US had 'no advance warning'

BBC -Monday, 6 October, 2003

US President George Bush spoke to the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon following Sunday's air strike on Syria.

But the main purpose of the call, according to the White House, was to express condolences for the Haifa suicide bombing.

The Bush administration is said to have had no advance warning of the Israeli attack on the target in Syria and no firm knowledge that it was a terrorist camp.

The White House has called on both Israel and Syria to avoid an escalation of violence.

But a White House spokesman said Mr Bush and Mr Sharon had agreed during their phone conversation on the need to continue fighting terrorism in the region.

The attack against Syria comes with no real surprise

It was long planned by the NeoCon Think Tank PNAC, a Washington-Jerusalem committee of JINSA- and IASPS-related members.
(GFP and/or Ewing2001 reported since late 2001).

In 2000, the study, "Ending Syria's Occupation of Lebanon: The US Role", was co-authored by Daniel Pipes, who has just been nominated by Bush to a post at the US Institute of Peace, and Ziad Abdelnour, who heads a group founded by him called the United States Committee for a Free Lebanon (USCFL).

The study was released by Pipes' group, the Middle East Forum.

Among the signers are many PNAC-members and several senior members of the administration of President George W Bush, including the chief Middle East aide on the National Security Council, Elliott Abrams; Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith; Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky, and Michael Rubin and David Wurmser, senior consultants to both the State Department and the Pentagon on Iraq policy.

Also signing were Richard Perle, the powerful former chairman of the Defense Policy Board; former United Nations ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick; Frank Gaffney, a former Perle aide who heads the Center for Defense Policy; Michael Ledeen, another close Perle collaborator at the American Enterprise Institute; and David Steinmann, chairman of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA).

In April 2001, Sharon suggested that the U.S. put "very heavy pressure on Syria, not necessarily by going to war, but through political and economic pressure.”

Only 1 week after 9/11, on September 20th, 2001, PNAC wrote a letter to Bush:

"...Should Iran and Syria refuse to comply, the administration should consider appropriate measures of retaliation against these known state sponsors of terrorism..."

In December 2002, CNN reported, that Sharon claimed, his country has reports that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has transferred WMD to Syria.

Only two days ago, a British Daily revealed, that the U.S. Government had a five year plan to attack seven nations across the Muslim world, "beginning with Iraq, then Syria".

Maybe this was the very last chance to continue the PNAC plan. Instead of the U.S., Israel attacked Syria within 24 hours after the release of this report.

The U.S. Government needs currently any kind of distraction to cover-up 9/11 and "Traitorgate". While the democrats and many liberals seem to support their strategy for their lousy election2004 campaign, this could work for a while.

Every Moron googled these PNAC documents since months, but the majority of "sophisticated liberals" still thinks, it might be more important to talk about Schwarzenegger's Gang Bang Past or to send hate-spam mails against Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh.

I don't think, it's diatribe to blame this attack on the democrats as well, who had not been aggressive enough to fight for a regime change and impeachment before 2004. This smacks like fascism.

The Bogus War against Terrorism continues, the lies about 9/11 still brainwash the sheeple...
