Nothing But Politics

[Amaunet]

syl, When a matter of emphasis designed to mislead, exaggeration and lying are used to manipulate the American public and the citizens of the entire world into a world war which Woolsey has stated could last for decades and includes so far, according to Perle, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt among others then it is a grievous error not to speak out against this assault on integrity which could over the course of time lead to the death of untold numbers.

Any consideration of an action of that magnitude should be based solely on the truth and only on the truth. IMO Am

Reference:
R. James Woolsey, a former director of central intelligence, said Wednesday that Iraq was the opening of a "fourth world war," and that U.S. enemies included the fundamentalist religious rulers in Iran, states such as Syria and Islamic terrorist groups.
Woolsey seemed to be speaking for at least some in the administration. But Bush's aides will not discuss the future – yet.
"We don't want to talk about a broader agenda now," one of his aides said. "It's not the time. The time will come." Excerpt from Bush aides deny war new aspect in foreign policy


Another reference to Woolsey’s remark that Iraq is only the beginning of a “fourth world war”. The former C.I.A. director James Woolsey, a Wolfie pal and a prospective administrator in occupied Iraq, bluntly told U.C.L.A. students last week that to reshape the Middle East, the U.S. would have to spend years and maybe decades waging World War IV. (He counted the cold war as World War III.)

One of George W Bush's "thinkers" is Richard Perle.
I interviewed Perle when he was advising Reagan; and when he spoke about
"total war", I mistakenly dismissed him as mad. He recently used the term
again in describing America's "war on terror". "No stages," he said. "This
is total war. We are fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of them out
there. All this talk about first we are going to do Afghanistan, then we
will do Iraq... this is entirely the wrong way to go about it. If we just let our
vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely and we don't try to
piece together clever diplomacy, but just wage a total war... our children
will sing great songs about us years from now." – Pilger


Next on Perle's list would be Iran.

"It's part of the problem, not part of the solution," he said.
Perle's approach to Tehran would be different. He asserts the people of Iran are increasingly disaffected toward their government and favorable to the United States. That instinct could be "encouraged" with propaganda and support to political opposition groups.

"There may be ways to get other resources to opponents," he said.

Perle believes the overthrow of the government in Iran could be bloodless.

"We should be doing everything we can to encourage the centrifugal forces" of change there.

Perle said the United States should then turn its attention to longtime allies, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. – excerpt: Top Bush Adviser: 'Get Saddam Out Violently', NewsMax.com
