Anthrax Attacks Linked to CIA and Drug Industry?
The anthrax was released by a US insider as part of a covert plan to restrict civil liberties, increase pharmaceutical profits and fulfil military and political objectives, so claims Harvard-trained health expert, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz. Nick Papadimitriou reports.
Biotech companies are in league with the CIA and the US military, Horowitz alleges in a series of press releases, and he has challenged FBI director Robert Mueller to investigate those whom he considers to be the prime suspects. Two corporations, Bioport, the main beneficiaries of the US’ decision to invest in anthrax treatments, and Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI) are implicated. In 1998, Bioport won a contract worth $29m to make anthrax vaccine for the US Department of Defence. During the recent spate of mailings, the US government offered the vaccine to those exposed. This vaccine had not been approved.
Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr., the signatory of the contract on behalf of the military subsequently received 22.5% of Bioport’s stock.
Further, The Carlyle Group, US’ 11th leading defence contractors, are major shareholders of Bioport. Carlyle Group personnel include ex CIA director, Frank Carlucci, ex Prime Minister of UK, John Major, and, Horowitz claims, George HW Bush. (The Carlyle Group web-site listed the first two mentioned as key members, but there was no mention of the former US president.)
Horowitz points the finger at BMI as likely producers of the weapons grade anthrax used in the attacks. BMI directs the US government’s "Joint Vaccine Acquisition Programme" and has been awarded vaccine contracts worth more than $1bn. They were partnered with Bioport as the US’ sole anthrax vaccine producers. However it is possible that it wasn’t just anthrax vaccine that they were producing. The Washington Post reported last December that the anthrax in the attacks matched that used by the US army. DNA genetic fingerprinting of the spores indicated they were identical to those maintained by both the US Army at its Dugway proving grounds in Utah and to samples of anthrax stored at Porton Down, UK, the British government’s bioweapons research facility.
Horowitz cites an "anonymous pentagon official," quoted in a September 2001 article issued by Associated Press, as referring to "Operation Jefferson," in which "a new and highly lethal strain of anthrax" had been developed. BMI owns laboratories in West Jefferson. At about this time, BMI hired an anthrax expert, William C. Patrick III, to investigate the implications of mailing powdered anthrax through the post.

Horowitz also focuses on another group of potential beneficiaries of the anthrax attacks. These are also providers of bioweapon treatments. Bayer, who produce Cipro, the antibiotic used in the fight against anthrax and Acambis (formally OraVax and partnered with Aventis). Both companies were formed after World War II out of the German firm IG Farben, producer of cyanic toxin zyklon B, used in the Nazi gas chambers. The CIA, it is claimed, played a crucial role in the decartelisation of Farben, mainly because Allen Dulles, CIA’s first director was on the payroll of the Rockefellers’ who owned 50% of the Farben cartel. And at the time of Farben’s dissolution, its "flight capital" was handled, with CIA knowledge, by mainly American, Swiss and British banks.
Bayer did well out of anthrax and, on some readings, was rescued from virtual bankruptcy by the attacks. The government struck a deal with Bayer whereby the company agreed to reduce the cost of its tablets from more than four dollars to $0.9 each, still a long way above the cheapest. Acambis, alongside Aventis, is contracted to produce the US’ smallpox vaccine. The contract is worth approximately $343m for 40 million doses. In the wake of the anthrax attacks, calls were made to ask congress for another $500m to purchase enough vaccine for the US population.
The Emergency Preparedness Task Force, US’ standing advisory committee for bioweapons attack, is teeming with members of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).

Operation Mockingbird: CIA Media Manipulation
By Mary Louise
The CIA's secret activities, covert missions, and connections of control are all done under the pretense and protection of national security with no accountability whatsoever, at least in their minds. Considering the public is held accountable for everything we think, say, and do there is something seriously wrong with this picture. The CIA is the President's secret army, who have been and continue to be conveniently above the law with unlimited power and authority, to conduct a reign of terror around the globe.
The "old boy network" of socializing, talking shop, and tapping each other for favors outside the halls of government made it inevitable that the CIA and Corporate America would become allies, thus the systematic infiltration and takeover of the media.
Under the guise of 'American' objectives and lack of congressional oversight, the CIA accomplish their exploits by using every trick in the book (and they know quite a few) that they actually teach in the notorious "School of the Americas", nicknamed the "School of Dictators" and "School of Assassins" by critics. The Association for Responsible Dissent estimates that 6 million people had died by 1987 as a result of CIA covert operations, called an "American Holocaust" by former State Department official William Blum. In 1948, the CIA recreated its covert action wing called the Office of Policy Coordination with Wall Street lawyer Frank Wisner as its first director. Another early elitist who served as Director of the CIA from 1953 to 1961 was Allen Dulles, a senior partner at the Wall Street firm of Sullivan and Cromwell, which represented the Rockefeller empire and other trusts, corporations, and cartels.
Starting in the early days of the Cold War (late 40's), the CIA began a secret project called Operation Mockingbird, with the intent of buying influence behind the scenes at major media outlets and putting reporters on the CIA payroll, which has proven to be a stunning ongoing success. The CIA effort to recruit American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda, was headed up by Frank Wisner, Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, and Philip Graham (publisher of The Washington Post). Wisner had taken Graham under his wing to direct the program code-named Operation Mockingbird and both have presumably committed suicide.
Media assets will eventually include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International (UPI), Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service, etc. and 400 journalists, who have secretly carried out assignments according to documents on file at CIA headquarters, from intelligence-gathering to serving as go-betweens. The CIA had infiltrated the nation's businesses, media, and universities with tens of thousands of on-call operatives by the 1950's. CIA Director Dulles had staffed the CIA almost exclusively with Ivy League graduates, especially from Yale with figures like George Herbert Walker Bush from the "Skull and Crossbones" Society.
Many Americans still insist or persist in believing that we have a free press, while getting most of their news from state-controlled television, under the misconception that reporters are meant to serve the public. Reporters are paid employees and serve the media owners, who usually cower when challenged by advertisers or major government figures. Robert Parry reported the first breaking stories about Iran-Contra for Associated Press that were largely ignored by the press and congress, then moving to Newsweek he witnessed a retraction of a true story for political reasons. In 'Fooling America: A Talk by Robert Parry' he said, "The people who succeeded and did well were those who didn't stand up, who didn't write the big stories, who looked the other way when history was happening in front of them, and went along either consciously or just by cowardice with the deception of the American people."
Major networks are primarily controlled by giant corporations that are obligated by law, to put the profits of their investors ahead of all other considerations which are often in conflict with the practice of responsible journalism. There were around 50 corporations a couple of decades ago, which was considered monopolistic by many and yet today, these companies have become larger and fewer in number as the biggest ones absorb their rivals. This concentration of ownership and power reduces the diversity of media voices, as news falls into the hands of large conglomerates with holdings in many industries that interferes in newsgathering, because of conflicts of interest. Mockingbird was an immense financial undertaking with funds flowing from the CIA largely through the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) founded by Tom Braden with Pat Buchanon of CNN's Crossfire.
Media corporations share members of the board of directors with a variety of other large corporations including banks, investment companies, oil companies, health care, pharmaceutical, and technology companies. Until the 1980's, media systems were generally domestically owned, regulated, and national in scope. However, pressure from the IMF, World Bank, and US government to deregulate and privatize, the media, communication, and new technology resulted in a global commercial media system dominated by a small number of super-powerful transnational media corporations (mostly US based), working to advance the cause of global markets and the CIA agenda.
The first tier of the nine giant firms that dominate the world are Time Warner/AOL, Disney/ABC, Bertelsmann, Viacom/CBS, Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation/Fox, General Electric/NBC, Sony, Universal/Seagram, Tele-Communications, Inc. or TCI and AT&T. This is just the head of the octopus which has its second and third tier tentacles working together in unison or feigned division. This would include The Washington Post/Newsweek, The New York Times/Weekly Standard, Tribune Co., US News, Gannett/USA Today, Dow Jones/Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, Knight-Ridder, etcetera. A good site to visit for more information is Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, a public interest media watchdog group, at www.fair.org/index.html , www.fair.org/mediafiles/index.html and www.fair.org/extra/9711/gmg.html . Media propaganda tactics include blackouts, misdirections, expert opinions to echo the Establishment line, smears, defining popular opinions, mass entertainment distractions, and Hobson's Choice (the media presents the so-called conservative and liberal positions).
"Who Controls the Media? The Subversion of the Free Press by the CIA, The Depraved Spies and Moguls of the CIA's Operation Mockingbird", "The CIA: America's Premier International Terrorist Organization", and "Virtual Government: CIA Mind Control Operations in America" by Alex Constantine are an excellent source of information on this topic: www.alexconstantine.50megs.com/the_cia_and.html and www.alexconstantine.50megs.com . David Guyatt has written books and many articles including one entitled "Subverting the Media" at www.deepblacklies.co.uk/subverting_the_media.htm . Then there are two articles called "A Timeline of CIA Atrocities" and "The Origins of the Overclass" by Steve Kangas that are very informative although from a more liberal perspective. Steve will not be writing anymore articles as he is no longer with us, having unfortunately met his untimely death that was 'apparently' from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. If you read about him on his web page that is still available, you will see that he did not seem like a person who was suffering from deep depression. In his memory, please take the time to read what he wrote at www.korpios.org/resurgent/CIAtimeline.html , www.korpios.org/resurgent/CIAtimeline.html , and www.korpios.org/resurgent/index.html .
CNN aired "Valley of Death" in June of 1998 and Time magazine (both owned by Time-Warner) ran a story about a secret mission called Operation Tailwind and the activities of SOG, Studies and Observations Group, a secret elite commando unit of the Army's Special Forces that used lethal nerve gas (sarin), on a mission to Laos designed to kill American defectors. Suddenly the network was awash in denials and the story was hushed up, as usual. Acknowledged use of this gas coming at a time when the U.S. government was trying to get Saddam to comply with weapons inspections, was an embarrassment to say the least. What hypocrisy! Having actually used the weapons on our own troops, then complaining and accusing Saddam of potential use of stored similar weapons, of which some were manufactured in and supplied by the U.S. The broadcast was prepared after exhaustive research and rooted in considerable supportive data. To decide for yourself what the truth is read Floyd Abrams' report on the CNN site at www.cnn.com/US/9807/02/tailwind.findings/index.html.
Journalists Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward broke the stories on Watergate (late 70's) in the Washington Post, having gained access to what the CIA was trying to keep from congress about its program of using journalists at home and abroad, in deliberate propaganda campaigns. It was later revealed that Woodward was a Naval intelligence briefer to the White House and knew many insiders including General Alexander Haig. A high-level source told Bernstein, "One journalist is worth twenty agents."
CFR/Trilateralist Katharine Graham, in a 1988 speech given to senior CIA employees at Agency headquarters said, "We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows." Maybe that's another reason why folks get the impression that a suspicious agenda lurks behind the headlines. "25 Ways to Suppress Truth: Rules of Disinformation" and "8 Traits of the Disinformationalist" at www.proparanoid.com/truth.htm , sums it up very well.
Ralph McGehee was a CIA agent for 25 years, mainly in South-East Asia where he witnessed bombing and napalming of villages, which caused him to examine closely what the CIA was really all about. He has written about Vietnam's Phoenix Program www.vwip.org/articles/m/McGeheeRalph_VietnamsPhoenixProgram.htm and after a long battle with CIA censors, he published the book "Deadly Deceits" in 1983. Ralph has been harassed by the CIA and FBI, involving bodily injury, and his CIABASE website was shut down on Spring of 2000. He copied some reports that can be found at http://serendipity.magnet.ch/cia/ciabase_report_1.htm (and 2.htm), http://serendipity.magnet.ch/cia/death_squads.htm , and www.thirdworldtraveler.com/CIA/Deadly_Deceits.html. He concluded that the CIA is not now nor has it ever been a central intelligence agency but rather the covert action arm of the President's foreign policy advisors, of which disinformation is a large part of its responsibility and the American people are the primary target of its lies.
One of the primary reasons John F. Kennedy was assassinated had to do with the fact he dared to interfere in the framework of power. Kennedy was intent on exercising his ELECTED powers and not allowing them to be usurped by power-crazed individuals in the intelligence community, threatening to "splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the wind." There were four things that filled the CIA with rage and sealed his fate; JFK fired Allen Dulles, was in the process of founding a panel to investigate the CIA's numerous crimes, put a damper on the breadth and scope of the CIA, and limited their ability to act under National Security Memoranda 55.
There is such an overwhelming amount of information pertaining to the CIA that it is impossible to cover it all in one book, much less an article. Personally, I have come to the conclusion that the media is not only influenced by the CIA.....the media is the CIA. Many Americans think of their supposedly free press as a watchdog on government, mainly because the press itself shamelessly promotes that myth. One of the first tenets for the control of a population is to control all sources of information the population receives and mostly because of the pervasive CIA and Operation Mockingbird, the mainstream American Press is a controlled multi-national corporate/government megaphone. They are up to their eyeballs in dirty deeds and there will never be an end to the corruption that prevails unless the CIA is abolished. Otherwise, the CIA will just keep on using their tricks of propaganda, stuffed ballot boxes, purchased elections, extortion, blackmail, drug trafficking, sexual intrigue, kidnapping, beating, torture, intimidation, economic sabotage, false stories about opponents in the local media, infiltration and disruption of opposing political parties, demolition and evacuation procedures, death squads, and politically motivated assassinations. The CIA is the epitome of organized crime run amuck!

"When it comes to intelligence, the only thing worse than the FBI’s record is the CIA’s.
Given all that’s happened, the only explanation for the Bush domestic spying is that it’s political.
There are no crimes involved here. But there is an overweaning desire by this so-called conservative
government to establish and institutionalize a Big Brother regime that tolerates no dissent and
wrecks constitutional government. "
Subject :coup against the Constitution Date:Mon, Jan 02, 2006 09:08 PM
=Mondo WashingtonThe Bush Family CoupSon revisits the sins of the father on Americaby James
RidgewayDecember 30th, 2005 2:26 PM
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The 9-11 attacks provided the rationale for what amounts to a Bush family
coup against the Constitution. From the outset, President George Bush used 9-11 to reorganize
the federal government and increase its reach far beyond any existing law to delve into the
lives of innocent, ordinary people. The new powers allowed the government to arrest them at
will and to subject them to endless incarceration without judicial review. Some people were
sent abroad to be tortured for crimes they had nothing to do with. Who knows how many people
have been tortured in American jails? When government employees within the intelligence
community sought to protest, the government fired them and made sure they could never get
another job in their areas of expertise. This extraordinary program of spying on Americans,
much of which was carried out in fishing expeditions under the Patriot Act, has the makings
of a consistent and long-range policy to wreck constitutional government. It is little wonder
both left and right have come together to fight Bush and may yet jettison the Patriot Act.
Revelations of the domestic spy operation, with its secret wiretaps, ought to supply sufficient
evidence to impeach Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and launch criminal prosecutions of
the top federal officials involved in carrying out the program. After all, these people are
directly engaged in overthrowing constitutional government. How did this all come about?
GET THE COMMIES In opening a conference on counterintelligence in March 2005, former president
George H.W. Bush, who headed the CIA from 1975 to 1977, said, “It burns me up to see the
agency under fire.” Recent criticism, Bush said, reminded him of the 1970s, when Congress
“unleashed a bunch of untutored little jerks out there” to investigate the CIA’s involvement
in domestic spying, assassinations, and other illegal activities, and subsequently passed
laws to prevent abuses. Bush was referring to the activities of the U.S. Senate’s Select
Committee to Study Governmental Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities, commonly
known as the Church Committee after its chair, Idaho Democratic senator Frank Church.
Among other things, the committee’s 1976 report detailed the workings of the infamous
COINTELPRO, an FBI domestic spying program on Civil Rights leaders, anti-war groups,
and anyone else who rubbed J. Edgar Hoover the wrong way. The report also detailed illegal
domestic activities by the CIA and military intelligence. A simultaneous—and even more
contentious—investigation was carried out in the House by the Select Committee on Intelligence,
which also came to bear the name of it chair, New York Democratic congressman Otis Pike.
The Pike Report focused on the CIA covert actions, as well as on the CIA’s overall
effectiveness and its budget. Within days of the 9-11 attacks, officials of Bush the
younger’s administration and former intelligence chiefs were on the talk shows denouncing
the “chilling effect” of the congressional investigations of the 1970s, and of subsequent
halfhearted efforts to regulate the work of the intelligence agencies. Paul Bremer, the
future head of the Iraq occupation, who had chaired the National Commission on Terrorism
from 1998 to 2000, said on CNN that the Church Committee did “a lot of damage to our
intelligence services. . . . And the more recent problem was that the previous administration
put into effect guidelines which restricted the ability of CIA agents to go after . . .
terrorist spies.” Congress lost no time in repealing these rather toothless earlier
guidelines, along with a host of other restrictions, especially those safeguarding the
privacy of electronic communications. The Senate passed the Combating Terrorism Act
of 2001 on September 13, one of its first actions in response to the attacks. Between
1960 and 1974, the FBI conducted half a million investigations of so-called subversives,
without a single conviction, and maintained files on well over a million Americans. The
FBI tapped phones, opened mail, planted bugs, and burglarized homes and offices. At
least 26,000 individuals were at one point catalogued on an FBI list of persons to be
rounded up in the event of a “national emergency.” Hoover was particularly obsessed
with Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, which he thought was influenced
by communists. The FBI proceeded to undermine the civil rights movement, planting
agents among the Freedom Riders (and also the Ku Klux Klan). Hoover put spies into
the ranks of labor activists and of Democratic Party insurgents during the 1964
presidential campaign. Meanwhile, the CIA began spying domestically. The Agency
planted informants of its own within the United States, especially on college campuses.
Between 1953 and 1973, they opened and photographed nearly a quarter of a million first-
class letters, producing an index of nearly 1.5 million names. Under something called
Operation CHAOS, separate files were created on approximately 7,200 Americans and over
100 domestic groups. In 1964, the CIA even created a secret arm called the Domestic
Operations Division, the very name of which flew in the face of its legal charter. Back
then, there were no “communications problems” between the two agencies. RAISE THE WALL
In documenting all this, the Church Committee concluded the intelligence community had
engaged in actions “which had no conceivable rational relationship to either national
security or violent activity.” The report of the House’s Pike Committee documented a
history of CIA covert actions, as well as notable intelligence failures. As a result the
CIA got out of domestic spying and the FBI supposedly pulled back from its orgy of
homeland snooping. Some rather modest oversight was applied, the most important of which
led to the creation of the “the wall.” This refers to application of the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). FISA was enacted in 1978, in the wake of the
congressional investigations, as a compromise that would allow the FBI and other domestic
law enforcement to carry out counterintelligence operations while putting some sort of
restraints on COINTELPRO-type abuses. Under FISA, the FBI could continue to do things
like conduct searches and tap phones without traditional search warrants and without
probable cause, as long as agents were targeting terrorists, spies, or other purported
enemies of the United States, and as long as they got permission from a secret FISA court.
There was concern from the start that FISA would be used to circumvent the Fourth
Amendment in routine criminal cases. So FISA dictated that these warrantless searches
and surveillance could be conducted only for counterintelligence purposes, and not for
regular criminal investigations. However, if a FISA search happened to turn up evidence
of a crime, this information could be handed over to law enforcement. According to a
joint inquiry conducted in 2002 by the Senate and House Select Committees on Intelligence,
“the Intelligence Community agencies, perhaps overly ‘risk-averse’ in dealing with FISA-
related matters, restricted the use of information far beyond what was required. The
majority of FBI personnel interviewed . . . incorrectly believed that the FBI could not
share FISA-derived information with criminal investigators at all or that an impossibly
high standard had to be met before the information could be shared. Most did not know [it]
could be shared with criminal investigators if it was simply relevant to the criminal
investigation.” And anyway, the FBI never stopped its domestic spying. During the ’80s
and ’90s the FBI spied on and/or infiltrated peace and solidarity groups engaged in
protesting U.S. involvement in the wars of Central America, put agents into Earth First,
and went after the far right, again trying to plant agents and turn participants into
informants. The shooting at Ruby Ridge and the raid in Waco galvanized not just the
right but the heartland against the Bureau. At Ruby Ridge, it was an FBI sniper killing
a mother with a baby in her arms. At Waco it was a monstrous assault on a religious
enclave. And the Bureau’s handling of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995—with botched
lab work and lost documents—to this day fuels the controversy over the government’s
the gang that conducted the bombing. The informant told her superior, who sat on the
information until long after the bombing. INSTALL BIG BROTHERThe failures of the FBI
and CIA in 9-11 were not because of any wall. These agencies failed because they weren’t
doing their jobs right. The congressional investigation found the CIA couldn’t penetrate
al Qaeda—an especially odd claim since we had helped to create and finance al Qaeda as
an instrument to win the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s. John Walker
Lindh and other Americans walked right into al Qaeda and were greeted by its high officials.
How come the CIA couldn’t do the same? No wall kept the CIA from getting Osama bin Laden.
They just couldn’t find him. As for how the hijackers got into the U.S., it’s hardly a
mystery. An FBI informant among the Muslim community in San Diego socialized with two
hijackers and rented a room to one of them. When Congress tried to figure out how this
happened, the Bureau covered it up, refusing to allow the informant to testify. Again,
there was no wall here—just plain incompetence made worse by a deliberate cover-up. The
FBI reportedly was informed in April 2001 by a longtime reliable asset of an impending
attack using airliners as missiles. It did nothing. An operation known as Able Danger
reportedly turned up information on and tracked hijacker Mohammad Atta as far back as 1998,
but the Pentagon wouldn’t tell the FBI what it knew. Even now, the Bush administration is
fighting to prevent the Able Danger officials from testifying before Congress about what
they knew and when they knew it. When it comes to intelligence, the only thing worse than
the FBI’s record is the CIA’s. Given all that’s happened, the only explanation for the Bush
domestic spying is that it’s political. There are no crimes involved here. But there is
an overweaning desire by this so-called conservative government to establish and
institutionalize a Big Brother regime that tolerates no dissent and wrecks constitutional
government.

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword.
It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has'closed',the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer
up all their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. AND I AM CAESAR."

Most notably and most horribly Saddam used chemical and biological warfare against troops during the 1991 Gulf War.
Iraq still has a vast stock of NBC weaponry and repeatedly has avoided UNSCOM checks after the war.

Published on Monday, December 30, 2002 by the Washington Post U.S. Had Key Role in Iraq Buildup Trade in Chemical Arms Allowed Despite Their Use on Iranians, Kurds by Michael Dobbs
|

High on the Bush administration's list of justifications for war against Iraq are President Saddam Hussein's use of chemical weapons, nuclear and biological programs, and his contacts with international terrorists. What U.S. officials rarely acknowledge is that these offenses date back to a period when Hussein was seen in Washington as a valued ally.
Among the people instrumental in tilting U.S. policy toward Baghdad during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war was Donald H. Rumsfeld, now defense secretary, whose December 1983 meeting with Hussein as a special presidential envoy paved the way for normalization of U.S.-Iraqi relations. Declassified documents show that Rumsfeld traveled to Baghdad at a time when Iraq was using chemical weapons on an "almost daily" basis in defiance of international conventions.
The story of U.S. involvement with Saddam Hussein in the years before his 1990 attack on Kuwait -- which included large-scale intelligence sharing, supply of cluster bombs through a Chilean front company, and facilitating Iraq's acquisition of chemical and biological precursors -- is a topical example of the underside of U.S. foreign policy. It is a world in which deals can be struck with dictators, human rights violations sometimes overlooked, and accommodations made with arms proliferators, all on the principle that the "enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Throughout the 1980s, Hussein's Iraq was the sworn enemy of Iran, then still in the throes of an Islamic revolution. U.S. officials saw Baghdad as a bulwark against militant Shiite extremism and the fall of pro-American states such as Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and even Jordan -- a Middle East version of the "domino theory" in Southeast Asia. That was enough to turn Hussein into a strategic partner and for U.S. diplomats in Baghdad to routinely refer to Iraqi forces as "the good guys," in contrast to the Iranians, who were depicted as "the bad guys."
A review of thousands of declassified government documents and interviews with former policymakers shows that U.S. intelligence and logistical support played a crucial role in shoring up Iraqi defenses against the "human wave" attacks by suicidal Iranian troops. The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague.
Opinions differ among Middle East experts and former government officials about the pre-Iraqi tilt, and whether Washington could have done more to stop the flow to Baghdad of technology for building weapons of mass destruction.
"It was a horrible mistake then, but we have got it right now," says Kenneth M. Pollack, a former CIA military analyst and author of "The Threatening Storm," which makes the case for war with Iraq.
"My fellow [CIA] analysts and I were warning at the time that Hussein was a very nasty character. We were constantly fighting the State Department."
"Fundamentally, the policy was justified," argues David Newton, a former U.S. ambassador to Baghdad, who runs an anti-Hussein radio station in Prague. "We were concerned that Iraq should not
lose the war with Iran, because that would have threatened Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Our long-term hope was that Hussein's government would become less repressive and more responsible."
What makes present-day Hussein different from the Hussein of the 1980s, say Middle East experts, is the mellowing of the Iranian revolution and the August 1990 invasion of Kuwait that transformed
the Iraqi dictator, almost overnight, from awkward ally into mortal enemy. In addition, the United States itself has changed. As a result of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, U.S. policymakers take a much more alarmist view of the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
U.S. Shifts in Iran-Iraq War
When the Iran-Iraq war began in September 1980, with an Iraqi attack across the Shatt al Arab waterway that leads to the Persian Gulf, the United States was a bystander. The United States did not
have diplomatic relations with either Baghdad or Tehran. U.S. officials had almost as little sympathy for Hussein's dictatorial brand of Arab nationalism as for the Islamic fundamentalism espoused by
Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. As long as the two countries fought their way to a stalemate, nobody in Washington was disposed to intervene.
By the summer of 1982, however, the strategic picture had changed dramatically. After its initial gains, Iraq was on the defensive, and Iranian troops had advanced to within a few miles of Basra, Iraq's
second largest city. U.S. intelligence information suggested the Iranians might achieve a breakthrough on the Basra front, destabilizing Kuwait, the Gulf states, and even Saudi Arabia, thereby threatening U.S. oil supplies.
"You have to understand the geostrategic context, which was very different from where we are now," said Howard Teicher, a former National Security Council official, who worked on Iraqi policy during
the Reagan administration. "Realpolitik dictated that we act to prevent the situation from getting worse."
To prevent an Iraqi collapse, the Reagan administration supplied battlefield intelligence on Iranian troop buildups to the Iraqis, sometimes through third parties such as Saudi Arabia. The U.S. tilt toward
Iraq was enshrined in National Security Decision Directive 114 of Nov. 26, 1983, one of the few important Reagan era foreign policy decisions that still remains classified. According to former U.S.
officials, the directive stated that the United States would do "whatever was necessary and legal" to prevent Iraq from losing the war with Iran.
The presidential directive was issued amid a flurry of reports that Iraqi forces were using chemical weapons in their attempts to hold back the Iranians. In principle, Washington was strongly opposed
to chemical warfare, a practice outlawed by the 1925 Geneva Protocol. In practice, U.S. condemnation of Iraqi use of chemical weapons ranked relatively low on the scale of administration priorities, particularly compared with the all-important goal of preventing an Iranian victory.
Thus, on Nov. 1, 1983, a senior State Department official, Jonathan T. Howe, told Secretary of State George P. Shultz that intelligence reports showed that Iraqi troops were resorting to "almost daily
use of CW" against the Iranians. But the Reagan administration had already committed itself to a large-scale diplomatic and political overture to Baghdad, culminating in several visits by the president's recently appointed special envoy to the Middle East, Donald H. Rumsfeld.
Secret talking points prepared for the first Rumsfeld visit to Baghdad enshrined some of the language from NSDD 114, including the statement that the United States would regard "any major reversal
of Iraq's fortunes as a strategic defeat for the West." When Rumsfeld finally met with Hussein on Dec. 20, he told the Iraqi leader that Washington was ready for a resumption of full diplomatic relations, according to a State Department report of the conversation. Iraqi leaders later described themselves as "extremely pleased" with the Rumsfeld visit, which had "elevated U.S.-Iraqi relations to a new level."
In a September interview with CNN, Rumsfeld said he "cautioned" Hussein about the use of chemical weapons, a claim at odds with declassified State Department notes of his 90-minute meeting with
the Iraqi leader. A Pentagon spokesman, Brian Whitman, now says that Rumsfeld raised the issue not with Hussein, but with Iraqi foreign minister Tariq Aziz. The State Department notes show that he mentioned it largely in passing as one of several matters that "inhibited" U.S. efforts to assist Iraq.
Rumsfeld has also said he had "nothing to do" with helping Iraq in its war against Iran. Although former U.S. officials agree that Rumsfeld was not one of the architects of the Reagan administration's tilt
toward Iraq -- he was a private citizen when he was appointed Middle East envoy -- the documents show that his visits to Baghdad led to closer U.S.-Iraqi cooperation on a wide variety of fronts.
Washington was willing to resume diplomatic relations immediately, but Hussein insisted on delaying such a step until the following year.
As part of its opening to Baghdad, the Reagan administration removed Iraq from the State Department terrorism list in February 1982, despite heated objections from Congress. Without such a move,
Teicher says, it would have been "impossible to take even the modest steps we were contemplating" to channel assistance to Baghdad. Iraq -- along with Syria, Libya and South Yemen -- was one of
four original countries on the list, which was first drawn up in 1979.
Some former U.S. officials say that removing Iraq from the terrorism list provided an incentive to Hussein to expel the Palestinian guerrilla leader Abu Nidal from Baghdad in 1983. On the other hand, Iraq continued to play host to alleged terrorists throughout the '80s. The most notable was Abu Abbas, leader of the Palestine Liberation Front, who found refuge in Baghdad after being expelled from Tunis for masterminding the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro, which resulted in the killing of an elderly American tourist.
Iraq Lobbies for Arms
While Rumsfeld was talking to Hussein and Aziz in Baghdad, Iraqi diplomats and weapons merchants were fanning out across Western capitals for a diplomatic charm offensive-cum-arms buying spree.
In Washington, the key figure was the Iraqi chargé d'affaires, Nizar Hamdoon, a fluent English speaker who impressed Reagan administration officials as one of the most skillful lobbyists in town.
"He arrived with a blue shirt and a white tie, straight out of the mafia," recalled Geoffrey Kemp, a Middle East specialist in the Reagan White House. "Within six months, he was hosting suave dinner
parties at his residence, which he parlayed into a formidable lobbying effort. He was particularly effective with the American Jewish community."
One of Hamdoon's favorite props, says Kemp, was a green Islamic scarf allegedly found on the body of an Iranian soldier. The scarf was decorated with a map of the Middle East showing a series of
arrows pointing toward Jerusalem. Hamdoon used to "parade the scarf" to conferences and congressional hearings as proof that an Iranian victory over Iraq would result in "Israel becoming a victim
along with the Arabs."
According to a sworn court affidavit prepared by Teicher in 1995, the United States "actively supported the Iraqi war effort by supplying the Iraqis with billions of dollars of credits, by providing military intelligence and advice to the Iraqis, and by closely monitoring third country arms sales to Iraq to make sure Iraq had the military weaponry required." Teicher said in the affidavit that former CIA director
William Casey used a Chilean company, Cardoen, to supply Iraq with cluster bombs that could be used to disrupt the Iranian human wave attacks. Teicher refuses to discuss the affidavit.
At the same time the Reagan administration was facilitating the supply of weapons and military components to Baghdad, it was attempting to cut off supplies to Iran under "Operation Staunch." Those
efforts were largely successful, despite the glaring anomaly of the 1986 Iran-contra scandal when the White House publicly admitted trading arms for hostages, in violation of the policy that the United
States was trying to impose on the rest of the world.
Although U.S. arms manufacturers were not as deeply involved as German or British companies in selling weaponry to Iraq, the Reagan administration effectively turned a blind eye to the export of
"dual use" items such as chemical precursors and steel tubes that can have military and civilian applications. According to several former officials, the State and Commerce departments promoted
trade in such items as a way to boost U.S. exports and acquire political leverage over Hussein.
When United Nations weapons inspectors were allowed into Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War, they compiled long lists of chemicals, missile components, and computers from American suppliers, including
such household names as Union Carbide and Honeywell, which were being used for military purposes.
A 1994 investigation by the Senate Banking Committee turned up dozens of biological agents shipped to Iraq during the mid-'80s under license from the Commerce Department, including various
strains of anthrax, subsequently identified by the Pentagon as a key component of the Iraqi biological warfare program. The Commerce Department also approved the export of insecticides to Iraq,
despite widespread suspicions that they were being used for chemical warfare.
The fact that Iraq was using chemical weapons was hardly a secret. In February 1984, an Iraqi military spokesman effectively acknowledged their use by issuing a chilling warning to Iran. "The
invaders should know that for every harmful insect, there is an insecticide capable of annihilating it . . . and Iraq possesses this annihilation insecticide."
Chemicals Kill Kurds
In late 1987, the Iraqi air force began using chemical agents against Kurdish resistance forces in northern Iraq that had formed a loose alliance
with Iran, according to State Department reports. The attacks, which were part of a "scorched earth" strategy to eliminate rebel-controlled villages, provoked outrage on Capitol Hill and renewed demands for sanctions against Iraq. The State Department and White House were also outraged --
but not to the point of doing anything that might seriously damage relations with Baghdad.
"The U.S.-Iraqi relationship is . . . important to our long-term political and economic objectives," Assistant Secretary of State Richard W. Murphy wrote in a September 1988 memorandum that
addressed the chemical weapons question. "We believe that economic sanctions will be useless or counterproductive to influence the Iraqis."
Bush administration spokesmen have cited Hussein's use of chemical weapons "against his own people" -- and particularly the March 1988 attack on the Kurdish village of Halabjah -- to bolster
their argument that his regime presents a "grave and gathering danger" to the United States.
The Iraqis continued to use chemical weapons against the Iranians until the end of the Iran-Iraq war. A U.S. air force intelligence officer, Rick Francona, reported finding widespread use of Iraqi nerve
gas when he toured the Al Faw peninsula in southern Iraq in the summer of 1988, after its recapture by the Iraqi army. The battlefield was littered with atropine injectors used by panicky Iranian
troops as an antidote against Iraqi nerve gas attacks.
Far from declining, the supply of U.S. military intelligence to Iraq actually expanded in 1988, according to a 1999 book by Francona, "Ally to Adversary: an Eyewitness Account of Iraq's Fall from
Grace." Informed sources said much of the battlefield intelligence was channeled to the Iraqis by the CIA office in Baghdad.
Although U.S. export controls to Iraq were tightened up in the late 1980s, there were still many loopholes. In December 1988, Dow Chemical sold $1.5 million of pesticides to Iraq, despite U.S.
government concerns that they could be used as chemical warfare agents. An Export-Import Bank official reported in a memorandum that he could find "no reason" to stop the sale, despite evidence
that the pesticides were "highly toxic" to humans and would cause death "from asphyxiation."
The U.S. policy of cultivating Hussein as a moderate and reasonable Arab leader continued right up until he invaded Kuwait in August 1990, documents show. When the then-U.S. ambassador to
Baghdad, April Glaspie, met with Hussein on July 25, 1990, a week before the Iraqi attack on Kuwait, she assured him that Bush "wanted better and deeper relations," according to an Iraqi
transcript of the conversation. "President Bush is an intelligent man," the ambassador told Hussein, referring to the father of the current president. "He is not going to declare an economic war
against Iraq."
"Everybody was wrong in their assessment of Saddam," said Joe Wilson, Glaspie's former deputy at the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, and the last U.S. official to meet with Hussein. "Everybody
in the Arab world told us that the best way to deal with Saddam was to develop a set of economic and commercial relationships that would have the effect of moderating his behavior. History
will demonstrate that this was a miscalculation."

Danger Room:
T]he most worrisome news to come out the diplo doc dump is that North Korea secretly gave Iran 19 powerful missiles with a range of 2,000 miles. The missiles, known as the BM-25, are modified from Russian R-27s, which were submarine-based missiles carrying nuclear weapons. “If fired from Iran,” the New York Times notes, a missile with that range could “let its warheads reach targets as far away as Western Europe, including Berlin.” The BM-25, unveiled in a North Korean military parade last month, may be North Korea’s longest-range missile yet. Ares’ David A. Fulgham observed that its design “is showing second-stage and nose-cone design characteristics associated with Iran’s Shahab 3 missile,” indicating growing missile ties between the two rogue states.
No wonder why European leaders are suddenly so keen on missile defense.

Shehab-3 test firing from mobile launcher First, some person or persons unknown introduced what Siemens is describing as “the most refined type of malware ever developed,” the Stuxnet worm, which attacks Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems used to control and monitor industrial processes into Iran’s nuclear facilities’ computers.Stuxnet has the the capability to reprogram the programmable logic controllers (PLCs) which control the entire facility’s operation and monitor its safety and hide the changes.So sophisticated was the new worm that it is believed it could only have been produced by a state defense organization.
HuffPo
Now, the Internet Mossad-mouthpiece, Debkafile is gleefully reporting that last Tuesday Iran lost most of its ballistic missile launchers in a series of mysterious blasts.
A top-secret Iranian military installation was struck by a triple blast Tues. Oct. 12 the day before Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in Lebanon. debkafile’s military and intelligence sources report the site held most of the Shehab-3 medium-range missile launchers Iran had stocked for striking US forces in Iraq and Israel in the event of war – some set to deliver triple warheads (tri-conic nosecones). The 18 soldiers officially reported killed in the blasts and 14 injured belonged to the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) main missile arm, the Al-Hadid Brigades.The Imam Ali Base where the explosion occurred is situated in lofty Zagros mountain country near the town of Khorramabad in the western Iranian province of Lorestan. This site was selected for an altitude which eases precise targeting and the difficulty of reaching it for air or ground attack. It lies 400 kilometers from Baghdad and primary American bases in central Iraq and 1,250 kilometers from Tel Aviv and central Israel. Both are well within the Shehab-3 missile’s 1,800-2,500-kilometer operational range.Our Iranian sources report that Tehran spent hundreds of millions to build one of the largest subterranean missile launching facilities of its kind in the Middle East or Europe. Burrowed under the Imam Ali Base is a whole network of wide tunnels deep underground. Somehow, a mysterious hand rigged three blasts in quick succession deep inside those tunnels, destroying a large number of launchers and causing enough damage to render the facility unfit for use.In its official statement on the incident, Tehran denied it was the result of “a terrorist attack” and claimed the explosion “was caused by a nearby fire that spread to the munitions storage area of the base.” In the same way, the regime went to great lengths to cover up the ravages wrought to their nuclear and military control systems by the Stuxnet virus – which is still at work.In actual fact, debkafile’s military sources report, Iran’s missile arsenal and the Revolutionary Guards have also suffered a devastating blow. Worst of all, all their experts are a loss to account for the assailants’ ability to penetrate one of Iran’s most closely guarded bases and reach deep underground to blow up the missile launchers.The number of casualties is believed to be greater than the figure given out by Tehran.
The Israeli intelligence service has apparently scored a second major devastating blow to Iran’s strategic capabilities.

The United States, Israel, and their Western allies have, so far, failed to take military action to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapon development program, but Eli Lake explains that does not mean that covert operations intended to at least slow production have not been underway behind the scenes.
Efforts to steer defective products toward Iran have taken a number of forms. For instance, according to a former Mossad operations officer who goes by the alias Michael Ross, in 1998, the Mossad and the CIA developed a plan to sell a supposedly helpful chemical substance—which would, in fact, gum up centrifuges over time—to Iran on the black market. Then, there was the odd case of the Tinners, a Swiss family of engineers long believed to be a cog in the network of nuclear proliferators organized by Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan. In 2008, Urs Tinner admitted that he had been a CIA asset. And it turns out that he may have played a crucial role in an effort to sabotage Iran’s nuclear program. According to The New York Times and other sources, the Tinners sold high-quality vacuum pumps to the Iranians and Libyans. The pumps are crucial for uranium enrichment because centrifuges must operate inside a vacuum seal. David Albright—the president of the Institute for Science and International Security and the author of a new history of Iran’s illicit procurement of nuclear technology, Peddling Peril—explains that, while the pumps that ended up in Iran and Libya were produced in Germany, they were also worked on by the Oak Ridge and Los Alamos laboratories. These labs, he says, modified the pumps “to bug them or to make them break down under operational conditions. If you can break the vacuum in a centrifuge cascade, you can destroy hundreds of centrifuges or thousands if you are really lucky.” (A senior intelligence official confirmed Albright’s information to me. It should be noted that not everyone agrees that the Tinners were the ones who sold these pumps to the Iranians and Libyans; Albright, for one, isn’t sure.) ...But do sabotage efforts work? In late 2008 and early 2009, the iaea began to see a drop in the amount of low-enriched uranium (LEU) being produced at Natanz, the facility that lies at the center of Iran’s known nuclear weapons program. In the fall of 2008, its centrifuges were producing 90 kilograms a month of LEU. By the end of the year, however, the same centrifuges were producing 70 kilograms of LEU. To be sure, that number was back up to 85 kilograms per month at the close of 2009, and it has been climbing since, to around 120 kilograms a month; but those increases came after the installation of more centrifuges—all of which suggests that at least some of the machines were less efficient than they should be.Ivan Oelrich, a nuclear scientist and the vice president of the strategic security program at the Federation of American Scientists, estimated in a study this year that the centrifuges are operating at 20 percent efficiency. “We know the average efficiency of the centrifuges is dismal. We don’t know whether it is because of the quality of the individual centrifuges or how they are linked together,” he explains. “We can’t rule out sabotage as one factor leading to these inefficiencies.” Greg Jones, a nuclear analyst at the rand Corporation, says the Iranians “are operating just under four thousand machines, but they have installed about eight thousand five hundred. Those nonoperating machines have been installed for many months. Why they are not operating is not clear.”Among people I spoke to, there seemed to be a broad consensus that sabotage was, at the very least, slowing Iran’s quest for a nuclear weapon. A senior administration official told me that there was evidence the Iranians are experiencing delays due to “a combination of reasons—some inherent to the nature of the infeasibility of the design and the machines themselves, and some because of actions by the United States and its allies.” Explains David Kay, “History says that these things have done more to slow programs than any sanctions regime has or is likely to do.”However, the biggest payoff from these efforts may not come from the sabotage itself, but from the psychological effect it could have on Iran’s government. At the most general level, there are probably benefits to keeping Iranian intelligence officials paranoid and off-balance, simply because it can cause them to waste valuable time and resources. This appears to be happening. In 2007, for example, Iran’s state-run news service reported that the national police had arrested a cell of spy squirrels. The next year, Iran reportedly arrested a group of spy pigeons.But the specific benefit of sabotage is that it makes countries wary of purchasing crucial materials on the black market.

Gulf News (Bahrain), in English, passed along a report from its sister Arabic paper, describing a US/Israeli military build-up in preparation for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.Israel is massing warplanes in the Caucasus for an attack on Iran, it was revealed yesterday. Preparations are underway to launch the military attack from Azerbaijan and Georgia, reports our sister paper Akhbar Al Khaleej, quoting military sources.Israel was, in fact, training pilots in Turkey to launch the strike and was smuggling planes into Georgia using Turkish airspace, they said.However, Turkey was unaware of Israel’s intention of transferring the planes to Georgia, the sources said.The unexpected crisis between Israel and Turkey following an Israeli commando raid on an aid flotilla bound for Gaza Strip hit Israeli calculations.Azerbaijan-based intelligence units, working under the cover of technicians, trainers and consultants, have helped with the preparations, the sources said.Military equipment, mostly supplied by the US, was transported to a Georgian port via the Black Sea.Georgian coastguard and Israeli controllers are co-operating to hide the operations from Russian vessels, said the sources.They point out that according to Israel, it will not be in a position to launch a strike on Iran without using bases in Georgia and Azerbaijan due to the limited capabilities of its nuclear submarines stationed near the Iranian coast.Meanwhile, Iran’s Press TV reported that a very large contingent of US ground forces had massed in Azerbaijan, near the Iranian border. The independent Azerbaijani news website Trend confirmed the report.Those reports came just days after the Pentagon confirmed that an unusually large fleet of US warships had indeed passed through Egypt’s Suez Canal en route to the Gulf. At least one Israeli warship reportedly joined the American armada.

DEBKAfile has similar reports going back to a week before today:
Iran has declared a state of war on its northwestern border, DEBKAfile’s military and Iranian sources report. Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps men and equipment units are being massed in the Caspian Sea region against what Tehran claims are US and Israeli forces concentrated on army and air bases in Azerbaijan ready to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. ...
Other Iranian sources report that in the last few days, Israel has secretly transferred a large number of bomber jets to bases in Azerbaijan, via Georgia, and that American special forces are also concentrated in Azerbaijan in preparation for a strike.
DEBKAfile also notes that the US has stationed a third carrier group in the vicinity of Iran.
Debkafile’s military sources report that Washington has posted a third carrier opposite Iran’s shores. It is supported by amphibious assault ships and up to 4,000 Navy and Marine Corps personnel, bringing the total US strength in these waters to three carriers and 10,000 combat personnel.
And also notes in its paid-subscription version that Hillary Clinton will soon be making whirlwind visits to Azerbaijan, Georgia an Armenia.

It is very difficult to picture the Obama Administration reaching an internal consensus allowing it to initiate a preemptive military strike on another country. If Barack Hussein astonishingly ate his Wheaties one morning and suddenly experienced an attack of testosterone, any attempted serious US action would almost certainly be preceded by tearful resignations, leaks to the Washington Post and New York Times, and aggrieved editorials on FireDogLake. But… life is strange, human nature is unpredictable, one never really knows.
More likely, all this represents a calculated bluff intended to force Iran to resume negotiations.

Ha’aretz quotes Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi as telling reporters on Saturday that “the members of the G-8 are worried and believe absolutely that Israel will probably react preemptively.”
18 Apr 2010
Much like the Emperor in the fairy tale who had no clothes, Barack Obama has received a wake-up call in the form of a secret memo from his own Secretary of Defense warning that his administration has no strategy for coping with a nuclear Iran.Of course, in this case, it is the United States, her civilian population and her allies, who are naked and embarrassed by exposure to the threat of nuclear blackmail or actual attack by surrogates of the fanatical Iranian regime.
New York Times:
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has warned in a secret three-page memorandum to top White House officials that the United States does not have an effective long-range policy for dealing with Iran’s steady progress toward nuclear capability, according to government officials familiar with the document. Several officials said the highly classified analysis, written in January to President Obama’s national security adviser, Gen. James L. Jones, came in the midst of an intensifying effort inside the Pentagon, the White House and the intelligence agencies to develop new options for Mr. Obama. They include a set of military alternatives, still under development, to be considered should diplomacy and sanctions fail to force Iran to change course.Officials familiar with the memo’s contents would describe only portions dealing with strategy and policy, and not sections that apparently dealt with secret operations against Iran, or how to deal with Persian Gulf allies.One senior official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the memo, described the document as “a wake-up call.” But White House officials dispute that view, insisting that for 15 months they had been conducting detailed planning for many possible outcomes regarding Iran’s nuclear program.In an interview on Friday, General Jones declined to speak about the memorandum. But he said: “On Iran, we are doing what we said we were going to do. The fact that we don’t announce publicly our entire strategy for the world to see doesn’t mean we don’t have a strategy that anticipates the full range of contingencies — we do.”But in his memo, Mr. Gates wrote of a variety of concerns, including the absence of an effective strategy should Iran choose the course that many government and outside analysts consider likely: Iran could assemble all the major parts it needs for a nuclear weapon — fuel, designs and detonators — but stop just short of assembling a fully operational weapon.In that case, Iran could remain a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty while becoming what strategists call a “virtual” nuclear weapons state.According to several officials, the memorandum also calls for new thinking about how the United States might contain Iran’s power if it decided to produce a weapon, and how to deal with the possibility that fuel or weapons could be obtained by one of the terrorist groups Iran has supported, which officials said they considered to be a less-likely possibility.
31 Mar 2010
An unnamed (presumably liberal) official working in non-proliferation comments with indignation about Iran’s refusal to stop building nukes despite futile efforts by the current administration to bribe and cajole them into cooperating. The new CIA Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation and Arms Control Center 721 report makes it clear that they are ignoring the Obama Administration, the UN, and bien pensant liberals everywhere and going right ahead with developing all the WMD and delivery systems they can. Members of the comfortable and contented Western haute bourgeois establishment consistently indulge in the fallacy of supposing that foreign adversaries of the United States are at heart reasonable, well-meaning people like themselves who underneath it all really just want to get along with everyone. Of course, despotic totalitarian regimes don’t want to get along, they want to win.
Bill Gertz reports:
Iran is poised to begin producing nuclear weapons after its uranium program expansion in 2009, even though it has had problems with thousands of its centrifuges, according to a newly released CIA report. “Iran continues to develop a range of capabilities that could be applied to producing nuclear weapons, if a decision is made to do so,” the annual report to Congress states.A U.S. official involved in countering weapons proliferation said the Iranians are “keeping the door open to the possibility of building a nuclear weapon.”“That’s in spite of strong international pressure not to do so, and some difficulties they themselves seem to be having with their nuclear program,” the official said. “There are powerful incentives for them to close the door completely, but they are either purposefully ignoring them or are tone deaf. You almost want to shout, ‘Tune in Tehran.’” ...During the first 11 months of last year, the main uranium-enrichment facility at Natanz produced about 1.8 tons of low-enriched uranium hexafluoride, compared with about half a ton the previous year.The number of centrifuges at Natanz increased from about 5,000 to 8,700 last year, although the number reported to be working is about 3,900, indicating the Iranians are having problems with the machines. The centrifuges enrich uranium gas by spinning it at high speeds.Last year, Iran disclosed it is building a second gas-centrifuge plant near the city of Qom that will house an estimated 3,000 machines. U.S. officials have said the Qom facility, which was discovered in 2007, is a clear sign Iran’s nuclear program is geared toward producing weapons, because the facility is too small for nonmilitary uranium enrichment.Iran also continued work last year on a heavy water research reactor.On missiles, the report said Iran is building more short- and medium-range ballistic missiles and stated that “producing more capable medium-range ballistic missiles remains one of its highest priorities.”Three test flights of a new 1,240-mile-range Sejil missile were conducted in 2009, the report said, noting that assistance from China, North Korea and Russia “helped move Iran toward self-sufficiency in the production of ballistic missiles.”The report also said that Iran has the capability of producing both chemical and biological weapons, and Tehran continued to seek dual-use technology for its bioweapons program.
19 Mar 2010
The World Tribune reports that the Obama Administration is punishing Israel by denying it the necessary tools to serve as America’s surrogate in destroying Iran’s nuclear capability. How absolutely brilliant.The United States has diverted a shipment of bunker-busters designated for Israel. Officials said the U.S. military was ordered to divert a shipment of smart bunker-buster bombs from Israel to a military base in Diego Garcia. They said the shipment of 387 smart munitions had been slated to join pre-positioned U.S. military equipment in Israel Air Force bases.“This was a political decision,” an official said.In 2008, the United States approved an Israeli request for bunker-busters capable of destroying underground facilities, including Iranian nuclear weapons sites. Officials said delivery of the weapons was held up by the administration of President Barack Obama. Since taking office, Obama has refused to approve any major Israeli requests for U.S. weapons platforms or advanced systems. Officials said this included proposed Israeli procurement of AH-64D Apache attack helicopters, refueling systems, advanced munitions and data on a stealth variant of the F-15E.“All signs indicate that this will continue in 2010,” a congressional source familiar with the Israeli military requests said. “This is really an embargo, but nobody talks about it publicly.”
Obama’s recent creation of a relations crisis with Israel is, of course, yet another flagrant example of the open and insolent implementation of precisely the kind of hard-left ideological policy agenda that he assured the voting public back in 2008 played no part in his future governing intentions. Good-bye, moderation once again.
24 Oct 2009
The third time is enemy action, asserts the old Intelligence Community saying.
The Mirror:
A British nuclear expert taking part in disarmament talks with Iran has died in mysterious circumstances at a UN building in Austria.
Timothy Hampton, 47, plunged to his death from the 17th floor and was found in a stairwell just hours before high-level discussions were due to resume in Vienna.
Investigators said they have not ruled out murder or suicide, but local sources said no suicide note was found.
Police are also investigating the death of another Brit who fell from the same building four months ago.
The third such incident will be very hard to take for just another accident.
06 Sep 2009
Mossad leak channel Debkafile says that Western irresolution has given the mullahs enough time for their recent furious buildup in nuclear development activity to bring Iran within imminent reach of its ambitions.
Tehran has (taken) the longest strides towards its objective than at any time since its program was surreptitiously launched.
The progress confirmed by our sources consists of four major steps:
1. Iran has succeeded in secretly combining uranium processing, airborne high-explosive tests and work on designing a missile cone to fit a nuclear warhead, according to Western intelligence updates.
2. The conflicting reports on the amount of uranium enriched and number of fast centrifuge machines in operation obscure the following hard facts: The Iranians have doubled the number of ever faster centrifuges that are working at their enrichment plants.
They are moreover completing tests on a more advanced homemade centrifuge, the IR4, which will halve the time taken for converting low-grade enrichment uranium into weapons-grade material.
3. By February 2010 – and some say sooner – Tehran will have stocked enough high-grade enriched uranium for two nuclear bombs.
4. Iran has also gone into home production of nuclear fuel rods for plutonium.
27 Mar 2009
DEBKAFile’s latest rumor ought to be alarming to people residing in Manhattan.
Israel’s AMAN military intelligence director, Maj. Amos Yadlin updated the Knesset foreign affairs and security committee on the state of Iran’s nuclear progress Wednesday, March 25. He reported that although Iran is only months away from a capacity to make a nuclear bomb and has attained a warhead capability, Tehran has decided not to cross the threshold so as to avoid provoking Western retaliation.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report this is not Tehran’s true rationale. The Iranians are held back by two more compelling motives:
1. They will not be satisfied with a single nuclear bomb, but would rather build up an arsenal of 10 to 12 bombs and warheads for which they are short of enough enriched uranium at the moment.
2. Tehran is no longer deterred by fear of an American or European attack, Yadlin explained in his briefing Wednesday. Its leaders are standing by to see what rewards are on offer from US president Barack Obama for improving Washington-Tehran and how they may profit in strategic, diplomatic and economic terms. If the American incentives fall short, Tehran can push ahead with its nuclear weapon. ...
Until now, both Western and Israeli experts maintained Iran has not yet acquired the technology for mounting nuclear warheads on missiles. Yadlin now reveals Tehran is already there, a conclusion reached after the Iranians sent their first earth satellite, Omid, into space on Jan. 3. The launch meant that Iran can deliver nuclear warheads by ballistic missile to any point on earth.
DEBKAFile is a mouthpiece for Israeli Intelliegence. Not all of its reports are accurate. Let’s hope this is one of those which is not.

There is No England Anymore
Misha found a lump of gold at Cold Fury:
This war has become demoralizing because of repeated incidents of this nature: the unwillingness of Western powers to crush the enemy even in service of defending our own people. We have allowed the enemy to think he is braver than us. We have, thereby, emboldened the enemy and made things tougher for ourselves, not easier.
We fire not on their fortress mosques, nor on their ships, nor during their holy days, nor in their holy cities, nor at their “holy men.” We dare not humiliate. Instead, we allow ourselves to be forever humiliated and forfeit our men and women. So concerned are we about not offending Muslim pride we have thrown away our own. The West has decided that all things Islamic are to be granted a reverence we no longer grant ourselves. The sand and plaster of the fortress mosque seems to carry more importance than even the flesh and blood of our own soldiers.
If there is a more accurate, precision-guided missile of "Amen, Brother" out there, we have yet to see it. It is really a complete disgrace.
The Democrats (and weak Republicans) in Washington are apparently satisfied with this. Hell, they openly advocate for it.

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword.
It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the
mind has'closed',the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism,
will offer up all their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done.
AND I AM CAESAR."

 "The former German Minister of Technology has estimated that up to $15 billion of insider trading occurred before 9/11.
Still unknown stock traders knew what airlines would be hijacked as well as what corporations would be hardest hit by their targets andplaced billions in short selling puts on those companies. They also bought heavily in US.Treasury bonds, gold and oil futures which rose
in value after the event as could have been expected if the attacks were known about."

Home Run
Prince Turki al Faisal, Saudi ambassador to Great Britain, also the former Saudi intelligence chief who unexpectedly resigned twelve
days before September 11 on 31 August 2001, said today that America is a colonial power; that all this stuff about democracy for Iraq
is horsefeathers; that the (regrettably endlessly corrupt) Abu Ammar, Chairman Arafat, is a living martyr.
It was Prince Turki who recruited the group that later became al Qaeda to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989. At war's
end, Prince Turki certainly didn't want the soldiers to come home to Saudi Arabia, so he started paying the group $300 million a year to
keep them elsewhere. A dozen years later, New York got the picture. Prince Turki al Faisal's remarks, impolitic by most standards,
probably advance the widely-held notion that one faction of the House of Saud has always utterly loathed the United States and considers
Americans to be servants.

 NORTHWOODS PROJECT:
Los Angeles, Alta Califronia - October 28, 2002 - (ACN) La Voz de Aztlan has recentlyreported on our doubts that many of the terrorist attacks in the U.S. and around the world are the work of Islamic fundamentalists, Muslims or Arabs. There is ample evidence that these terrorist attacks are actually being committed by certain rogue elements of the U.S. and Israeli governments. In order to justify our doubts, we are making available to our readership below, the damning and shocking top secret "Northwoods Project" document that has been declassified and obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. Even though the project was written and approved by the Joints Chiefs of Staff and approved by the Secretary of Defense to deal with Cuba in 1962, the plan "fits like a glove" to what is presently occurring in the "War Against Islam."
The diabolical Northwoods Project's principal architect was the than Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Zionist General Lyman Lemnitzer who many patriotic Americans claimed was a Jewish operative for Israel. The evil nature of the plan is almost identical to those of Ariel Sharon's military command. The once "Top Secret" Pentagon document, that can be accessed through our link below, will hopefully help wake up the American public.
The plan calls for, among other things, the staging of terrorist incidents that would provide "pretexts" and "justifications" to attack Cuba. It outlined how Cuba would first be "demonized" in the eyes of the world and in the eyes of the United Nations. It is exactly the same script being utilized against Iraq. It provided ways by which Cuba would be seen as "rash", "irresponsible", "unpredictable", and a "threat" to the peace of the Western Hemisphere.
Among some of the specific "staged" terrorist incidents the plan proposed were to "blow up" a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba, attack the U.S. Guantanamo base with "fake" Cubans, and use fake MIG type aircraft piloted by U.S. pilots to attack US surface ships and passenger airlines. One proposal made by the Northwoods Project, and this may explain the "phantom" AA passenger airline that supposedly hit the Pentagon on September 11, was to provoke the Cuban government to shoot down a U.S passenger airline that the CIA would substitute with a "drone." In addition, the plan called for producing U.S. citizen casualty lists in Florida and Washington D.C. that would be published in the media thus generating "indignation" by the American public.

Saudi Envoy, Turki Al-Faisal: Iraq War Was 'Colonial' and About Oil
Mon May 24, 2004 07:16 AM ET
DUBLIN (Reuters) - The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was a colonial war and
there were some in the United States who saw it as a means of getting their
hands on Iraqi oil, a senior Saudi ambassador was quoted as saying Monday.
Prince Turki al-Faisal, ambassador to Britain and Ireland, told the Irish
Independent newspaper Washington's stated aims in going to war in Iraq
masked a more cynical reality.
"No matter how exalted the aims of the U.S. in that war, in the final
analysis it was a colonial war very similar to the wars conducted by the
ex-colonial powers when they went out to conquer the rest of the world ...,"
Prince Turki said.
"What we have heard from American sources they were there to remove the
weapons of mass destruction which Saddam Hussein was supposed to have
acquired."
Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. regional ally, opposed the war despite tensions
with Iraq since its 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
"What we read and hear from our commentators in America and sometimes
congressional sources, if you remember going back a year ago, there was the
issue of the oil reserves in Iraq and that in a year or two they would be
producing so much oil in Iraq that, as it were, the war would pay for
itself," the envoy said.
" indicated that there were those in America who were thinking in those
terms of acquiring the natural resources of Iraq for America." Prince Turki
said U.S. pledges to bring freedom and democracy to Iraq remained "still
just aims."
"The individual Iraqi, until he can actually declare that his government is
truly representative of his wishes and aspirations must still consider
himself occupied," he said.
On the wider conflict in the Middle East, Prince Turki described Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat as "a living martyr," persecuted by an Israel "that is
ruthless and generally devoid of any human considerations (toward the
Palestinians)."
Critics of Saudi Arabia, cradle of Islam and the birthplace of Osama bin
Laden and 15 of the September 11 hijackers, have accused it of allowing
religious militancy to flourish.
The envoy described bin Laden's al Qaeda network as "not so much an
organization as a cult with a cult leader and a cult philosophy...."
"One of the main drawbacks of the operations in Afghanistan is that bin
Laden has not been caught," he said. "To bring bin Laden to justice will go
a long way to removing some of his mystique."

On a more productive note, if that's the adjective in these early days of
asymmetrical world war:
Sept. 11 Families Sue Saudis, Sudan
August 16, 2002
"We will succeed because we have the facts and the law on our side."
Thomas E. Burnett Sr., father of Sept. 11 victim
(CBS) - Some 600 relatives who lost loved ones in the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks have filed a $100 trillion lawsuit against the Sudanese government
and Saudi officials, banks and charities, claiming they helped finance Osama
bin Laden's network.
However, lead attorney Ron Motley said Friday that the $100 trillion
complaint was being amended and would likely be scaled down asking for
damages in excess of $1 trillion in future filings.
"It's not the money. We want to do something to get at these people," said
Irene Spina, whose daughter, Lisa L. Trerotola, 38, died in the World Trade
Center in New York City. "There's nothing else we can do."
"This is the right thing to do," said Matt Sellito, father of Matthew Carmen
Sellito, 23, who also died at the World Trade Center. "If the odds are
stacked against us, we will beat them."
The 15-count federal lawsuit seeks to cripple banks, charities and some
members of the Saudi royal family as a deterrent to terrorist financing
schemes.
The suit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., on
behalf of the families. The complaint charges the defendants with
racketeering, wrongful death, negligence and conspiracy.
Motley said the money likely would come largely from assets held by the
defendants in the United States. He said the plaintiffs were after more
institutions than those whose assets already have been frozen by the U.S.
and other governments.
Another attorney in the case, Allan Gerson, said Friday that one aim of the
lawsuit was to choke off the financial support for terrorist networks.
"Until now, sponsoring terrorism has been a cost-free operation," Gerson
said on CBS News' "The Early Show." He said "we intend to stop that."
The lawsuit is likely to cause post 9-11 friction between the U.S. and Saudi
Arabia, reports CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer.
The Bush administration has been careful not to blame the Saudi government
for the attacks in its drive to build a coalition for its war against
terrorism. But the relatives' lawsuit bluntly accuses Saudi officials and
institutions of supporting terrorists.
"That kingdom sponsors terrorism," Motley told reporters. "This is an
insidious group of people."
The complaint names more than seven dozen defendants, including the
government of Sudan, seven banks, eight Islamic foundations and three Saudi
princes.
Those listed include Prince Mohammed al-Faisal, former intelligence chief
Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan, Khalid bin
Salim bin Mahfouz of the National Commercial Bank and the Faisal Islamic
Bank.
Officials from the Saudi Embassy did not return a call for comment.
Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister, said last week that the
70-year-old U.S.-Saudi alliance was as solid now as before the Sept. 11
attacks on the United States.
He said bin Laden, who was stripped of Saudi citizenship and is accused of
directing the al Qaeda attacks, had intended to drive a wedge between the
two countries when he chose 15 Saudi citizens to be among the 19 hijackers.
Several plaintiffs, fighting tears, said they would dedicate the rest of
their lives to punishing those who financed the hijackings and crashes of
four U.S. commercial jets on Sept. 11.
"We will succeed because we have the facts and the law on our side," said
Thomas E. Burnett Sr., whose son, Thomas E. Burnett Jr., led a passenger
revolt against the hijackers of United Airlines Flight 93 and died when it
plummeted to the ground in a southwestern Pennsylvania field.
"We have justice and morality on our side," he added.
Burnett's mother, Deena, said her son told her in a phone call that he was
"putting a plan together that he and others were going to take back the
airplane."
"And he said, 'You know Deena, I think we can do it. It's up to us,' she
said. "Those words resonate in my mind. And I think we're going to do
something, too. And this is a good start."
