[political-research] Israel > Dick Cheney > Iran War (Eric Margolis)

[Eric Margolis is systematically blacked out in the American mainstream media, even though he is one of the sharpest pundits in the West, because he has committed the unforgivable sin of pointing out the obvious.  There is no mention of oil industry pressure on Cheney in this article, because there is not a shred of evidence that such pressure exists.  There has been no persuasive effort by those promoting the oil industry thesis, like Michael Ruppert, to deal with the facts in the following paragraphs.]
 
[Dick Cheney is closely associated with the PNAC, JINSA and AIPAC.  The neocons are following exactly the same script with Iran that they used with Iraq.  The mainstream media aren't being fooled once, twice and thrice -- they are witting partners in this campaign.  They helped design the scam.]
 
[Why has Cheney become a cog in this political machine?  That is a great mystery.  I don't have a clue.  Perhaps someone else has figured it out.  Surely Cheney must understand that these policies will probably be incredibly damaging to the United States.]
 
 
[Excerpt]
 
Much of the administration’s anti-Iranian jihad has been orchestrated, like the attack on Iraq, by Vice President Dick Cheney, who increasingly emerges as the Rasputin of the Bush presidency. Cheney is very close to Israel’s political far right. He is carrying out former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s command to the US that once it invaded Iraq, `march immediately on Tehran.’
 
Cheney, and the pro-Israel neoconservatives around him, have long worked closely with Israel’s rightists, Mossad intelligence service, and Israel’s strategic planners. All agree that Iran, not Iraq, was the greater enemy of Israel, and one that had at all costs to be crushed before it could develop nuclear warheads and the means to deliver them.
 
Much of the current anti-Iranian hysteria campaign that is currently being trumpeted by the compliant US media and members of Congress is being orchestrated from Cheney’s office. It is clear that in spite of the debacle in Iraq, the vice president intends to pursue his personal jihad against all Muslim regimes that are uncooperative and hostile to Israel.
 
Cheney has persistently frustrated efforts by the US State Department and CIA to improve relations with Tehran. America’s mighty Israel lobby has become Cheney’s personal army in this struggle, and is mounting a high-powered campaign to generate war fever against Iran. Jewish Americans have been panicked by false claims that Israel is in the direst nuclear peril.
