I love how Israel sends our kids to do their dirty work and the PNAC is more patriotic towards Israel than the US.

<snippit>

So, nine weeks after the Iraqi people defied the odds and chose a government, and today as the new government has chosen a president, we are pleased to remind our readers that in 1997 Dr. Chalabi came to JINSA and called for a “broad-based popular movement committed to representative government and to the protection of the human rights of all Iraqis (as offering) moral and practical power,” adding, “despite the ethnic and religious complexity of Iraqi society, parties representing all facets are united in this democratic goal.”

We hoped so at and wrote the time, “It is in America’s best interest to support indigenous opposition movements and their... supporters seeking changes in the governing regimes in Baghdad and Tehran.”

Iraq down; Iran left to go.

3. Iraq=tactical pivot, SA=strategic pivot, EGYPT="the prize"

The Men From JINSA and CSP

For example, the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board--chaired by JINSA/CSP adviser and former Reagan Administration Defense Department official Richard Perle, and stacked with advisers from both groups--recently made news by listening to a briefing that cast Saudi Arabia as an enemy to be brought to heel through a number of potential mechanisms, many of which mirror JINSA's recommendations, and which reflect the JINSA/CSP crowd's preoccupation with Egypt. (The final slide of the Defense Policy Board presentation proposed that "Grand Strategy for the Middle East" should concentrate on "Iraq as the tactical pivot, Saudi Arabia as the strategic pivot Egypt as the prize.") Ledeen has been leading the charge for regime change in Iran, while old comrades like Andrew Marshall and Harold Rhode in the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment actively tinker with ways to re-engineer both the Iranian and Saudi governments. JINSA is also cheering the US military on as it tries to secure basing rights in the strategic Red Sea country of Eritrea, happily failing to mention that the once-promising secular regime of President Isaiais Afewerki continues to slide into the kind of repressive authoritarianism practiced by the "axis of evil" and its adjuncts.
