Iran Threatens Retaliation for Neocon Kidnap and Murder Campaign
Like a meth lab situated out in the boonies and ignored by the local police and newspaper, the bastard child of Douglas Feith’s Office of Special Plans, the Iran-Syria Operations Group, operates with impunity.
“Abram Shulsky, the neocon’s neocon, a scholar of Leo Strauss and Machiavelli, who has written about the application of Strauss’s thought to intelligence, is back,” Gary Leupp wrote nearly a year ago. Leupp went on to note the creation of the Office of Iranian Affairs (OIA), “apparently housed in the same Pentagon offices inhabited by its predecessor and involving some of the same slimy personnel,” including Abram Shulsky, head of the OSP under Douglas Feith, who reports to Elizabeth Cheney, who in turn answers to her father and his taskmasters, the Straussian neocons.
It didn’t take long for Cheney and the newly christened OIA to spawn the Iran-Syria Operations Group, designed “to encourage regime change in Iran,” that is to say covertly attack Iran.
“It’s no secret that Cheney has over $80 million at her disposal to promote democracy in Iran. But ISOG isn’t simply about promoting democracy. It’s about helping to craft official policy, doing so not with one but two countries in its sights, and creating a policymaking apparatus that parallels—and skirts—Foggy Bottom’s suspect Iran desk,” Lawrence F. Kaplan wrote last April for the New Republic Online. Of course, for the neocons, “democracy” translates into the sort of engineered chaos currently underway in Iraq—a social deconstruction on tap for the entire Muslim and Arab world.
