[Nettime-nl] NL steun aan oorlog tegen Iran,Syrie: |
The war was going well, said Richard Perle, chairman of the Pentagon's Defence Advisory Board. There were more anti-war demonstrators in San Francisco than Iraqis willing to defend their leader. The "coalition of the willing" was growing. The fall of Mr Hussein would be an "inspiration" for Iranians seeking to be free of their dictatorial mullahs, Mr Perle said. While not speaking for the administration, such voices reflect the views of the hawkish faction in the government - including Dick Cheney, vice-president, Donald Rumsfeld, defence secretary, and Paul Wolfowitz, his deputy - now in the ascendancy. Michael Ledeen, a former Reagan administration official and author of The War Against the Terror Masters, said this conflict was part of a "longer war" and such terrorist-sponsors as Iran and Syria knew that. France and Germany insisted on "shoring up tyrannical regimes". Anti-war demonstrators had reached "new lows of disgustingness". http://search.ft.com/search/article.html?id=030322001128&query=HAWKS&vsc_app Id=quickSearch&offset=0&resultsToShow=10&vsc_subjectConcept=&vsc_companyConc ept=&state=More&vsc_publicationGroups=TOPWFT&searchCat=-1 ______________________________________________________ * Verspreid via nettime-nl.
