Iraq War Launched to Protect Israel - Bush Adviser
by Emad Mekay

WASHINGTON - IPS uncovered the remarks by Philip Zelikow, who is now the executive director of the body set up to investigate the terrorist attacks on the United States in September 2001 -- the 9/11 commission -- in which he suggests a prime motive for the invasion just over one year ago was to eliminate a threat to Israel, a staunch U.S. ally in the Middle East.

Zelikow's casting of the attack on Iraq as one launched to protect Israel appears at odds with the public position of President George W. Bush and his administration, which has never overtly drawn the link between its war on the regime of former president Hussein and its concern for Israel's security.

The administration has instead insisted it launched the war to liberate the Iraqi people, destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and to protect the United States.

Zelikow made his statements about ”the unstated threat” during his tenure on a highly knowledgeable and well-connected body known as the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB), which reports directly to the president.

He served on the board between 2001 and 2003.

1. Discrepancies Within the Bush Mis-administration..

Will they emerge faster than Rove can cut & paste over them? We have yet to investigate the Chaney Energy Policy. We have yet to uncover just who huddled in "private" with Dick, ready with their buckets and ladles, eager to drink from Chaney's oily gravy train. Bush and his many war profiteers wanted the Iraq Invasion..at any cost and with any amount of "spin" necessary to get themselves from point A to point B. 9-11 was either a bonus or a plan.

We have much to learn..the unraveling will take much time. But I am assured that there are more American Patriots who will continue to seek the truth as there are those traitorous liars who wish to dearly seal there dirty secrets, by claiming them to be "Classified".

With every discrepancy revealed, Bush & Co. remain on the defensive in this election year.
