Nemesis Stalks Chicken-Hawks:

Iraq Failure Fuels Countercoup
by Michele Steinberg
 
President Abraham Lincoln famously pointed to a principle of
republican leadership in a national crisis, with his optimistic epithet,
"You can't fool all of the people all of the time." And all
signs are that time is up for the ignoble lies of the Straussian
conspirators in the United States and Israel who pushed the Iraq war, and
want America involved in world imperial "perpetual wars."

 
As of May 22, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer was gone; Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had cancelled his trip to Washington to see
President Bush; Gen. Tommy R. Franks, CENTCOM chief and the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars' commander, was gone; calls were being made on the floor
of the Congress for the resignation of Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul
Wolfowitz, the leading warmonger, and disciple of fascist philosopher Leo
Strauss, in the Bush Administration; Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) was
denouncing the entire rationale of the Iraq war as a pack of deliberate
lies coming from the Bush Administration; and the Central Intelligence
Agency had assembled a panel of retired analysts to review "what
went wrong" and "whodunnit" over the concocted
intelligence reports that hyped a "clear and present danger" of
Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and predicted an Iraq where milk,
honey, oil revenues, liberty, and democracy would flow after Saddam
Hussein was defeated and ousted.
 
Throw into this boil, the fact that Godric Smith, press spokesman for
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, resigned just hours after Fleischer.
"Goddie" was second to Blair's chief spokesman Alistair
Campbell, who pushed through the "British dossier" on Iraq's
alleged ABC weapons on the eve of the crucial Feb. 5 UN Security Council
debate; the dossier turned out to be a hoax.
 
The Role of Ariel Sharon
 
White House spokesman Fleischer did not resign, but was fired, say
Washington sources. There were differences between Fleischer and the
President, which likely overlap the question of why Prime Minister Sharon
abruptly, on May 18, cancelled his May 20 meeting with Bush. This could
be the beginning of "regime change" in Washington and Jerusalem
what LaRouche has been calling the "countercoup" President Bush
must implement to take back control of his Administration and the nation
from the Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz cabal.
 
LaRouche, acting as a "shadow President," accuses the Cheney
cabal of having carried out a "coup d'e tat" under the cover of
the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, to implement a domestic police state, and put
the United States at the head of an international "Waffen SS"
imperial force. Iraq, for the Cheney gang, is only the first step in a
succession of wars that include Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. A
countercoup is the only way, says LaRouche, for the United States to exit
from the Iraq mess, for which the neo-conservative cabal is fully
responsible. This exit strategy must include a peace plan in the Middle
East leading to a Palestinian state.
 
Various Republicans have told Bush that he will not be able to win the
election in 2004, unless he can push through the "Road Map" in
the Middle East. He will not be able to win if he enters another war, or
does not do something about the economic crisis. This advice would put
Bush at loggerheads with the neo-conservatives, especially Cheney, and
with Sharon and his allies. As EIR reported on May 23, Powell didn't win
the "Road Map" issue in his May 11 meeting with Sharon, but
once back in Washington, did establish the point that Sharon shows no
respect for President Bush, and has gone too far.
 
Just before the Israeli Prime Minister was due in Washington, signs
emerged that Bush was not backing Sharon's stiff-arm of the Road Map;
pro- Sharon events in the United States flopped entirely (see box).
Without Bush's "green light," Sharon faces an existential
crisis, needing U.S. backing to stay in power. That reveals the reason he
stayed away from Washington.
 
On May 17, under intense pressure from Washington, Sharon met with
Palestinian Prime Minister Abu Mazen, in Jerusalem, in the first
Israeli-Palestinian summit meeting in nearly three years. Sharon had done
everything possible to avoid such a meeting, but despite a Palestinian
suicide bombing incident in Hebron just hours earlier, it went ahead. As
expected, a deadlock resulted when Sharon refused Abu Mazen's request
that he accept the Road Map. Sharon boasted that he would only discuss
his reservations with George W. Bush. Then abruptly, the meeting with
Bush was off, when a second suicide bombing in Jerusalem on May 18 the
first Jerusalem bombing in six months killed seven Israelis.
 
But, Sharon didn't cancel his trip because of terror incidents;
rather, he used the excuse of the terrorism, so he wouldn't have to come
to Washington and face a potential reproach from Bush. American and
Israeli intelligence circles that know Sharon intimately, suspect that
the recent terror wave in Israel bears the mark of his dirty tricks,
since it was he who built up Hamas and Islamist terror networks to
counter the PLO. The extremists on both sides use terror to derail peace.

 
It is now a problem for Sharon that he didn't go to Washington. For
the first time in his 27-month tenure, he has not been able to use
conveniently-timed terror to further his real desire to cancel the Oslo
Treaty, and move the Palestinians out of Israel and the Palestine
National Authority completely. The five suicide bombings in 48 hours,
from May 17-19, did not cause Bush to drop the Road Map. At the same
time, a growing number in the American Jewish community are telling
Sharon that the American Jews, like the majority of Israelis, actually
support a Palestinian state, if that could bring an end to terrorism. The
Sharonists are enraged that Bush phoned Prime Minister Abu Mazen on May
20, reiterating his commitment to a sovereign Palestinian state. Abu
Mazen told Bush he is committed to combatting terrorism.
 
In Israel, the fascists in Sharon's cabinet are now calling for Israel
to assassinate Palestinian President Yasser Arafat to stop the Road Map,
and in the United States, Likudnik neo-cons are attacking Bush. Sharon
wants to delay visiting Washington, hoping the neo-cons regain their
monopoly around the Administration. But, Bush is now pressuring him to
come before the President leaves for the G-8 summit in Evian, France on
May 30.
 
Et Tu, Tommy?
 
But the biggest news was at the Pentagon, where on May 22, General
Franks announced he was resigning. This left Rumsfeld twisting in the
wind, reports a high-level Washington intelligence source, who agreed
with LaRouche that Rumsfeld had acted like Adolf Hitler in running a
purge of the traditional generals who opposed his utopian war plans for
Iraq. Recall that Rummy had canned Secretary of the Army, retired Gen.
Tommy White, as part of his plan to push through Notverordnung
(emergency) laws to "transform" the military. Rumsfeld had also
tried to silence Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki, who warned that
Rummy's plan for Iraq would lead to a disaster, endangering civilians and
spreading disease and chaos, because of an inadequate deployment of U.S.
forces. Rumsfeld announced Shinseki's replacement months before his term
was up. But now, the purges are backfiring�"Rummy's intended
replacement for Shinseki, General Keane, announced he wasn't taking the
job; Shinseki stuck to his guns, and is considered "prophetic,"
within uniformed military ranks, because he stood up to the
chicken-hawks. Rummy has no Army Chief of Staff, and Franks, his
"conquering hero," has quit.
 
The most important thing about these developments is that a fight
started in Congress against the Rumsfeld plan after LaRouche declared
that it was unconstitutional, and if it were pushed through, Rumsfeld was
impeachable. LaRouche called the separation of powers concept the
baseline of the Constitution, starting the fight which some Democrats and
others have begun to join.
 
On May 21, the Cheney/Rumsfeld cabal also took a direct hit in
Congress. Sen. Robert Byrd, during the debate on the National Defense
Authorization Act for 2004, said, "The American people have been
lured into accepting the unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation, in
violation of long- standing international law, under false
premises." He accused the Administration of manipulating the events
of Sept. 11, falsely equating Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
"It was the exploitation of [Americans'] fear," said Byrd. The
Bush team's "extensive hype of WMD in Iraq as justification for a
pre-emptive invasion has become more than embarrassing," since
troops have so far found "fertilizer, vacuum cleaners, conventional
weapons, and the occasional buried swimming pool." The hype has
revealed, Byrd said, "the reckless use of power," with the
"lucrative contracts" to rebuild Iraq's infrastructure. In the
House, Rep. Barney Frank
(D-Mass.) called for neo-con kingpin Wolfowitz to resign.
 
There is more to come. A Washington diplomatic source told EIR that
there is tremendous anger in the capital against the neo-con coup, and
there will likely be hearings along the lines of Iran-Contra, or the
1970s Church Committee  to uncover how the Iraq fiasco was pushed
through. Retired Marine Gen. Joseph Hoar, who opposed the utopian Iraq
war plans, and remains a critic of what happened, called for full
Congressional hearings, as soon as the combat ended.
 
On May 22, the first step of this emerged when the New York Times
revealed that the CIA has begun a review of the reports circulated inside
the government before the war including sworn testimony to Congress to
compare them with what has actually been found or not found in Iraq. CIA
Director George Tenet has named a team of retired intelligence analysts
to run the review.
 
What is really targetted is the Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz
"deception" unit in the DOD Office of Intelligence, and leading
Straussian Abram Shulsky, who ran a "Chicken-hawk Intelligence
Agency" that cooked intelligence reports using information from
convicted Iraqi crook Ahmed Chalabi, to present so- called evidence about
Iraq. Shulsky, who is featured in LaRouche's campaign pamphlet, Children
of Satan, the Ignoble Liars Behind Bush No-Exit War, is one of the first
on the line.
