why does no major network use term "PNAC" ?
Edited on Thu Jul-24-03 07:17 PM by protect freedom impe
It is quite evident that PNAC had a strong hand in the push
for Bush Regime's Iraq occupation, yet no major news
network has reported that PNAC wanted and pushed for an Iraqi occupation years ago. AND very publically called for US military to act.

In fact maybe PNAC members were THE ONLY ONES in the Bush Regime
who wanted a 'war'. The CIA did not, and warned the Bush regime
that Saddam was not a real threat.

It is very apparent that the decision to go to "war" took place
the second Bush was able to steal the White House.

Cheney was drooling over Iraq oil field maps prior to 9-11.
The Cheney energy Task force was meeting to control
the world's oil reserves AND the PNAC was wanting to
sieze Iraq oil fields.

PNAC members in the Bush Regime number has high as
30 by some counts, yet the news whores are silent.

FACE IT - PNAC WANTED A "war" and then went to 'justify'
it to the American public by a propaganda campaign
of half-truths, lies, exagerations, fraud documents,
innuendo.

The WORLD WAS GOING TO END !! the Bush regime claimed.
The SKY WAS FALLING ! the Bush Regime claimed.
ONLY 45 MIN TILL DESTRUCTION ! the Bush regime claimed.

PNAC thugs flooded the airwaves with rampant cries
of "THE WORLD WILL END IF WE DONT STOP THIS MADMAN !!'

Peale, Cheney, Wolfowitz.
All PNAC world domination thugs flooded the talk shows
prior to the 'Bush Family Gulf War Take2'.

6. Months before the Iraq invasion,Tony Blair scoffed at those who
detailed PNAC's agenda, and stated that "They were engaged in internet conspiracies."

2. Do you think the media would drag
their unclothed masters out of the closet for all the world to see?

3. Don't the news media ever look at web sites? Here's a scary bit
Time to Focus on Iran - The Mother of Modern Terrorism

somebody ought to notice. Ledeen was calling for an attack on Iran (that's IraN, not IraQ) on April 30:

"Dr. Michael Ledeen Addresses the Policy Forum"

"The focus of the global fight against terrorism should be placed squarely on Iran - "the mother of modern terrorism" - announced Dr. Michael Ledeen, a Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research. Addressing the JINSA Policy Forum in Washington on April 30, 2003, Ledeen argued that now is the time for Iranian liberation. "I have never seen a country more ready for democracy than Iran."

"Drawing attention to the likelihood that Tehran will test nuclear devices by the end of this summer, Ledeen stressed that terrorism is not the only concern regarding Iran. He posited that Iranian leaders learned from North Korea that "if you have nuclear weapons, then you are untouchable." Ledeen argued that Iran might use nuclear weapons against Israel based on the rationale that "half of the Jewish population in the world would be killed after the attack versus a minute fraction of Muslim people killed in retaliation. It would be worth the lives of Iranians to destroy Israel." Ledeen also reminded the audience that both Syria and Iran sent tens of thousands of men into Iraq to aid the Iraqi Republican Guard against U.S. and allied troops. "

4. I looked for information about Iran (IraN. not IraQ) on PNAC's site

and found nothing, by the way, so be sure to include JINSA in your searches. And don't forget to keep up with the American Enterprise Institute, either. These groups (PNAC, JINSA, AEI) are interrelated.

Here are a couple of paragraphs from Michael Ledeen's latest article for AEI:

"In Iran, where treachery has long been the national sport and superstition the bedrock of political analysis, the people are casting runes and reading entrails, searching for certainty about the American strategy. Once they know it, they will act accordingly. If they see clearly, once and for all, that the United States is serious about regime change in Tehran, the ranks of the opposition will swell beyond counting. If they conclude that we have betrayed them to their masters, they will give up the struggle, at least temporarily. This is yet another reason why a clear American policy is so desperately needed. And still, the defining document, the long-awaited National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD) on Iran, gathers mold in the bowels of the bureaucracy, even though we have declared ourselves at war with the terror masters since September 12, 2001".

"In this confusion, the mullahs are stalling for time. They believe that if they can ride the whirlwind until next year, the president will forget foreign policy and devote all his energies to his reelection. They also believe that they can bloody us in Iraq, sending scores or even hundreds of body bags to American shores, eventually sapping our will and sending us home. And they believe that once they can demonstrate possession of an atomic bomb, they will become the North Korea of the Middle East, invulnerable to American attack."

"They are wrong on all counts. If this president sees our victory in Iraq threatened by Iranian sabotage, he will act with the same resolve he has shown since the war against the terror masters began nearly two years ago. Nothing would spur him on more than the spectacle of dead American soldiers. And an Iranian bomb would only add to his urgency, and strengthen the case for American support of the democratic revolution. The bomb might deter a military attack, but the doom of the mullahs will not come from the barrel of a gun. It will come from millions of Iranians in the public spaces of the major cities, demanding an end to their misery."

"So what are we waiting for?"


All together now: Two, four, six, eight, Iran is next to liberate!

Do a search for "Iran" at the AEI site and it'll pull up the above article, "The Future of Iran" and more.

7. Odd, the tenor
of that article highly resembles the rants of Islamicist extremists with Bush as their mullah or ayatollah.

No kidding, it really sounds the same.

The think tanks and PNAC too are too much propaganda fronts for enthusiasts and don't deeply reveal hardnosed reality and plans. Or maybe that is really all there is? I don't know which is worse to contemplate.
