Ellsberg Explains Reality of US Foreign Policy to Kristol p1

Daniel Ellsberg spent three years in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving as rifle platoon leader, operations officer, and rifle company commander.
He worked as a strategic analyst at the RAND Corporation and consultant to the Defense Department and the White House.
"His recent essay, "The Next War", featured in the October 2006 issue of Harpers magazine, urges government officials to reveal truths about government secrecy and nuclear planning—with documents—to avert a possible attack on Iran."

"A hidden crisis is under way. Many government insiders are aware of serious plans for war with Iran, but Congress and the public remain largely in the dark." http://harpers.org/archive/2006/10/0081208

it's "divulge"

Iran is not "my enemy", you wanna go fight Iran? Go right ahead. Israel is the only country in the mideast to acquire nukes, Israel is a criminal state.

If Iran were allowed to have nuclear power, we would be able to get more oil at lower prices,..not good for oil company's ,...UNLESS THEY owned the IRANIAN OIL RESERVES,...hence WWIII!

yeah they took 40% of something that would be 100% undiscovered and unexploited without the ingenuity and sweat of american or british oil companies. charismatic or not it would curious to ask everyday iranians whether a radical islamic revolution was more of a political setback than becoming a favored partner and buyer of arms from the worlds greatest country. it is in fact difficult to see why iranians today give a shit. obviously we have contingency plans for any kind of war.

MPA2000 how wrong you are. have you taken a look around. Where are our troops at and being sent? Let me tell you if you are to lazy to look for your self. They are in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Egypt. That's where we have troops since Obama has been in office. Wake up!!! republican or democrat they are one. Do not be mistaken this is nothing more than a puppet show. Each election is meant to distract the mass'es and cause conflict between man. Neither party talks about bringing us together.

The pending war was during the Bush years. Just like the Reagan years his years were spent drumming for war around the world. For oil? I haven't seen any benefit at the gas pump for any wars in the ME or anywhere else. Luckily we have a Democrat in office, so we won't see any more sabre rattling with Iran until another warmonger Republican is back.
