The blueprint for the new Bush policy had actually been drawn up five years earlier by three of his top national security advisors. Soon to be appointed to senior administration positions, they were Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and David Wurmser. Ironically, the plan was originally intended not fur Bush but for another world leader, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.At the time, the three officials were out of government and working for conservative pro-Israeli think tanks. Perle and Feith had previously served in high-level Pentagon positions during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. In a very unusual move, the former — and future — senior American officials were acting as a sort of American privy council to the new Israeli prime minister. The Perle task force to advise Netanyahu was set up by the Jerusalem-based Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studied, where Wurmser was working.
A key part of the plan was to get the United States to pull out of peace negotiations and simply let Israel take care of the Palestinians as it saw fit. "Israel," said the report, "can manage its own affairs. Such self-reliance will grant Israel greater freedom of action and remove a significant lever of pressure used against it in the past."
Oi, das war mir neu, dass das für Netanyahu gedacht war, und dass die teilweise sogar in Israel saßen, die Think Tanks.Das Buch schreibt weiter, dass der Plan vorsah, Iraq plattzumachen und eine Marionette Israels als Regierungschef zu installieren, und dann Syrien anzugreifen, und die Araber in der Gegend Schritt für Schritt "zurück zu rollen". Libanon sollte natürlich auch unprovoziert angegriffen werden, das ist ja jetzt sozusagen geschehen.
The recommendation of Feith, Perle, and Wurmser was for Israel to once again invade Lebanon with air strikes. But this time, to counter potentially hostile reactions from the American government and public, they suggested using a pretext. They would claim that the purpose of the invasion was to halt "Syria's drug money and counterfeiting infrastructure" located there. They were subjects in which Israel had virtually no interest, but they were ones, they said, "with which America can sympathize."Another way to win American support for a preemptive war against Syria, they suggested, was by "drawing attention to its weapons of mass destruction program." The claim would be that Israel's war was really all about protecting Americans from drugs, counterfeit bills, and WMD - nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
Geht noch weiter, aber ich denke mal, ihr könnt euch denken in welche Richtung. Interessantes Detail am Rande: in dem Papier haben sie sogar Reden für Netanyahu geschrieben, die er dann im Fernsehen halten kann, um diesen Massenmord zu rechtfertigen. Diese Reden hat dann Bush gehalten, allerdings Irak statt Syrien und USA statt Israel.
