Iraq ☑ Libya ☑ … Syria ☐ Lebanon ☐ Somalia ☐ Sudan ☐ Iran ☐
I’ve repeatedly documented that the Neocons planned regime change in Iraq, Libya, Iran, Syria and a host of other countries right after 9/11 … if not before.
And that Obama is implementing these same plans – just with a “kindler, gentler” face.
Glenn Greenwald provides further documentation that the various Middle Eastern and North African wars were planned before 9/11:
General Wesley Clark … said the aim of this plot [to "destroy the governments in ... Iraq, ... Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran”] was this: “They wanted us to destabilize the Middle East, turn it upside down, make it under our control.” He then recounted a conversation he had had ten years earlier with Paul Wolfowitz — back in 1991 — in which the then-number-3-Pentagon-official, after criticizing Bush 41 for not toppling Saddam, told Clark: “But one thing we did learn [from the Persian Gulf War] is that we can use our military in the region – in the Middle East – and the Soviets won’t stop us. And we’ve got about 5 or 10 years to clean up those old Soviet regimes – Syria, Iran [sic], Iraq – before the next great superpower comes on to challenge us.” Clark said he was shocked by Wolfowitz’s desires because, as Clark put it: “the purpose of the military is to start wars and change governments? It’s not to deter conflicts?”
[I]n the aftermath of military-caused regime change in Iraq and Libya … with concerted regime change efforts now underway aimed at Syria and Iran, with active and escalating proxy fighting in Somalia, with a modest military deployment to South Sudan, and the active use of drones in six — count ‘em: six — different Muslim countries, it is worth asking whether the neocon dream as laid out by Clark is dead or is being actively pursued and fulfilled, albeit with means more subtle and multilateral than full-on military invasions (it’s worth remembering that neocons specialized in dressing up their wars in humanitarian packaging: Saddam’s rape rooms! Gassed his own people!). As Jonathan Schwarz … put it about the supposedly contentious national security factions:
As far as I can tell, there’s barely any difference in goals within the foreign policy establishment. They just disagree on the best methods to achieve the goals. My guess is that everyone agrees we have to continue defending the mideast from outside interference (I love that Hillary line), and the [Democrats] just think that best path is four overt wars and three covert actions, while the neocons want to jump straight to seven wars.
***
The neocon end as Clark reported them — regime change in those seven countries — seems as vibrant as ever. It’s just striking to listen to Clark describe those 7 countries in which the neocons plotted to have regime change back in 2001, and then compare that to what the U.S. Government did and continues to do since then with regard to those precise countries.
Note: The so-called “war on terror” has also weakened our national security and created many more terrorists than it has killed, imprisoned or otherwise stopped. It is also destroying our economy.
In addition to the slow rousing of the general population’s awareness and nascent unity, the other thing we have in our favor is the inherent arrogance of the radical neo-cons (‘Con’ is an interesting and myriad word used in this context). The neo-cons are simply the cunning portion of the elites’ brain at this point. They are too ruthless and barbaric to possess any shred of wisdom and they are also, unfortunately, sociopaths in suits with a lot of money behind them; but like all megalomaniacs they will, hopefully, very hopefully contribute to their own demise (with a big hand from we little people). The curtain has only just begun to rise!
This is a powerful post. I only hope members of the main stream media read it and have pangs of conscience.
A journalist’s job is to report the facts & evidence:
Who is it about?
What happened?
Where did it take place?
When did it take place?
Why did it happen?
How did it happen?
The facts & evidence support the conclusion that the Obama administration foreign policies in many ways are a continuity of the Bush foreign (military) policies.
Do the American People know this? Do the American People support this?
Do journalists have a responsibility to report this?
Pangs of conscience, anyone?
Grow up. The facts are whatever WE say they are. We have the money and the platform and might makes right.
Denny,
Your outstanding above remarks leave no room for further comments !
Just to say that we all wish them all neoCONs to slowly burn in hell.
Thank you, Francisco. Denny
thanks for this!!

Let the Neo0Cons make their plans in order to benefit Israel, but all the hatred and anger is going toward the United States all over the Middle east & Africa .
There it is again. Everything is Israel’s fault even though they get no benefit. IE: Egypt negating the Peace Treaty or blowing up the pipeline or leaving a dangerous porous border etc.
More power being given to murderous anti-semites all across the region. Yup that sounds like Israel’s plan, not their obvious plan to build a vibrant economy and employment to the despotic nations around them. These nations could of course build their own economies but spend their money attacking Israel.
Israel’s biggest threat to these nations is the existence of Individual Rights. Citizenship for those of other faiths. Human Rights for Women. All lacking in those countries which hate America and Israel for showing them up as what they are.
The brotherhood was established to destroy America, Israel and Britain. They will continue on their path no matter what our actions are and they will be particularly outraged at acts of self defense.
Hasbara troll will troll.
You ass. Spare us the ‘Israel is the only democracy in ME’ bullcrap. Its a brutal dictatorship whose puprose was and is to be the HQ eventual world govt. The only mystery about this filth of a tribe is how have they seduced those in power for so long to do their bidding? How do they get dumb fxxxs to forfeit their own interests to them- at the expense of their own? Just dont get it.
Rhodes Scholar, Gen. Wes Clark was told the plans in 2001, 1997, 1991. Gen Albert Pike stated the plans in 1871 “WWI will build up the Nazi Empire. WWII will exchange the Nazis for Communists. WWIII will pit forces of political Zionism in Israel against Islam until people obliged to fight to the point of physical, moral and economic exhaustion will accept the true light of Lucifer” wwwTheresnothingnew.org/
You liberals! You positively ooze moral vanity.
glad I’m not one!
