Cheney's JINSA/PNAC Hawks 'Hijacking Policy'

Keep in mind when reading the following that Cheney and Feith are associated with JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs) which had wanted regime change in Iraq long before the tragic 9/11 attack (see the Robert Fisk and Jason Vest articles which are included after the following):

Cheney's Hawks 'Hijacking Policy'

By Ritt Goldstein

Sydney Morning Herald

Thursday 30 October 2003

A former Pentagon officer turned whistleblower says a group of hawks in the Bush Administration, including the Vice-President, Dick Cheney, is running a shadow foreign policy, contravening Washington's official line.

"What these people are doing now makes Iran-Contra [a Reagan administration national security scandal] look like amateur hour. . . it's worse than Iran-Contra, worse than what happened in Vietnam," said Karen Kwiatkowski, a former air force lieutenant-colonel.

"[President] George Bush isn't in control . . . the country's been hijacked," she said, describing how "key [governmental] areas of neoconservative concern were politically staffed".

Ms Kwiatkowski, who retired this year after 20 years service, was a Middle East specialist in the office of the Undersecretary of Defence for Policy, headed by Douglas Feith.

She described "a subversion of constitutional limits on executive power and a co-optation through deceit of a large segment of the Congress", adding that "in order to take that first step - Iraq - lies had to be told to Congress to bring them on board".

Ms Kwiatkowski said the pursuit of national security decisions often bypassed "civil service and active-duty military professionals", and was handled instead by political appointees who shared common ideological ties.

There was speculation earlier this year that such an ideologue group had emerged, and that it was behind the US attack on an Iraqi convoy in Syria in June.

The New York Times quoted Patrick Lang, a former senior Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) official, as saying that many in the Government believed the incursion was an effort by ideologues to disrupt co-operation between the US and Syria.

Ms Kwiatkowski said there was an extra-governmental network operating outside normal structures and practices, "a network of political appointees in key positions who felt they needed to take some action, to make things happen in a foreign affairs, national security way". She said Pentagon personnel and the DIA were pressured to favourably alter assessments and reports.

In a separate interview, Chalmers Johnson, an authority on US policy, said that the Administration's neo-conservatives had in effect seized power from Mr Bush.

Dr Johnson said the neo-conservatives had pursued an agenda outlined in the controversial 1992 Defence Planning Guidance. That document, drawn up at the direction of Mr Cheney when he was defence secretary, said the world's only superpower should not be cautious about asserting its power.

Please review the "A Clean Break" mention below as it is very important because it is the blueprint for further war in the Middle East for the JINSA/PNAC Neocon agenda which is mentioned in the following article by Robert Fisk:

Here is the "Men from JINSA and CSP" article (by Jason Vest) which Fisk mentions in the above article (so why haven't we seen Jason Vest interviewed on "Hardball" as I have the contact information for him as well):

Dear Mr. Carver,

I read (via the following URL) about your "Newsnight" segment for the BBC on the influence of the AIPAC (pro-Israel) lobby in the USA (as AIPAC had influenced for the invasion of Iraq as well):

JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs) and PNAC (Project for the New American Century as JINSA Zionist extremists like Richard Perle are also associated with PNAC) and the influence of both for the invasion/occupation of Iraq as MP Dalyell had conveyed (please accesss the following article):

British Member of Parliament and Father of the Commons Tam Dalyell discussed JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs) and its influence for war with the current Bush regime. Here is an article about MP Dalyell's mention of JINSA:

Dear openDemocracy member

2 weeks ago http://www.openDemocracy.net published 'Noble lies and perpetual war', Danny Postel's interview with professor Shadia Drury. The article dissects the political philosophy of Leo Strauss: a key influence on George Bush's neo-con advisors.

Drury has been tracking the rise of Strauss' ideas and disciples for many years, from obscure seminar rooms all the way to the White House. She argues that there is a current of deception and manipulation in US policy that flows directly from Strauss' doctrines - including his adaptation of Plato's idea that the 'noble lie' is a legitimate tool of government.

Straussians in the Bush administration include deputy secretary of defence, Paul Wolfowitz, who recently acknowledged that the evidence used to justify the Iraq war was "murky".

If you haven't had a chance to read the article - take a look

http://www.opendemocracy.net/entry_points/Noble_lies_and_perpetual_war.jsp

This explosive interview has created a flurry of activity, debate and critique across cyberspace. From the Straussians own website - which unsurprisingly castigates Drury - to august institutions like Harvard, radical magazines like Mother Jones, high quality web aggregators like Arts and Letters Daily and dozens of weblogs, debate over this article, and the wider issues it raises has been colourful and intense.

We want to alert you to this vibrant, entertaining debate:
