The neocons' next war
Sidney Blumenthal / Salon.com | August 4 2006
The National Security Agency is providing signal intelligence to Israel
to monitor whether Syria and Iran are supplying new armaments to
Hezbollah as it fires hundreds of missiles into northern Israel,
according to a national security official with direct knowledge of the
operation. President Bush has approved the secret program.
Inside the administration, neoconservatives on Vice President *****
Cheney's national security staff and Elliott Abrams, the
neoconservative senior director for the Near East on the National
Security Council, are prime movers behind sharing NSA intelligence with
Israel, and they have discussed Syrian and Iranian supply activities as
a potential pretext for Israeli bombing of both countries, the source
privy to conversations about the program says. (Intelligence, including
that gathered by the NSA, has been provided to Israel in the past for
various purposes.) The neoconservatives are described as enthusiastic
about the possibility of using NSA intelligence as a lever to widen the
conflict between Israel and Hezbollah and Israel and Hamas into a
four-front war.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is said to have been "briefed" and
to be "on board," but she is not a central actor in pushing the covert
neoconservative scenario. Her "briefing" appears to be an aspect of an
internal struggle to intimidate and marginalize her. Recently she has
come under fire from prominent neoconservatives who oppose her support
for diplomatic negotiations with Iran to prevent its development of
nuclear weaponry.
Rice's diplomacy in the Middle East has erratically veered from
initially calling on Israel for "restraint," to categorically opposing
a cease-fire, to proposing terms for a cease-fire guaranteed to
conflict with the European proposal, and thus to thwarting diplomacy,
prolonging the time available for the Israeli offensive to achieve its
stated aim of driving Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon. But the neocon
scenario extends far beyond that objective to pushing Israel into a
"cleansing war" with Syria and Iran, says the national security
official, which somehow will redeem Bush's beleaguered policy in the
entire region.
In order to try to understand the neoconservative road map, senior
national security professionals have begun circulating among themselves
a 1996 neocon manifesto against the Middle East peace process. Titled
"A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm," its half-dozen
authors included neoconservatives highly influential with the Bush
administration -- Richard Perle, first-term chairman of the Defense
Policy Board; Douglas Feith, former undersecretary of defense; and
David Wurmser, Cheney's chief Middle East aide.
"A Clean Break" was written at the request of incoming Likud Party
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and intended to provide "a new set of
ideas" for jettisoning the policies of assassinated Israeli Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Instead of trading "land for peace," the
neocons advocated tossing aside the Oslo agreements that established
negotiations and demanding unconditional Palestinian acceptance of
Likud's terms, "peace for peace." Rather than negotiations with Syria,
they proposed "weakening, containing, and even rolling back Syria."
They also advanced a wild scenario to "redefine Iraq." Then King
Hussein of Jordan would somehow become its ruler; and somehow this
Sunni monarch would gain "control" of the Iraqi Shiites, and through
them "wean the south Lebanese Shia away from Hezbollah, Iran, and
Syria."
Netanyahu, at first, attempted to follow the "clean break" strategy,
but under persistent pressure from the Clinton administration he felt
compelled to enter into U.S.-led negotiations with the Palestinians. In
the 1998 Wye River accords, concluded through the personal involvement
of President Clinton and a dying King Hussein, the Palestinians agreed
to acknowledge the legitimacy of Israel and Netanyahu agreed to
withdraw from a portion of the occupied West Bank. Further
negotiations, conducted by his successor Ehud Barak, that nearly
settled the conflict ended in dramatic failure, but potentially set the
stage for new ones.
At his first National Security Council meeting, President George W.
Bush stunned his first secretary of state, Colin Powell, by rejecting
any effort to revive the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. When Powell
warned that "the consequences of that could be dire, especially for the
Palestinians," Bush snapped, "Sometimes a show for force by one side
can really clarify things." He was making a "clean break" not only with
his immediate predecessor but also with the policies of his father.
In the current Middle East crisis, once again, the elder Bush's wise
men have stepped forward to offer unsolicited and unheeded advice. (In
private they are scathing.) Edward Djerejian, a former ambassador to
Israel and Syria and now the director of the James Baker Institute at
Rice University, urged on July 23, on CNN, negotiations with Syria and
Iran. "I come from the school of diplomacy that you negotiate conflict
resolution and peace with your enemies and adversaries, not with your
friends," he said. "We've done it in the past, we can do it again."
Charles Freeman, the elder Bush's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, remarked,
"The irony now is that the most likely candidate to back Hezbollah in
the long term is no longer Iran but the Arab Shiite tyranny of the
majority we have installed in Baghdad." Indeed, when Iraqi Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki came to Washington in the last week of July he
preceded his visit with harsh statements against Israel. And in a
closed meeting with U.S. senators, when asked to offer criticism of
Hezbollah, he steadfastly refused.
Richard Haass, the Middle East advisor on the elder Bush's National
Security Council and President Bush's first-term State Department
policy planning director, and now president of the Council on Foreign
Relations, openly scoffed at Bush's Middle East policy in an interview
on July 30 in the Washington Post: "The arrows are all pointing in the
wrong direction. The biggest danger in the short run is it just
increases frustration and alienation from the United States in the Arab
world. Not just the Arab world, but in Europe and around the world.
People will get a daily drumbeat of suffering in Lebanon and this will
just drive up anti-Americanism to new heights." When asked about the
president's optimism, he replied, "An opportunity? Lord, spare me. I
don't laugh a lot. That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.
If this is an opportunity, what's Iraq? A once-in-a-lifetime chance?"
The same day that Haass' comments appeared Brent Scowcroft, the elder
Bush's national security advisor and still his close friend, published
an Op-Ed in the Washington Post written more or less as an open letter
to his erstwhile and errant prot=C3=A9g=C3=A9 Condoleezza Rice. Undoubtedly,
Scowcroft reflects the views of the former President Bush. Adopting the
tone of an instructor to a stubborn pupil, Scowcroft detailed a plan
for an immediate end to the Israel-Hezbollah conflict and for
restarting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, "the source of the
problem." His program is a last attempt to turn the president back to
the ways of his father. If the elder Bush and his team were in power
and following the Scowcroft plan, a cease-fire would have been
declared. But Scowcroft's plan resembles that of the Europeans, already
rejected by the Bush administration, and Rice is the one offering a
counterproposal that has put diplomacy into a stall.
Despite Rice's shunning of the advice of the Bush I sages, the
neoconservatives have made her a convenient target in their effort to
undermine all diplomatic initiatives. "Dump Condi," read the headline
in the right-wing Insight Magazine on July 25. "Conservative national
security allies of President Bush are in revolt against Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice, saying that she is incompetent and has reversed
the administration's national security and foreign policy agenda," the
article reported. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a member of the
Defense Policy Board, was quoted: "We are sending signals today that no
matter how much you provoke us, no matter how viciously you describe
things in public, no matter how many things you're doing with missiles
and nuclear weapons, the most you'll get out of us is talk."
A month earlier, Perle, in a June 25 Op-Ed in the Washington Post,
revived an old trope from the height of the Cold War, accusing those
who propose diplomacy of being like Neville Chamberlain, the British
prime minister who tried to appease Hitler. "Condoleezza Rice," wrote
Perle, "has moved from the White House to Foggy Bottom, a mere mile or
so away. What matters is not that she is further removed from the Oval
Office; Rice's influence on the president is undiminished. It is,
rather, that she is now in the midst of and increasingly represents a
diplomatic establishment that is driven to accommodate its allies even
when (or, it seems, especially when) such allies counsel the
appeasement of our adversaries."
Rice, agent of the nefarious State Department, is supposedly the enemy
within. "We are in the early stages of World War III," Gingrich told
Insight. "Our bureaucracies are not responding fast enough. We don't
have the right attitude."
Confused, ineffectual and incapable of filling her office with power,
Rice has become the voodoo doll that Powell was in the first term. Even
her feeble and counterproductive gestures toward diplomacy leave her
open to the harshest attacks from neoconservatives. Scowcroft and the
Bush I team are simply ignored. The sustained assault on Rice is a
means to an end -- restoring the ascendancy of neoconservatism.
Bush's rejection of and reluctance to embrace the peace process
concluded with the victory of Hamas in the Palestinian elections. This
failure was followed by a refusal to engage Hamas, potentially
splitting its new governmental ministers from its more radical
leadership in Damascus. Predictably, the most radical elements of Hamas
found a way to lash out. And Hezbollah seized the moment by staging its
own provocation.
Having failed in the Middle East, the administration is attempting to
salvage its credibility by equating Israel's predicament with the U.S.
quagmire in Iraq. Neoconservatives, for their part, see the latest risk
to Israel's national security as a chance to scuttle U.S. negotiations
with Iran, perhaps the last opportunity to realize the fantasies of "A
Clean Break."
By using NSA intelligence to set an invisible tripwire, the Bush
administration is laying the condition for regional conflagration with
untold consequences -- from Pakistan to Afghanistan, from Iraq to
Israel. Secretly devising a scheme that might thrust Israel into a ring
of fire cannot be construed as a blunder. It is a deliberate,
calculated and methodical plot.=20
