In 1996, Richard Perle and Doug Feith joined a small group of researchers
who were asked to help Benjamin Netanyahu in his first steps as prime
minister. They could not have known that four years later that the working
paper they prepared, including plans for Israel to help restore the
Hashemite throne in Iraq, would shed light on the current policies of the
only superpower in the world. The document, prepared by the Institute for
Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, with offices in Washington and
Jerusalem, appears at the institute's Web site,
http://www.israeleconomy.org/strat1.htm, and has been mentioned in the
American press.
The current Israeli and Iraqi connection, and the key role Feith and Perle
play in the Bush administration, make the document a treasure trove. Perle
heads the Defense Department's Policy Board and is considered one of the
most important strategic thinkers in the American establishment. Feith is
the deputy defense minister - No. 3 in the Pentagon's hierarchy. The
document presents an ambitious plan for a "U.S.-Israeli partnership based
on self-reliance, maturity and mutuality - not one focused narrowly on
territorial disputes."
The new partnership drawn up by Perle, Feith and five other researchers,
has interests in all sorts of directions in the region…
