From the American News Project:

Washington's neocons are alive and well, advising both John McCain and President Bush. Now many are saying Bush should permit Israel to attack Iran's nuclear facilities after Election Day before the new president takes office. ANP investigates as we chase down John Bolton, Bill Kristol and Frank Gaffney to see how far ahead these hawks are thinking. And a new report says the whole plan could backfire.

In his Farewell Address To the People of the United States, George Washington warned about the harm of political party:

"It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another."

Fast forward to the Project for the New American Century, the Neocon takeover of the Republican Party, Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh, Hannity, AIPAC, the Pentagon Office of Special Plans, Iraq, and now Iran.

Washington warned his fellow countrymen.

I think the Neocons, White House on down through these nefarious groups, want not only power but since their Big Oil Buddies have secured, with our blood and treasure, the oil of Iraq they are after Iran's oil, of course, and an easier route to the ocean with the oil than through Kuwait. Iran's threat to Israel is just a ruse to justify their evil scheme.

I think if we hadn't made howls of protest every time the administration looked cross-eyed at Iran, they would have started the bombing already. Even they know they need to have a certain percentage of the population behind them in order to attack, and so far Americans have been vocal in their rejection of such a move.

The threat of an attack from Israel circumvents the influence of American citizens on this situation, and I'm holding my breath until we can hopefully restore some sanity to the Executive Branch in America, with positive effects on the whole world. Meantime, don't try to tell me no one is threatening Iran. These guys look like they just can't wait to get started!

Now that they are leaving, I dont think they care if they have even a small minority of the public behind them. I think what they are looking at now is war crimes and future prosecution if they start into Iran without going strictly by the book. Not that the Dems, especially Pelosi , would do anything to them, but the world court or private legal action taken by US citizens could cause an unwanted expense for them. So if they can get Israel to start it, and we support them, then they can say they had nothing to do with it except helping a friend.

Why do I get a knot in my stomach every time I see John Bolton?

Maybe because I know something really BAD is about to happen!

PS.. Oh yeah, you will also find that many of these people in both groups Washington institute for near east policy, and PNAC, have dual citizenships , American and Israeli. So its not like they are a non bias parties who are making level headed decisions. But they are the parties who are deciding for the future for both the US and Israel, and the people of both countries dont seem to have much of a say. Thats just wrong.

Perfect timing...
Give a time-table for withdrawal from Iraq, then back an attack against Iran just before Obama comes into office... Perfect.

Blame the Democrats for not having a "muscular" enough Mid-East policy, and do the whole damn over.

What great planning.

Do yourself a favor, go to Washington istitute for near east policy, look at advisory board names. You will see most are high level CIA, Pentagon, white house people. You will also find if you cross reference. Also, most all are PNAC members as well.

Now go here for PNAC. The ones that are not listed, can be crossed by googling their names with PNAC behind it. Many hits come up linking them

when did Israel become the 51st state?...w­hen is someone going to mention that Isreal has been in violation of UN resolutions for 40 years? Was a good enough reason to invade Iraq.....f­or the love of god don't let these idiots drag my country into another mess that isn't our problem. Israel can free the occupied people and be a real democracy anytime and make things better for themselves and especially better for my country the USA.

AEI is one of the most lunatic institutions I have ever seen in Washington besides the Scientology house just off of Connecticut Avenue by the Hilton where Hinkley shot President Reagan. Please don't laugh, but one of AEI's highest awards is the Irving Kristol Award who is recognized as the "godfather of neoconservatism" who was also a Trotskyist in his youth and apparently, still is.

I guess if you are a failed scholar with no academic background in Middle-Eastern studies whose CV consists mainly of letters of recommendation from your buddies and trash published in non-peer reviewed journals, you can qualify for a position at AEI. By the way, I wonder how many of these pseudo-scholars who are advocating war with Iran can speak Parsi?

Today i happened to be in an office and read a mcleans (Canadian newseekly) from June 23/08. Talking about points of view on Iran, they referred to the AEI as a "conservative thinktank.­" You know, just a plain old run of the mill boring ol' policy wanktank.

I swear, if it wasn't for the internet, we wouldn't even know what a neoconservative is.

I keep wondering, what percentage of McClean's reader would know? 5? 10? 20? 20 seems too high for some reason...

Bolton, Rumsfield, Gates, Cheney, Bush, Kristol, and about 80% of the highest level goons in the white house and the pentagon are all members of the people who started all of this rolling, PNAC. I think PNAC should be classified as a terrorist organization and all of US forces , justice department, military, and even CIA, NSA and beyond should be used to capture and keep anyone associated with PNAC from ever seeing daylight again. Its the only way to ensure the safety of the USA, and the world. PNAC is a very dangerous and deadly group of people with to much power, and to little common sense. They are an aggressive power and profit seeking group that has been very public in the past about their agenda of having certain people in the USA, namely PNAC members, be an uncontested control power and leader of the whole world , and want to make it possible by using the US military force and the US tax payer money. Go ahead, google PNAC. read for yourself. These are a group of the most loony power hungry people int he world, and they have a lot of power in the US. THey need to be stopped NOW!! Or we will all be living under their oppressive dictatorships. Dont take my word for it, research it yourself.

This is the MOST IMPORTANT, under-reported story of this century,---how a small group of neoconservative radicals engineered the silent COUP of our government in 2000! It was a plan first hatched by Rumsfield and Cheney during Bush Sr.'s term, discarded by him as "too radical", provided the election platform for Israel's Netanyahu in 1996, then adapted formally by a neo-con "think tank", PNAC, in 1997, finally finding their perfect "patsy" in GWB, whose election they ensured in 2000, with one of their founding members, Cheney, selecting himself as V.P.! All of them were placed in the highest levels of the Bush administration!

Since we were "the world's only remaining superpower", they contended that we will allow no other nation in the world to challenge our superiority! Their chief goal was the "re-shaping" of the ME by establishing permanent bases in Iraq after regime change, then expanding to change the regimes of all countries around Israel to democracies, thereby eliminating the threats to Israel! The military requirements to do this were spelled out in "Rebuilding America's Defenses" (Sept. 2000), calling for "another Pearl Harbor" to mobilize the American public for such a massive project. Google "Bush Doctrine", Heritage Foundation, American Enterprise Institute.

No, these men are not NEW neo-cons! They've been controlling our country since 2000! They ARE dangerous and determined to go after the "crown jewel", Iran, before their guys Bush/Cheney leave office! But, don't disturb Congress; they're on vacation!

Excellent summary. We have been trying to inform people of this ever since the invasion. It is time for Americans to WAKE UP ! Not only is druidlady's comment totally correct, but she left out the part that MSM is also complicit in this dasterdly plan....wh­ich is why there is NEVER any mention of PNAC on any news channel...­.even FOX who has the author of the plan (Kristol) on screen regularly. WAKE UP AMERICA...­..THEN SPREAD THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!
