Family ties connect US right, Zionists
By Jim Lobe
WASHINGTON: When Vice President Dick Cheney's national security adviser and fellow hawk Eric Edelman was promoted to become the new US ambassador to Turkey last month, it was hardly a surprise when Cheney tapped Victoria Nuland to take his place.
Nuland, whose last post was deputy US ambassador to Nato, is just as well known as the spouse of Robert Kagan, co-founder of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which nine days after the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, published an open letter to President George W. Bush urging that the war on terrorism include the removal of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, "even if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack".
While Nuland enjoys a strong reputation as an independent thinker, the family connection to Kagan was typical of the extraordinarily tight-knit nature of the regime that has taken control of US foreign policy since 9/11.
When historians look back at the major backers of an aggressive US foreign policy vis-a-vis Iraq and the "war on terrorism", one of the more curious aspects they are likely to find is the degree to which key hawks both within and outside the administration not only affirmed each other's political views, but were actually related to one another, as well.
Consider Kagan's family: in addition to Robert, whose current book Of Paradise and Power, a meditation on the notion that Americans are from Mars and Europeans are from Venus, there is his father, Donald, a Yale University historian who also signed the Sep. 20, 2001 letter, and his brother, Frederick, a military historian at the US Army Academy, both prominent in the neo-conservative cause.
On the eve of the 2000 presidential elections, Donald and Frederick published While America Sleeps, a clarion call on Washington - which was already spending more on arms than the 13 next biggest militaries combined - to increase its defence spending sharply lest it find itself, like Britain in the late 1930s, unable to face down a new Hitler. Since then, both men have published reams of columns warning that Washington must immediately increase military spending by at least 25 per cent to keep up with its global responsibilities.
Robert was also busy in 2000, preparing the groundwork for the neo-imperial policy of the post-9/11 period. In addition to writing columns for the Washington Post, he co-edited another book, Present Dangers, about US foreign policy - to which both Frederick and Donald contributed chapters - with his long-time collaborator and PNAC co-founder, William Kristol.
Editor of the Rupert Murdoch-owned, neo-conservative Weekly Standard, PNAC chairman, Kristol, who first came to national prominence as a top aide to then-vice president Dan Quayle, is the son of Irving Kristol, the godfather of neo- conservatism who waged cultural wars against the Soviet Union in Europe in the 1950s, and who has been calling for a new US imperial role since the late 1960s.
Irving, whose wife Gertrude Himmelfarb, has also been a major neo-con heavyweight for decades, played a key role in steering the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal from a bland, business-oriented conservatism into a mouthpiece for the Israeli Likud Party and other far right causes.
Just last week the elder Kristol was honoured for his lifetime achievements at the annual dinner at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where Bush himself laid out the vision that tugs at the hearts of neo-cons today: a "liberated Iraq" and a transformed Arab Middle East prepared to make peace with Israel on Likud terms.
As godfather of the movement, Irving played mentor to Norman Podhoretz, the long-time but now-retired editor of Commentary, the influential monthly publication of the American Jewish Committee (AJC). Originally identified with the anti-war left in the mid-1960s, Podhoretz converted to neo-conservatism late in the decade and transformed the magazine into a main source of neo-conservative writing, despite the overwhelming majority of the Jewish community itself rejecting those positions.
Podhoretz and his spouse, Midge Decter, a polemical powerhouse in her own right, created a formidable political team in the 1970s as they deserted the Democratic Party, and then, as leaders of the Committee on the Present Danger - like PNAC a coalition of mainly Jewish, neo-conservatives and more traditional right-wing hawks like Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld - helped lay the foreign-policy foundation for the rise of Ronald Reagan. After Reagan's victory, Decter and Rumsfeld co- chaired the international offshoot of the committee, called the Coalition for the Free World.
Podhoretz is the father of John Podhoretz, a columnist for the Murdoch-owned New York Post, who also acts as a ubiquitous booster of the hawks. And his son-in-law, Elliott Abrams, who held a number of controversial posts in Reagan's State Department and was eventually convicted in the Iran-Contra scandal for lying to Congress, now serves in Bush's National Security Council as his top Middle East adviser.
At Commentary, Podhoretz offered considerable space to such rising lights of the neo-conservative movement as future UN ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick (whose late husband Evron was a long-time collaborator of Irving Kristol); Richard Pipes, a Harvard University Soviet specialist and top Reagan adviser; Pipes' son, Daniel, a staunch Likud supporter who has long argued that Washington has been too complacent about the threat of Islamist radicalism both overseas and at home; and all of the Kristols and Kagans.
Another key Irving Kristol disciple has been Richard Perle, the influential and ultra-hawkish chairman of Rumsfeld's Defence Policy Board, whose main office is at AEI, where PNAC and William Kristol are also based. His spouse is the daughter of his teacher at the University of Chicago, another neo-con hero and strategic thinker who also favoured invading Iraq, the late Alfred Wohlstetter, for whom the AEI conference centre is named. Wohlstetter also taught Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz.
Perle has worked closely in the past with Douglas Feith, Wolfowitz's deputy as undersecretary of defence for policy under Rumsfeld and known as the administration's most ardent Likud supporter.
Feith's father, Dalck, a Philadelphia businessman and philanthropist, was a follower of Betar, the militant Zionist movement that became Likud in Poland in the 1930s.
Perle, Feith, and another AEI "scholar", David Wurmser, and his wife Meyrav, in 1996 co-authored a memorandum for Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu on breaking with the Oslo peace process and transforming the Middle East by working to oust Saddam Hussein, a paper which bears a remarkable resemblance to the ideas set forth in the Sept 20 PNAC letter.
David Wurmser is now a special adviser in the State Department planning for post-invasion Iraq, while Meyrav works with the Middle East Research Institute (MEMRI) that translates and distributes particularly virulent anti-US and anti-Israel articles appearing in the Arab press to key US media and policy- makers.
AEI has been a major nexus for these inter-familial relationships, having served as home to Michael Ledeen, a co- founder with Perle of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) whose wife Barbara is a major player in the rightwing Republican leadership on Capitol Hill; Jeane Kirkpatrick; and Joshua Muravchik, whose father, Emanuel, was also close to Podhoretz as he moved rightward through the 1970s.
Though she doesn't focus much on foreign-policy issues, Lynne Cheney, the vice president's wife, also hangs her hat at AEI, while the vice president's daughter Elizabeth is now serving as deputy secretary of state for near east affairs.
While the Cheneys, unlike the mostly Jewish neo-conservatives who began their political evolution on the left, have always been rock- ribbed, right wing, Rocky Mountain Republicans, it appears that they have joined the larger family or are at least tying their family fortunes together. -Dawn/InterPress News Service.
Blair (like Bush) Influenced to Invade Iraq for Israel
Forwarded:
Hi All,
It is getting very serious as we all know. I was just watching CNN here in Los Angeles, and it was mentioned that Blair is going to go ("poodle") along with the Bush regime even if the second UN Security Council Resolution is vetoed and/or does not get enough votes next week.
So Blair is apparently going to pull a Fait Accompli with the PNAC/JINSA Zionist extremist cabal in the Bush regime which has wanted to invade Iraq for years (well before the tragic World Trade Center attack and before Bush, Jr. got into office as well). CNN also mentioned that Blair would have even more political problems to deal with (as additional Labour MP's will join the rebellion) if he sends British troops to invade Iraq without consulting with Parliament first (and getting an approval vote for such an invasion as I clearly heard it mentioned during that last Iraq debate that such approval would be acquired before any British troops were sent into Iraq). Keep in mind that I am British as well as American, so I am concerned about the potential lives lost of all involved with the coming invasion of Iraq (to include innocent Iraqi civilians as well).
March 17th is the date that we all have to be concerned with as the US/UK will be invading either then or shortly thereafter... Please realize (if you don't already) that many Americans do not support the invasion without UN approval (a recent Gallup poll revealed that only one-third of the US public supports an invasion of Iraq without UN approval, but the US Zionist influenced media is working overtime to persuade public opinion here for war).
The PNAC/JINSA cabal would like to the see the UN made irrelevant because then Israel would not have to finally abide by the numerous UN resolutions that the rogue state has flouted for years... It was also just mentioned on CNN that Israel would not rule out a preemptive strike on Syria which would be right in line with the radical agenda of the PNAC/JINSA cabal which has basically hijacked the Bush regime and is pushing us to its long desired war on Islam (and a potential Clash of Civilizations as Samuel Huntington has proposed) to begin with the invasion of Iraq. I am as secular as it gets but foresee the ramifications (in terms of retaliatory terror attacks against the UK and US) that this coming war on Islam will bring.
America: Wake Up!

The notion that America will be minicking Sharon, a man who exists just one step ahead of the War Crimes’ prosecutors in Belgium’s Justice Ministry, fills me with outrage. Now, I wonder: Was our Revolutionary War and other battles, too, fought and won to bring us to this point of national humiliation?
By William Hughes*
(PalestineChronicle.com) - John Podhoretz is at it again! The Tel Aviv-friendly pundit, crowed in his column, (NY Post, 01/29/03), about the landslide victory of Ariel Sharon’s Likud gang in the recent Israeli election. This was bad enough, but, there was more torture to come.
Podhoretz roared on, “Israel has been forced by historical circumstances to lead the way for America, especially when it comes to militant Islamic terror and the kinds of hard choices a democracy has to make in combatting it.” This is where I wanted to throw up.
What a sad state we are in, when an Israeli shill, like Podhoretz, can prophesy that America will follow the “lead” of Zionist Israel. For a translation to the politically challenged, this will mean that America will be deferring to the oppressive policies of Sharon, whose name will forever be linked to the deaths of the innocent at Deir Yassin; in Lebanon, as a result of Israel’s 1982 invasion; at Sabra and Shatila; and, finally, at Jenin.
The notion that America will be minicking Sharon, a man who exists just one step ahead of the War Crimes’ prosecutors in Belgium’s Justice Ministry, fills me with outrage. Now, I wonder: Was our Revolutionary War and other battles, too, fought and won to bring us to this point of national humiliation? Where are our true patriots? God knows, there are only a handful in the complicit Congress or the Establishment-controlled media.
As for Israel being “a democracy,” don’t believe it! It stands in violation of over 66 Resolutions of the United Nations, including Resolution 242, unanimously adopted on Nov. 22, 1967, which mandated it to vacate the Occupied Territories that belong to the Palestinians.
But, Podhoretz, wasn’t finished yet. Without showing any mercy, he forecasted that, “Israel may be leading the way politically as well.” He added, “Yesterday, the Israeli electorate delivered its verdict on its leaders in the first parliamentary election since the beginning of the suicide-bomb war launched by the Palestinians.” He further insisted, “The tough tactics (read gross human rights violations) adopted by right-wing Premier Ariel Sharon to fight the terror war, were almost universally accepted.” What universe does this guy live in? In Star Trek’s?
Podhoretz, ranting on under a Jerusalem dateline, bragged how the Israeli electorate had “decimated the Left.” Looking into his crystal ball, he predicted the loser fate of the Labor Party in Israel, will be the destiny, too, of the Democrats, unless they “glue themselves to George W. Bush’s side on matters of war and terror.” What a frightening thought! The only thing that could have been worse is if Podhoretz had also announced that his beloved Sharon had been cloned!
Sometimes, you can see yourself better through the eyes of others. Podhoretz may have, unintentionally, done us a huge favor by holding up a mirror that reads: “America will follow Israel!” This could be a wake up call for those that love our country more than any dubious relationship with a so-called “ally,” that viciously attacked the USS Liberty, on June 8, 1967, murdering 34 of our finest sons (Ken Ringle, “Attack on the Liberty,” Washington Post, 02/01/03). If U.S. foreign policy patterns itself after Sharon’s, it will be a sure prescription for national suicide.
Thankfully, we can learn important lessons from our history, especially during the founding of this nation. By December, 1776, General George Washington’s demoralized Continental Army had been pushed off Long Island and Manhattan, too, out of the state of New Jersey, across the Delaware River, and into Pennsylvania, by the seasoned military British forces under Lord William Howe. In a moment of deep despair, Washington, writing to his brother, had said: “The game is pretty near up.”
On the brink of defeat, the immortal Washington could have called it quits. Instead, putting his duty to his countrymen first, he courageously led his army to stunning victories over the British, at Trenton, (12/25/1776), and Princeton, (01/03/1777), that were hailed as a turning point in that eight and one half year conflict (see, Richard M. Ketchum’s compelling “The Winter Soldiers”).
Americans, today, need to remember who they are, where they have come from, and that they live in a Republic that depends on their fully participating in it, in order to reach “the common good.” An attachment to Israel’s ideals is asking for endless, costly wars, including the phony one looming ahead with Iraq, and also for more terrorist attacks on this country. The people must demand that our national interest come first, instead of following Sharon’s lead into Armageddon. If they don’t do so, the game may, indeed, be “pretty near up.”
America: Wake Up!
