Neocon war plotter indicted
He told one too many lies, and now he has been caught. The five-count indictment of Irving Lewis ("Scooter") Libby, the vice president's chief of staff, throws a bright spotlight on the dark recesses of the White House and offers a glimpse of some of the rat-like activity now going on in this fetid cesspool. As a leading neoconservative, Libby was Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, with such extraordinary influence that he was given the unprecedented privilege of sitting in on presidential cabinet meetings. In addition to his portfolio with the vice president, Libby also held the post of adviser to the president as well as that of special adviser on national security affairs. Libby also headed a shadowy White House group created for the express purpose preparing and conditioning the American public for the invasion of Iraq. Working in tandem with the notorious Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith over at the Pentagon, the cabal sought to manufacture bogus "evidence" to justify its planned invasion. The
ambition of the neoconservatives to launch a war in the Middle East
goes back to an announcement of its plans in a 1992 published policy
document entitled "Project for a New American Century."
The paper outlined the global and regional goals of a projected U.S.-Israeli
empire and formed the basis for a group of the same name, which thereupon
set about implementing its agenda. They lied, and now over 2,000 American servicemen—as well as upwards of 100,000 Iraqi civilians—have died!
