September 11 Commission Report - Gnostic Liberation Front

"Bill Kristol, (is) one of the most sought-after political commentators in the US, editor of The Weekly
Standard, and President of The Project for a New American Century. In his talk, entitled “US Foreign
Policy after 9-11: The Bush Doctrine,” Kristol declared that “for the US, the world really changed on
September 11. We are no longer prepared to rely mainly on negotiations, trade pressures, arms control
regimes and international institutions in order to solve critical world problems. The Israeli operation
against the Iraqi nuclear reactor in Osirak is our new paradigm. Time is not on our side. We need to act
soon, act preemptively, and act alone if necessary. Osirak is now the model of how foreign policy has
to be conducted,” said Kristol. “Indeed, today the US is committed to forcing regime change in Iran,
Iraq, and North Korea,” continued Kristol “We will be much more aggressive in pursuing this goal; no
longer are we content to wait for history to work things through. Unfortunately, Europe does not yet
seem to understand our new world. They wish to return to pre-September 2001 rules.” [Begin –Sadat
Center For Strategic Studies, May 2002 No. 14 ]
"Later in the year, Bush's influential advisor Richard Perle states, “No stages. This is total war. We are
fighting a variety of enemies. There are lots of them out there. All this talk about first we are going to
do Afghanistan, then we will do Iraq … this is entirely the wrong way to go about it. If we just let our
vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely and we don't try to piece together clever
diplomacy, but just wage a total war … our children will sing great songs about us years from now.”
[New Statesman, December 16, 2002]
While the praises for the victory of democracy in these conquered countries of
Afghanistan and Iraq are sung by the Bush administration, those who visit these countries
are aware of the realities of this new policy, which do little to change the ways these
countries operate:
"Apart from notional freedoms, little has changed. The warlords installed to power by America are as
bad as the Taliban, terrorising whole communities, and ensuring that 90 per cent of Afghan women
remained oppressed and that pledges of Western reconstruction aid remain empty promises."[The
Betrayal Of Afghanistan, John Pilger, The Guardian, November 22,2003]
The background of many of these key policy players however, suggests they are far more
interested in the security of Israel than that of the US. Two of the key architects of this
group – Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz- have a well documented (both Congressional
and FBI investigations) past of being alleged agents for the Israeli government, and have
been directly responsible for the employment by US Policy making groups (Office of
Special Plans- OSP) of at least four other similarly documented and alleged agents of
Israel: Douglas J. Feith (Undersecretary of Defense for Policy), Lawrence Franklin
(currently under investigation by the FBI as being a potential Israeli spy), Michael
Ledeen and Dr. Stephen Bryen. Lawrence Franklin works in an office overseen by
Douglas J. Feith, the Defense Undersecretary for Policy. Feith is an influential aide to
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Also included in this list is Dr. Rabbi Dov
Zakheim, who at the time was acting as chief-financial officer for the Department of
Defense. A signer of the “Pearl Harbor” statement and an original member of the
PNAC, Dr. Dov Zakheim’s personal and family’s significant involvement in Yeshivat
Sha’alvim is a clear demonstration of his loyalties. "Sha'alvim is a dynamic and
comprehensive educational community where … students are imbued with …an abiding
commitment to the People and the State of Israel.”[www.shaalvim.org]
From all available evidence it was these “unofficial” political advisers organized by
Wolfowitz, Feith and Rumsfeld in the US Office of Special Planning (OSP) who were the
