• "...long committed publicly to a rollback strategy that would ensure Israel's security through regime change in the Arab world, beginning with Iraq. That radical and dangerous notion, based on a deep hostility to the Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts pursued by all previous presidents, had been clearly outlined by Feith in a 1996 report he co-wrote with Richard Perle and other prominent neoconservatives called A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm, issued by an Israeli think tank".

What do Feith, Wolfowitz, Perle and Libby all have in common, aside from their close association with Cheney and Rumsfeld? They are Jewish-Americans. They are seemingly motivated by policy that secures the security and prosperity of Israel, even though support of Israel does nothing apparent to further American influence in the Middle East. They all have risen through the Department of Defense and that department's extravagant budgets that are never completely revealed in magnitude. Wolfowitz is described as the "architect" of the Iraq War as undersecretary for Rumsfeld, a position granted in part due to his draft and subsequent revisions of the Defense Planning Guidance (DPG) from 1992. Wolfowitz's plan was accepted by Cheney, then Secretary of Defense as a compromise between several plans that sought to establish how America should proceed after the collapse of the USSR. Perle and Scooter Libby have their own track records you can read.

The root of the Robert Sheer article, as I see it, is that a very few Jewish-Americans had a most significant involvement in taking the United States of America into a war in Iraq. The greatest threat that Saddam's Iraq posed was the continued threat to Israel. Saddam supported terrorism toward Israel. It is not new news. The first clarion calls from military personnel with Pentagon experience were Anthony Zinni, who warned about making a war in Iraq before it began and Karen Kwiatkowski who published her first article, The New Pentagon Papers in March 2004 that questioned Feith's credentials even then. A reprint of the Kwiatkowski article is located here.

This is not some anti-semitic slander. This is an honest assessment of how involved Jewish-American appointees are in manipulating American power and money toward the benefit of Israel. One would be hard pressed to point out any benefits to the United States. You, the reader, can further assess such notions by reading the article linked below.

Before the Invasion, There Was Feith, by Robert Sheer.
