"I think of war with Iran as the ending of America's present role in the world. Iraq may have been a preview of that, but it's still redeemable if we get out fast. In a war with Iran, we'll get dragged down for 20 or 30 years. The world will condemn us. We will lose our position in the world."

Zbigniew Brzezinski, Vanity Fair, 2006.


One US carrier task force is already in position in the Persian Gulf. Two more task forces are moving swiftly to take up their positions in the Iranian theatre.

The controversial neoconservative American bureaucrat, Richard Perle, visited Britain on the eve of the papal audience between Prime Minister Tony Blair and Pope Benedict XVI. Earlier in the same week, the Iranian Nobel Laureate for Peace, Dr. Shirin Ebadi, was in Britain to voice her concerns about a confrontation between the west and Iran. In London, Metropolitan Police swooped down on two suspected Islamist terrorists believed to be in the process of building a chemical bomb. Summertime tensions are building.

In bland remarks delivered to a small audience of students at the Oxford Union, Richard Perle outlined the Bush administration’s response to the crisis of 9/11 and the neoconservative doctrines of pre-emptive war. In a droning monotone designed to anaesthetize his keen academic audience, Perle explained the need for an invincible American military apparatus and a foreign policy predicated on the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptive war permitting direct and simultaneous interventions into multiple theatres.

While Perle stated his hope that the need for military interventions would be minimal, he left the impression that his definition of excessive use of military power might well differ from that of the average American or European citizen. Perle is on the public record advocating pre-emptive strikes against North Korea, Syria, Iran and a list of other countries. Some of his critics accuse Perle of darkly malignant machinations.

because of his ultra-aggressive stance on using ultra-force--nuclear if necessary--to ensure neocon policy compliance around the world. perle, probably the world’s No. 1 hawk, has been the chief architect of our policy toward the Arab/Islamic world. There is no single American more responsible for inciting outrage among Muslims globally than perle.

worth the read

:thumbsup:

Yeah, Richard... much in the same way kids sing about Lizzie Borden.

(* actual quote from Perle during the run-up to the Iraq War)

US foreign policy?!?

... want to invade Iran, I think they should - ALONE.

Get some flak-jackets, food and water supplies, weapons (as much as they can carry) and hire a private helicopter to drop them at the Iran border.

And whatever happens to them when they get there -- well, good luck guys. I'm sure you'll be as successful as you deserve to be.

is a very sick man, like the rest of the PNAC thugs.

the "Emperor's New Clothes Syndrome" that we see all the time with both the Bush administration and the neocons. Where is the Democratic "Leadership"? When Perle, whom I consider to be a truly evil man, spouts off with stuff like that he ought to IMMEDIATELY be confronted publicly & forcefully by a united front of Pelosi, Reid, Dean, Kennedy, Mrs. Clinton, etal. I know it will never happen but this is yet another reason why the Democrats keep failing.

Just the use of the term 'Iranian theatre' is enough to make your hair stand up.

back in th e'70s and '80's. In 1970 he was wiretapped by the FBI discussing classified information with someone at the Israeli embassy. He received substantial payments from Israeli weapons companies while at the Dept. of Defense. A guy named Jonathan Pollard did about the same thing, passing US defense information to Israel and he was sent to jail for life.

Delusional. Batshit crazy. Fit to give his lectures in a padded cell.

First and foremost, where does he think this so-called "invincible American military apparatus" is going to come from? We're running a $400 billion annual deficit, not including Iraq supplementals, and our current military is stretched to the breaking point-- not just Haditha, think of the Timothy McVeighs of the future-- and he thinks we have some great lost tribe of Green Berets in reserve? Or are they planning to run the Iran war entirely with Custer-Battles mercenaries? Or maybe Halliburton and Lockheed Martin can team up to design some sort of autonomous battlebot equipped with the smartest bombs in the room? (That should be good for some lucrative contracts!)

And even if we had the soldiers and the ordinance, would you trust anyone connected with the Iraq war to plan another campaign? I wouldn't.

assuming the military had such a thing, they probably would last just a couple of days in Iran, before the temperature extremes and the dust clogged up their works...think what difficulty the Mars rovers have had, and they were not trying to move that fast...never mind trying to shoot a weapon...oh, and did we mention rocky mountainous terrain?

Pearle is just plain nuts. Padded room nuts. Backwards-facing jacket nuts.

It is with grave concern that I observe the growing threat of a new U.S. war--this time against the people of Iran.

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.
