2015-04-12 US: Coup d'Estat led to a series of wars in the middle-east over the past two decades
===================
[via Anonymous Berlin]
Video and transcript of a speech by former NATO Commander Wesley
Clark, recounting the origins of the US military operations in the
middle-east over the past two decades. Clark describes it as a coup
d'etat following 9/11, by Cheney and his associates. The intense German
interest in the subject stems from current war-mongering by the US in
Europe, epitomized by the Infamous leaked phone call by US diplomat
Victoria Nuland: " 'Fuck the EU".

«It is interesting what four-star General Wesley Clark, who at least
once was Commander [1] NATO, already in 2007, during a lecture [2] at
the American think tank» Commonwealth Club of California «[3],
manifests. The interested listener learns so, for example, quite
casually, the today mentioned US wars, on plans of the US Department of
defense in 1991 to go back. Excuse me? One of the former senior US
generals in the Pentagon a clairvoyant? Hardly! «In the context of these
statements by U.S. President Barack Obama [4] and by George Friedman
[5], head of the influential U.S. think tank» STRATFOR «.»[6] the
statement of the former NATO commander Clark, that is almost 8 years
old, ever been part of a broad public debate in Europe, or in the
Federal Republic? Our thanks at this point Germany Russia, where we have
taken over by translation and the transcript in German to the
statements of Wesley Clark's.

And
what happened on 11 September 2001 because no (action) strategy, we had
no agreement between the two parties about how, there was no consensus
to do so in American society.
Instead, we had a political coup in this country, a coup, a political coup d'etat.
Some ice cold, hardened people have torn the US foreign policy in itself, and they have never made the effort to inform us.
Ten days after 9/11 I was in the Pentagon. I could not stay away from
army of the mother. I went there to see Donald Rumsfeld, I had worked
for him in the White House in the 1970s, I wrote it down in my book.
And I got to the "Do you cope with CNN?" and he told him "Yes, Yes,
Yes, said everything well." He then said "I think about it, I read your
book". This book is told about Kosovo campaign. He said, "I wanted to
just tell you, no one will tell you where or when we can bomb, nobody."
He then said "I am considering to call me as a"floating Coalition", what
do you think about?" And I replied: "well, Sir, thank you, that you
have read my book" And he said: "Thank you, the time is up, which I have
left for you." So he said!
Then I went down the stairs and was
about to leave the Pentagon, and an officer of the "United staff" (Joint
Chiefs of staff) called me into his Office and said to me: "I want to
tell you, Sir, we intend to attack the Iraq." And I said: 'Why?' He
said: "We don't know." I said: "you want to bring Saddam in connection
with 9/11?" He said, 'No'.
He said: "I guess they don't know what
to do with terrorism, but they can attack countries and they want to
look heavily. I suppose they think that if they get a country, that will
intimidate the terrorists. And, you know that old saying, which States
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem must become an
iron nail."
Then I went out, I was quite confused and out of
sorts, and then we attacked Afghanistan. I was very happy and pleased,
because we should do that.
And then, about six weeks later, I
went back to the Pentagon, I met the same officer, I said to him: "Why
we did not attack the Iraq?" He said: "we have to attack before the
Iraq. Oh, Sir, it's worse than that." And then he took a paper from his
desk and said to me: "I have just these wish list get the Office of the
Secretary of Defense, and here is: we will attack 7 countries and
overthrow their Governments within 5 years."
"We will start with
the Iraq, and then we take Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, the Sudan and
the Iran, seven countries in five years."
I said: "This document
is classified?" He said: "Yes, Sir." I said: "Then you don't show me."
He was already going to show it to me, because I wanted to talk about
this. And I have to keep this information for a long time for me, talked
to no one about 6 or 8 months. I was paralyzed as a result, I could
talk about it with anyone. And I could not believe that this may be the
truth, but it is really what would happen later.
These people have taken over the control of policy in the United States.
I then realized I was remembering when I had a meeting with Paul
Wolfowitz in 1991. So you know, he was in 2001 the Deputy Defense
Minister of the United States, but in 1991, he was Secretary of State at
the Ministry of defence, which is the third most important position in
the Pentagon.
And I went to him, to see him, at that time I was
still one-star General and commanded the national training center, I met
him once at the time, and he told me z: "If you ever will be in
Washington, you can visit me there."
So, when I was in
Washington, it was a Friday afternoon, I went to Colin Powell, he took 5
minutes of his valuable time for me, and then he left me alone. I got
bored at the Pentagon, and I thought to myself, I'm looking around
there, whom I can speak. I thought I'd talk to Wolfowitz. I signed up
with him, he was just to talk. Lewis "Scooter" Libby opened the door, I
met him for the first time, and he brought me to Paul Wolfowitz.
It is the year of 1991. And I said to Paul: "Lord you must be very happy
Secretary, with the operation"Desert Storm"our troops in Iraq."
And he said: "Yes, actually, Yes, but not quite. Because the truth is,
we should rid Saddam Hussein actually, what we have not done but. And
that was just after the Shiite uprising in March 1991, the we have
provoked and then we have held back our troops and have not intervened."
And he said: "but one thing we have learned this: we have learned that
we our troops in the region of the Middle East can insert and the
Soviets no longer stop us."
He said: "we have about five or ten
years time have to eliminate all the Soviet clientele regime: the Iran,
Syria, Iraq,-before the next great superpower challenging us."
And it was like... I came from the Mohave desert, where I trained U.S.
troops, I have forgotten at that time for a while to think
geo-strategically.
And all of a sudden a guy there with this
thing! Well, remember, it was a pretty amazing thing, I mean, that is
the purpose of the military is to start the war to depose the
Government, to settle conflicts not and to pacify.
We were here
to invade countries and you know, I was dizzy from all this. And I put
that to the side. It is a lump of gold have been similar, holding. This
land was acquired by a group of people in a political coup. That was
Wolfowitz and Cheney and Rumsfeld, and it can call other collaborators
half a dozen of the "project for the new American century".

They wanted to destabilize the Middle East, put it on the head to make
it under our control. It's back to those comments by 1991. And now,
anyone you talk about it? There is a national dialogue on this issue?
The senators and members of Congress about stood up and denounced this
plan? There was a detailed American debate about? Absolutely not! And
don't they always still exist! And that is the reason why we failed in
the Iraq, because the Iran US Syria know all about this plan. All you
need to do is to read only the weekly standard and to hear Bill Kristol.
He talked out about it for the whole world. The same applies to Richard
Perle.
She could hardly wait until they are ready to immediately
afterwards to invade Syria in the Iraq. It was established as: "Oh, our
legions are there to invade!" This was not what the American people
George Bush have been elected President. Well, they actually do not
(mostly) voted for him, but it was not what many people he expected and
what he has promised.
Bush has advertised in his campaign for modest
U.S. foreign policy, but with him, we had the most arrogant US foreign
policy in the entire history of the United States. He promised to
abandon the U.S. foreign policy of "Nation-building" and "Peace
missions". And here he is with his Iraq and Afghanistan. Amazing!
So, so lies not in the root of the problem, you believe me how many
troops we deploy in the Iraq, please! Be not angry on your democratic
congressmen, if you are a Democrat - because they can not reduce the
troops in Iraq and thus frustrate the President.
It is not the
problem. And if you're a Republican, you don't be angry to the
Democrats, because they get upset because of the many troops in Iraq.
Regardless of whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, if you're an
American, you should be worried about the strategy of the United States
in this area. What is our goal there, what are our intentions there, why
are we there, why die Americans in this region? That's the problem.
Dear bloggers and Internet users. Please share this post restated in
the Internet, in forums and blogs, and of course on VKontakte, Facebook
and Twitter. Right now, it is important that we can not fool us the
German lies press and establish a reasonable counter public.
