plot served as a Tonkn gulf incident to enable The Israeli Libenstraum plot to be put into motion by Sharon’s dancing pigs in the white house and congress.

Yes there is a powerful pro-Israel lobby that supported the war (the chief effect of that support was to bring the Democrats on board), but that’s not the primary cause of the war. George W. Bush’s father had little problem resisting that pressure, so did Bill Clinton. We are in Iraq because the game is largely up for Republicans and fake conservatives in domestic politics and their leaders know it. . They have no respect for American sovereignty or culture ( the immigration fiasco proved that), they stand for nothing except Wall Street and the country club As insider David Frum said in an excellent editorial ("Building a Coalition, Forgetting to Rule") on Karl Rove a few days ago:
“But it has been apparent for many years that the Democratic base is growing faster than the Republican base. The numbers of the unmarried and the non-churchgoing are growing faster than the numbers of married and church-going Americans. The nonwhite and immigrant population is growing at a faster rate than that of white native-borns. The Democrats are the party of the top and bottom of American society; the Republicans do best in the great American middle, which is losing ground.
Mr. Rove often reminded me of a miner extracting the last nuggets from an exhausted seam. His attempts to prospect a new motherlode have led the Republican party into the immigration debacle.”
The Republicans have been extracting the last nuggets - serving Wall Street and appeasing the liberal establishment while screwing their constituents and the nation - since the days of Nixon. Bush wasn’t tricked by Neocons, he knew what he was doing. The war in Iraq was a bold and stupid attempt to distract the voters, particularly the Republican base, from the facts outlined by Mr. Frum above. This administration has tried since its inception to reignite the Cold War with Russia or China and when that didn’t pan out they decided to play the Galtieri card. A desperate draw to a three card inside straight.

The American people have very little understanding concerning what has transpired in the Middle East since the end of World War 1. They have been fed mostly propaganda driven by the Israeli state and organizations like AIPAC since WWII. The way forward is not more propaganda and war. A more informed American public that has a decent grasp of the historical facts will do more to settle the 100 year enmity between parties that claim land in Palestine/Israel than anything else. If the US government did not give Israel billions of dollars of US Taxpayers money each year the government of Israel would be forced to honesty work toward settling its differences with the rest of the population in the Middle East. Right now it just talks peace while stealing land as fast as possible with American cover and funding as well as brutalizing the original inhabitants of the area, not a recipe for success.
The Arabs are not like the Vietnamese. They will not likely forget nor forgive like the mostly Buddhist influenced Vietnamese. The more the IDF brutalizes the Palestinians the harder it will be to reconcile the issues that must eventually be faced and reconciled. America will soon loose its dominance due to its reckless actions internationally and declining economy; a function of diminished productive capacity and imperial hubris. Wall Street adds no value to the American economy. It only takes a non value-added bite. The bill for the US’s profligate behavior will come due and when it does, if the Israelis have not made an honest peace with their neighbors, the future does not seem bright for them. As we sow, so shall we reap.

Although DanDeMan’s advice is correct, it is atleast 10 to 15 years too late.
Iraq and Afghanistan will do to the U.S what Afghanistan did to the USSR.
As an economist I have pondered every scenario from immediate withdrawal to playing the neocon game in Iran and Syria. Each option results in the eventual collapse of the obscene U.S delusion of a unipolar world. Any assault on Iran will result in the total defeat of the U.S in a far more humiliating manner than Vietnam. One immediate consequence will be that Pakistan will be forced to side with Iran, making the theater a bridge too far (remember stalingrad). This time the U.S economy will probably lead the collapse of the project. one nudge from China the greenback will collapse. Over the next 15 to 25 years the best the U.S. can hope for is to survive like the U.K does today. China is overtaking the U.S. as the economic and military engine of the world, and will develop strong linkages with the economies of canada and Mexico, Latin America and much of the world including Africa, Russia and the most of the Muslim world. As Israel becomes less secure most of the Zionist settlers will emigrate back Russia or Poland or Broklyn, wherever they came from. Population dynamics will force a secular semite state to emerge to replace the Gulag called Israel.
Please remember Palestinians are semites.
I’m not so sure the immigrants from Russia or Broklyn can make the same claim and prove it. Zionists are anti-semites. These people have never understood how to weild power for the last 2,500 years. In 60 short years they and AIPAC have proved they don’t know how to play chess, and they can’t hol power. I’m reminded of a U.S soldier in Viet Nam commenting “This war is being run by 5 star clowns and they are determined to give the circus away"…
by being led by the Nose by these ignorant Neocons the U.S. Establishment have shown they are incapable of undestanding even the rudiments of empire management....Historians will have to deal with reality. They will scratch their heads trying to undestand the delusions of the neocons. Then they will remember Hitler.

Zionist control over US mideast policy was solidfied a long time ago when the so-called ‘Arabists” were driven out of the State Department.
It has been a steady ride downhill from there. With the empowering of the neo-cons hopefully the pendulum has swung just about as far as it can go.
One war for Israel is more than enough. If the Zionist fanatics succeed in starting another one with Iran—the long overdue backlash against their evil machinations will finally take hold in America IMHO.

I think the intention of the invasion was to create a wider war in the entire region. The reason it was carried out relates to peak oil. Matt Simmons, who has advised the White House on energy policy believes that peak world oil production was passed in late 2005.
Here is a link to a recent interview he gave on Financial Sense:
http://www.financialsense.com/transcriptions/2007/0818.html
Bush and Cheney had two options, develop alternative energy or take over oil production in the Middle East.
I think Cheney is using the neocon agenda as a smokescreen to hide behind. His policy is to kill as many Muslims as he can before the world wakes up to the fact that the days of cheap oil have gone forever.
As Cheney said, the American way of life is non-negotiable. Once we get our first oil shortage crisis I don’t think the average American is going to care how many people have been killed by this bunch of thugs.
Luckily for the rest of us a French company called MDI have developed a compressed air car. Here’s the link:
http://www.theaircar.com/
Bush and Cheney could have invested in research and development of alternative energies, but they seem to prefer mass murder instead.

Hello.. This is just a comment on the center of the paleo-conservitive movement as suggested by Taki, Justin, and Pat.
I know that the powers that be are fierce, and also I know that Fisk admitted 911 might be a flim flam… Why have not any of our paleo-conservative heroes admitted as such.. Why are they hiding?
They are hiding from the powers that be, to insure that their livelihoods not be destroyed by the Neocon traitors that have taken over our country.
None of the official paleo-cons would ever suggest anything other that Arab Terrorists did 911 to us.
Taki, Justin, and Pat continue to claim that they did it because… None of them has the courage to say that we did it to ourselves……because?

The neocons will never be held accountable. Peak oil is already hitting the third world. Here’s a link: http://www.energyandcapital.com/articles/peak+oil-renewable+energy-shortages/490
As the price of oil increases for all of us all moral standards are going to go straight out of the window. A year or two from now Americans will realise Bush has conquered the two countries with the largest and cheapest to extract oil reserves. They’ll probably rename Washington after him.
America will have China, Japan and Europe over a barrel, forgive the pun.
The higher cost of oil, assuming you can get it, will drive up food prices. The world is not ready to move to new energy sources yet. So they will attack Iran.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that a CIA man had testified to congress that the US government and its satellites have killed over 50 million people since the end of World War 2. This revelation didn’t seem to get much notice. Nobody has been held accountable for that, so it’s on to the next 50 million. Who are of course Iranians.
The neocon goal can only be to depopulate the entire region. It has an awful logic to it.

The neocons (part of the Israel lobby) are responsible for the Iraq war.
The MIC Israeli neo nazi allaince needed blood, so did the delusional “lets grab the oil fields” (Cheney sociopaths) but the neocons made it happen.
As they have sown so shall they reap.

Don’t just investigate the ‘Neocons’, “Waterboard” our USA President/Vice President
and all the “New Nazis” - since it’s not considered torture - to determine who was actually responsible for the staged 9/11 Fiasco. Remember: WW1/WW2(Pearl Harbor), Lincoln, Gulf of Tonkin, JFK, MLK, RFK, USS Liberty and the ‘Mother of them all: 9/11. Beware: The Mexicas (Meh-SHEE-kahs)are comming. Excuse me: They’re already here. Also: The Patriot Act/Homeland Security: Thanx 9/11. Bottom Line: Hitler was created by the Zionists’ Political Movement thus creating a ‘pseudo holocaust’.
