Israel Marches to the Drums of PNAC

It appears the Neocons are very much alive and PNAC’s demise has been highly overrated.  Judging from the current circumstance it looks like the Neocon’s have decided to use the Israeli “escalation and incursion gambit” into Lebanon, Syria and finally Iran to complete their PNAC agenda.

 I can only assume the U.S. is going to allow Israel to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities after they’ve reduced the danger of possible counter strikes from both Hezbollah and Hammas by their increasingly ferocious incursions. Although at first glance this would appear to run counter to the U.S.’s divide and conquer strategy in Iraq and might possibly unite the Arab and Shia factions, this would be an unlikely outcome since Saudi Arabia appears to be following the PNAC agenda and still considers Iran to be the main threat. Also because it appears the U.S.’s plans of sectarian division are irreversible due to the horrendous slaughter.  However this gambit does run the risk of severely diminishing what little popular support pro U.S. regimes such as Egypt and the Gulf states’ still enjoy.

The Israeli incursions are not as efficient as having another “fortuitous incident” in the U.S. to provide the pretext for a sudden all out assault against Iran, which would allow both Israel and the U.S. to combine their forces against that country.  Tactically this would be the better option, especially for Bush’s “regime change” scenario. But  it’s quite possible to combine the two gambits, steady pressure against Iran with potential small strikes by Israel, than when an “incident” happens, Iran will be blamed for their 'retaliatation' and both the U.S. and Israel will strike.

If Israel follows through with an attack on Iran without U.S. participation however we will all be looking foward to several years of war.  This would not be within Israel’s interest.

Many have denounced Sharon for playing his part in the PNAC agenda, but what one must realize is that he had actually taken a 180 degree turn from the Bush/PNAC doctrine of “imposing democracy by force” across the Middle East. Instead he appeared to have recognized a two state solution as being the preferred option, enforced by his policy of “disengagement” and “separation wall”.  In other words he was doing the exact opposite of what the Texas Cabal and PNAC authors intended - he was withdrawing.  His policies were so controversial that he had to leave the Likud party and start his own.

I’m very confused as to why no one has pointed this out

Unfortunately for Sharon, the Middle East and Israel, but fortunately for the Texas Cabal, the U.S.’s Military-Industry-Oil complex and PNAC’s sponsors, Sharon has been permanently incapacitated by a stroke which in the opinion of some may have been caused by the use of an overly strong blood thinner proscribed by two American doctors.

It’s been reported that the Israeli military operations had been in the works for many months. Therefore the preparation for these operations would have taken place before Ehud Olmert was elected in March of 2006, but sometime after Sharon's stroke.

And so the PNAC ‘plan’, which appeared to be hitting the rocks is now back on track.
