Woolsey Watch: If It's Monday, It Must be Iran



The Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the Committee on the Present Danger, two front organizations in the neoconservative network, will try and move a "military strike" against Iran a notch closer tomorrow.

Monday morning, 9:30 a.m., in SC-6 of the U.S. Capitol, war-profiteer and former CIA Director R. James Woolsey will be joined by former RNC Spokesman and President for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies President Clifford May and Arizona Senator (and staunch supporter of the recess appointed John Bolton) Jon Kyl to help roll out public opinion research that allegedly states that Americans support military action against Iran and its alleged nuclear weapons program.

Some may try and laugh this off -- but it's no funny matter.

James Woolsey successfully master-minded the mass communication fiction that Saddam Hussein was connected to the 9/11/2001 al Qaeda attacks in New York and Washington by alleging that connection on major news stations on the day America was under siege. And while connecting Iraq to America's new terror problem, Woolsey failed to disclose that he was assisting his legal client Ahmed Chalabi who had everything to gain from a war against terror that included Iraq.

Woolsey & Co. are at it again on Iran.

2. Recommend clicking on the link for "Committee for the Present Danger."

Senator Lieberman is Honorary Co-Chairman. I remember when he and Senator Bayh were the Honorary Co-Chairmen for The Committee to Liberate Iraq. Seems Bayh is taking a pass this time. Could it perhaps be because he is planning to run for the Dem nomination in 2008.

3. I remember Lieberman's invovlement

he is a neo-con and anyone who doesn't see it is blind. Bayh is an honorary member as well as a few more DLCers.
