IASPS- the committee, who later supported PNAC:

In 1996, an Israeli think tank called the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS) published a paper by Richard Perle and Douglas Feith titled, "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm," which advised incoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to renege on the Oslo Peace Process.

(keywords: PNAC, IASPS, Regime Change Iraq, Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, war was planned)

(from 911Skeptics Unite! -the encyclopedia")

"...Another member of the committee was David Wurmser, who is now a senior adviser to John Bolton, the Under-Secretary for Arms Control and International Security, and the State Department's most hawkish senior official. In 1999, Wurmser published a book (with a foreword by Richard Perle) called "Tyranny's Ally: America's Failure to Defeat Saddam Hussein." It provides a detailed description of a dramatically improved Middle East, from the hawk point of view, after regime change in Iraq.



The other members of the blueprint committee for PNAC: James Colbert (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs), Charles Fairbanks, Jr.(Johns Hopkins University/SAIS -->), Robert Loewenberg (President IASPS), David Wurmser (IASPS), and Meyrav Wurmser (Johns Hopkins University), Jonathan Torop (The Washington Institute for Near East Policy) and others.

The committee and this document later inspired PNAC (->) for another blueprint of a regime change in Iraq.

Strategy paper on oil, August 2001: Turkey: The key to oil and gas (IASPS report, August 2001):

"...A recent study by CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies ->) in Washington, D. C., foresees that by 2020, 50 percent of estimated total global oil demand will be met by countries posing a high risk of internal instability. Crises in the world’s key energy-producing countries are highly likely for the next two decades. There is little likelihood that such crises will bring to power rulers friendlier to America than the current ones, since 65.3 of the recoverable oil reserves of the world (683.6 billion barrels) are in the unstable and largely anti-American Middle East region. Saudi Arabia produces a 25.3 percent share, while Iraq puts out 10.8 percent and Iran 8.6 percent...

...The U.S. is 50 percent dependent on oil imports; Turkey and Israel are almost totally dependent on outside oil and gas...the importance of Caspian hydrocarbons will greatly increase... Some major European, Asian and Russian oil companies (TotalfinaElf, Shell, ENI and others) are taking advantage of anti-Americanism generated by U.S. sanctions toward Iran and Iraq by investing there, free of U.S. competition. Therefore it is questionable whether the U.S. will be able or willing to secure Europe’s (and Asia’s) Middle Eastern oil supplies...

...Some national oil companies around the Caspian tend to exaggerate their unexplored (potential) reserves to attract foreign investors. On the other hand, some major oil companies try to play down those reserves, either to receive better terms in the Production Sharing Agreements or to delay major investments like main export pipelines, as we now are observing in the decision process of the Baku-Ceyhan oil pipeline from the Caspian..."

The Oil Factor

"...Those suspicious of Bush's agenda often cite one particular commodity: oil. They note that Iraq possesses the world's second-largest proven reserves of petroleum, about 112 billion barrels, second only to Saudi Arabia's 261 billion. This represents a prize of enormous economic and strategic value; control of it would give the United States great leverage over the Saudis and other oil producers -- and great profits to the companies allowed to develop it..."

"...The White House has privately ruled out suggestions that the US should go to war against Syria following its military success in Iraq, and has blocked preliminary planning for such a campaign in the Pentagon, the Guardian learned yesterday. In the past few weeks, the US defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, ordered contingency plans for a war on Syria to be reviewed following the fall of Baghdad.

Meanwhile, his undersecretary for policy, Doug Feith, and William Luti, the head of the Pentagon's office of special plans, were asked to put together a briefing paper on the case for war against Syria, outlining its role in supplying weapons to Saddam Hussein, its links with Middle East terrorist groups and its allegedly advanced chemical weapons programme. Mr Feith and Mr Luti were both instrumental in persuading the White House to go to war in Iraq.

Mr Feith and other conservatives now playing important roles in the Bush administration, advised the Israeli government in 1996 that it could "shape its strategic environment... by weakening, containing and even rolling back Syria".

February-March 20, 2003: With war against Iraq imminent, numerous media outlets finally begin reporting on the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) think tank and its role in influencing Iraq policy and US foreign policy generally. PNAC's plans for global domination had been noted before 9/11 (see for instance, [Washington Post, 8/21/01]), and PNAC's 2000 report recommending the conquest of Iraq even if Saddam Hussein is not in power was first reported on in September 2002 (see September 2000 and [Sunday Herald, 9/7/02]), but there were few follow-up mentions until February (exceptions: [Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 9/29/02, Bangor Daily News, 10/18/02, New Statesman, 12/16/02, Los Angeles Times, 1/12/03]. Many of these articles use PNAC to suggest that global and regional domination is the real reason for the Iraq war. Coverage increases as war gets nearer, but many media outlets still have not done any reporting on this, and some of the reporting that has been done is not prominently placed (for instance, a New York Times article on the topic is buried in the Arts section! See [New York Times, 3/11/03]). One Newsweek editorial notes that "not until the last few days" before war have many reasons against the war been brought up. It calls this "too little, too late" to make an impact. [Newsweek, 3/18/03] (Articles that discuss PNAC: [Philadelphia Daily News, 1/27/03, New York Times, 2/1/03, PBS Frontline, 2/20/03, Observer, 2/23/03, Bergen Record, 2/23/03, Guardian, 2/26/03, Mother Jones, 3/03, BBC, 3/2/03, Observer, 3/2/03, Der Spiegel, 3/4/03, ABC, 3/5/03 (B), Salon, 3/5/03, Independent, 3/8/03, Toronto Star, 3/9/03, ABC, 3/10/03, Australian Broadcasting Corp., 3/10/03, CNN, 3/10/03, Guardian 3/11/03, New York Times, 3/11/03, American Prospect, 3/12/03, Chicago Tribune, 3/12/03, Globe and Mail, 3/14/03, Japan Times, 3/14/03, Sydney Morning Herald, 3/15/03, Salt Lake Tribune, 3/15/03, Minneapolis Star Tribune, 3/16/03, Observer, 3/16/03, Sunday Herald, 3/16/03, Toronto Star, 3/16/03, Canadian Broadcasting Corp., 3/17/03, Globe and Mail, 3/19/03, Asia Times, 3/20/03, The Age, 3/20/03])

Plan to invade Syria was drawn up years ago


25.04.2003 [08:59]

"...Some cynics claim that George W. Bush and his closest advisors -- whom cynics cynically refer to as "bloodthirsty corporate pimps" -- are just a bunch of vicious, shifty liars. But this column takes enormous umbrage at the heaping of such unsupported calumny upon the good names of these great leaders. They have been maligned, slandered, falsely accused. For when it comes to their plans for world conquest, these so-called "pimps" are as honest as the day is long.

As we all know, the rape of Iraq (or as future historians will doubtless call it, "The Dawn of the Shiite Empire") was planned openly several years ago by a hard-right agitprop cell led by Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld. Now it turns out that the recent big-monkey chest-beating aimed at Syria -- threats of sanctions, "surgical" strikes, and "regime change" -- was also carefully planned, by many of the same people, long before the Bush Regime seized power.

As we've often reported here, in September 2000 the Cheney-Rumsfeld outfit, Project for the New American Century, proudly published their blueprint for the direct imposition of U.S. "forward bases" throughout Central Asia and the Middle East. They even foresaw the need for what they called a "Pearl Harbor-type event" to galvanize the American public into supporting their ambitious program. Their reasons for this program were also stated quite openly: to ensure U.S. political and economic domination of the world, while strangling any potential "rival" or any viable alternative to the rapacious crony capitalism favored by the PNAC extremists. This dominance would be enforced by the ever-present threat -- and frequent application -- of violence. (A tactic known elsewhere as "terrorism.")

PNAC was also very honest about the role of Iraq in this crusade for empire, stating plainly that the need for a U.S. military presence in the area "superseded" the "issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein." There was no sanctimonious posturing about "liberation," weapons of mass destruction or terrorist connections. To dominate the oil wealth centered in that region -- and hence the economic/political development of the world in the coming decades -- they needed a military presence in Iraq; it's as simple as that.

And now they've got it. Again, it's all quite open -- for anyone who cares to look. Last week, the Pentagon announced that it "expects" (i.e., "demands") to have "long-term access" to at least four major military bases in Iraq, The New York Times reports. (Rumsfeld -- or "Shifty" as cynics like to call him -- later issued a weasel-worded non-denial denial.) Although the hundreds of thousands of armed and angry Shiite Muslims currently clamoring for an Islamic state in Bush's new satrapy may yet cause a spot of bother for the sahibs, for now the generals and arms dealers installed as Iraq's new rulers believe they will still be sitting pretty in Fort Pretzel and Carlyle Air Base throughout the "new American century." This was, after all, the purpose of the recent slaughter -- as Cheney and Rumsfeld told us plainly years ago..."
