Rumsfeld on tape: calls for false terror attack

Rumsfeld On Tape: Terror Attack Could Restore Neo-Con Agenda
Former Defense Secretary's conversation with military analysts on
political problems - "The Correction For That...Is An Attack"
Shocking excerpts of confidential recordings recently released under
the Freedom of Information Act feature former Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld talking with top military analysts about how a
flagging Neo-Con political agenda could be successfully restored with
the aid of another terrorist attack on America.
The tape also includes a conversation where Rumsfeld and the military
analysts agree on the possible necessity of installing a brutal
dictator in Iraq to oversee U.S. interests.
The tapes were released as part of the investigation into the
Pentagon's "message force multipliers" program in which top military
analysts were hired to propagandize for the Iraq war in the corporate
media.
In attendance at the valedictory luncheon Rumsfeld hosted on December
12, 2006 were David L. Grange, Donald W. Sheppard, James Marks, Rick
Francona, Wayne Downing, and Robert H. Scales, Jr. among others.
The most extraordinary exchange takes place when Lt. Gen. Michael
DeLong bemoans shrinking political support for Neo-Con war plans on
Capitol Hill and suggests that sympathy for the Bush administration's
agenda will only be achieved after a new terror attack.
Rumsfeld agrees that the psychological impact of 9/11 is wearing off
and the "behavior pattern" of citizens in both the U.S. and Europe
suggests that they are unconcerned about the threat of terror.
DELONG: Politically, what are the challenges because you're not going
to have a lot of sympathetic ears up there until it [a terror attack]
happens.
RUMSFELD: That's what I was just going to say. This President's
pretty much a victim of success. We haven't had an attack in five
years. The perception of the threat is so low in this society that
it's not surprising that the behavior pattern reflects a low threat
assessment. The same thing's in Europe, there's a low threat
perception. The correction for that, I suppose, is an attack. And
when that happens, then everyone gets energized for another
[inaudible] and it's a shame we don't have the maturity to recognize
the seriousness of the threats...the lethality, the carnage, that can
be imposed on our society is so real and so present and so serious
that you'd think we'd be able to understand it, but as a society, the
longer you get away from 9/11, the less...the less...

In another exchange, after assuring that comments are "off the
record," Rumsfeld and one of the military analysts agree that Iraq
could use a "Syngman Rhee" to take control of Iraq. Syngman Rhee was
the ruthless authoritarian dictator of South Korea from after World
War II through the Korean War to 1960. If the invasion of Iraq was
about liberating the Iraqis from a tyrant in the form of Saddam
Hussein why is Rumsfeld talking about installing an even more brutal
dictator?

Rumsfeld's admission that the correction for dwindling support of the
Neo-Con imperial crusade is another terror attack is perhaps the most
startling and blatant indication that 9/11 was an inside job.
How much more evidence do we need to confirm that the Neo-Con
hierarchy in control of the U.S. government are instigating and
exploiting terror in the pursuit of their own domestic and
geopolitical agenda?
As Jerry Mazza writes today, "In the seven years since the day,
exhaustive and still growing evidence proves beyond any reasonable
doubt that the US government, spearheaded by the Bush administration,
planned, orchestrated and executed the 9/11 false flag operation. As
openly advocated by wide swaths of elites, from the Project for the
New American Century (PNAC), of which Rumsfeld has been a member, to
the likes of Zbigniew Brzezinski (in his The Grand Chessboard), only
an attack on the order of Pearl Harbor would, in Brzezinskis
words, cause the American people to support an imperial
mobilization, and a world war."
Placing the new evidence against previously revealed 9/11-related
acts on the part of Rumsfeld, his guilt is overt and obvious. Recall
that it was Rumsfeld who enthusiastically penned the "Go Massive"
memo, gleefully declaring the Bush administration finally had the
green light to kill: Not only UBL (Usama bin Laden). Go massive.
Sweep it all up. Things related and not.
The longing for a new terror attack to corral the masses back behind
the Neo-Con agenda is a shared fetish amongst Neo-Cons, policy wonks
and academics alike.
In August last year Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky
openly called for "another 9/11" that "would help America" restore a
"community of outrage and national resolve".
Lt.-Col. Doug Delaney, chair of the war studies program at the Royal
Military College in Kingston, Ontario, told the Toronto Star last
July that "The key to bolstering Western resolve is another terrorist
attack like 9/11 or the London transit bombings of two years ago."
The same sentiment was also explicitly expressed in a 2005 GOP memo,
which yearned for new attacks that would "validate" the President's
war on terror and "restore his image as a leader of the American
people."
Also in July 2007, former Republican Senator Rick Santorum suggested
that a series of "unfortunate events," namely terrorist attacks, will
occur within the next year and change American citizen's perception
of the war.
And the month before that, the new chairman of the Arkansas
Republican Party Dennis Milligan said that there needed to be more
attacks on American soil for President Bush to regain popular approval.
Comments posted on the left-wing Huffington Post website in response
to the Rumsfeld tape indicate that even some of the most hardcore
conspiracy debunkers have had their beliefs shaken to the core by the
former Defense Secretary's admission.
"I have been a very staunch opponent of conspiracy theories," writes
one, "but to hear the man most responsible for stopping foreign
threats to American lives musing that a successful attack on the USA
is somehow a "cure" for us... it almost makes me want to make a
tinfoil hat with the nuts I made fun of."
