SCOTT RITTER SAYS U.S. PLANS JUNE ATTACK ON IRAN, 'COOKED' JAN. 30
IRAQI ELECTION RESULTS



By Mark Jensen



United for Peace of Pierce County (WA)

February 19, 2005



Scott Ritter, appearing with journalist Dahr Jamail yesterday in
Washington State, dropped two shocking bombshells in a talk delivered
to a packed house in Olympia's Capitol Theater. The ex-Marine turned
UNSCOM weapons inspector said that George W. Bush has "signed off" on
plans to bomb Iran in June 2005, and claimed the U.S. manipulated the
results of the recent Jan. 30 elections in Iraq.



Olympians like to call the Capitol Theater "historic," but it's
doubtful whether the eighty-year-old edifice has ever been the scene of
more portentous revelations.



The principal theme of Scott Ritter's talk was Americans' duty to
protect the U.S. Constitution by taking action to bring an end to the
illegal war in Iraq. But in passing, the former UNSCOM weapons
inspector stunned his listeners with two pronouncements. Ritter said
plans for a June attack on Iran have been submitted to President George
W. Bush, and that the president has approved them. He also asserted
that knowledgeable sources say U.S. officials "cooked" the results of
the Jan. 30 elections in Iraq.



On Iran, Ritter said that President George W. Bush has received and
signed off on orders for an aerial attack on Iran planned for June
2005. Its purported goal is the destruction of Iran's alleged program
to develop nuclear weapons, but Ritter said neoconservatives in the
administration also expected that the attack would set in motion a
chain of events leading to regime change in the oil-rich nation of 70
million -- a possibility Ritter regards with the greatest skepticism.



The former Marine also said that the Jan. 30 elections, which George W.
Bush has called "a turning point in the history of Iraq, a milestone in
the advance of freedom," were not so free after all. Ritter said that
U.S. authorities in Iraq had manipulated the results in order to reduce
the percentage of the vote received by the United Iraqi Alliance from
56% to 48%.



Asked by UFPPC's Ted Nation about this shocker, Ritter said an official
involved in the manipulation was the source, and that this would soon
be reported by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist in a major
metropolitan magazine -- an obvious allusion to New Yorker reporter
Seymour M. Hersh.



On Jan. 17, the New Yorker posted an article by Hersh entitled The
Coming Wars (New Yorker, January 24-31, 2005). In it, the well-known
investigative journalist claimed that for the Bush administration, "The
next strategic target [is] Iran." Hersh also reported that "The
Administration has been conducting secret reconnaissance missions
inside Iran at least since last summer." According to Hersh, "Defense
Department civilians, under the leadership of Douglas Feith, have been
working with Israeli planners and consultants to develop and refine
potential nuclear, chemical-weapons, and missile targets inside Iran. .
.. . Strategists at the headquarters of the U.S. Central Command, in
Tampa, Florida, have been asked to revise the military's war plan,
providing for a maximum ground and air invasion of Iran. . . . The
hawks in the Administration believe that it will soon become clear that
the Europeans' negotiated approach [to Iran] cannot succeed, and that
at that time the Administration will act."



Scott Ritter said that although the peace movement failed to stop the
war in Iraq, it had a chance to stop the expansion of the war to other
nations like Iran and Syria. He held up the specter of a day when the
Iraq war might be remembered as a relatively minor event that preceded
an even greater conflagration.



Scott Ritter's talk was the culmination of a long evening devoted to
discussion of Iraq and U.S. foreign policy. Before Ritter spoke, Dahr
Jamail narrated a slide show on Iraq focusing on Fallujah. He showed
more than a hundred vivid photographs taken in Iraq, mostly by himself.
Many of them showed the horrific slaughter of civilians.



Dahr Jamail argued that U.S. mainstream media sources are complicit in
the war and help sustain support for it by deliberately downplaying the
truth about the devastation and death it is causing.



Jamail was, until recently, one of the few unembedded journalists in
Iraq and one of the only independent ones. His reports have gained a
substantial following and are available online at dahrjamailiraq.com.



Friday evening's event in Olympia was sponsored by South Puget Sound
Community College's Student Activities Board, Veterans for Peace, 100
Thousand and Counting, Olympia Movement for Justice & Peace, and United
for Peace of Pierce County.

Neocon Middle East Policy: 'Clean Break' Damage Assessment


Neocon Middle East Policy:

The 'Clean Break' Plan Damage Assessment


http://www.irmep.org/cbda.htm

A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm is a definitive
Middle East Policy strategy authored and implemented by operatives in
the highest levels of the US government.

There is just one problem. The plan was a strategy for Israel , not the
United States of America .

Neocon Middle East Policy reviews strategies and consequences of the
"Clean Break" plan authored by Richard Perle, David Wurmser, and
Douglas Feith in 1996. It analyzes the core assumptions of the policy,
cost of tactics that have already been implemented and discusses the
likelihood others will be executed in the future.

Neocon Middle East Policy then turns to the most difficult questions of
all, "Can a policy crafted for a foreign government and presented to
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu serve as a blueprint for US regional
policy? At what cost in credibility, blood, treasure and American
integrity? At what cost to Israel?" Neocon Middle East Policy is a
must-read for anyone concerned about the convergence of US and Israeli
foreign policy in the Middle East.
