TB: Since I saw you last week, there has been one more uprising in Iran. Because Obama wants to make a deal with the regime. All the people who have been saying be nice to Iran, don't criticize Iran, avoid conflict with Iran, are making a military war more likely. Because if in the end Iran has the bomb, we are left with the Sarkozy Option:
The civil unrest in Iran is being directed by a secret cabal of intellectuals in the United States, or so the Islamic regime would like the world to believe. Defendants in the show trials under way in Tehran are being given the third degree over their links to foreign masterminds. The chief prosecutor is asking defendants questions such as, "Were you sent by Michael Ledeen? What did Michael Ledeen tell you to do?" Another was told flat out, "You are an agent of Michael Ledeen!" The universal response has been, "Michael who?
[Michael Ledeen]: They have these surprising things. It's an odd sort of dictatorship. Every now and then things filter out that you wouldn't expect to filter out. For example, they conducted their own opinion poll two or three years ago. It was carried out by someone in the information ministry.
Anav Silverman (BDN June 13 OpEd, "Nakba Day is a disastrous tactic for Middle East peace") was born in Jerusalem and has lived in Israel since 2004. She is not a young innocent from Calais writing naively about Israel. She is a propagandist for a particularly unpleasant brand of Zionism committed to keeping the Palestinians powerless and stripped of water and land that belongs to them. She writes for the Jewish Policy Center, a conservative American think tank that promotes a Zionist state free of Palestinians. Its board is comprised of leading neoconservatives including David Horowitz, Michael Ledeen and Norman Podhoretz. She also works and writes for the Sderot Media Center which pays journalists to visit Sderot and listen to propaganda justifying Israeli treatment of Palestinians.
WASHINGTON, May 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. veterans were shocked and dismayed that the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) refused to publish retractions, corrections or responses to an article by Michael Ledeen published in the April, 2010 edition of VFW Magazine. Three veterans--hailing from different parts of America--provided timely input, corrections, concerns, and supported multiple letters to the editor--which Richard K. Kolb refused to print in the May edition. According to Dr. Sam K. Abul Haj of Ventura, CA, a highly decorated former chief surgeon and pathology consultant of Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Michael Ledeen's "Iran's 'Foreign Legion' Takes on America" was "riddled with serious misrepresentations." Ledeen stated: "Although relatively small in numbers--total man...
In mid-October, Adelson and other key donors spent two days at a private Washington forum on radical Islam and the "Iranian threat," a hush-hush Freedom's Watch project aiming to lay the groundwork for a more aggressive U.S. policy toward Tehran, (AEI scholar Michael Ledeen, who was there, says Adelson urged the assembled activists and conservative terrorism experts to work together, stressing that his group had ample cash for projects in these areas.) The day before, Adelson had been part of an RJC gathering where the major GOP candidates competed to demonstrate their tough stance toward Iran; Rudy Giuliani, for whom Adelson had earlier hosted a fundraiser in Las Vegas, emerged as the clear favorite. Steve Grossman, a longtime friend who has helmed both the Democratic National Committ...
Michael Ledeen sets his central theme with a quote from "The Generous Gambler" by Baudelaire: "[The Devil] avowed to me that he had been afraid, relatively as to his proper power, once only, once only, and that was on the day when he had heard a preacher .. cry in his pulpit:'My dear brethren, do not ever forget. When you hear the progress of Enlightenment praised, that the loveliest trick of the Devil is to persuade you that he does not exist.' That, Mr. Ledeen thinks, is precisely the problem with our relationship with Iran and the extremists of the Middle East. They openly swear to destroy us, as did the Nazis, fascists and communists, their 20th-century predecessors. To that end, Mr. Ledeen writes, they have actively supplied Iraqi and Afghan insurgents with training and weaponry, ...
Among the neoconservatives who have prospered-at least until recently-in the George W. Bush administration are Paul Wolfowitz, former Deputy Secretary of Defense, whose obsequiousness toward President Bush was exceeded only by his reputation for craftiness; former Assistant Secretary of Defense in the Reagan administration Richard Perle, who resigned as chair, and later as a member, of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board, and who has received large profits as a lobbyist; former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith; Elliott Abrams, a well-known figure from the Reagan era who was convicted and later pardoned on charges related to the Iran-Contra scandal and now is a central player as deputy national security adviser (see story p. 10); and ideologue Michael Ledeen, who basica...
YOU KNOW THAT FEELING people get when they drive past a car accident? It's clear that the wreckage is terrifying, but they can't bring themselves to look away. That's how I felt wandering into DePaul University's Cortelyou Commons on a rainy Chicago night in midOctober to attend "War With Iran?" Organized by the DePaul Conservative Alliance (DCA), this panel presentation kicked off the university's opening contribution to Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week (IFAW), a nationwide campaign sponsored by the David Horowitz Freedom Center. For some masochistic reason, I had to see this wingnut carnival for myself. To describe the evening's panelists as wacky would be an understatement. Amir Abbas Fakhravar is a self-proclaimed "Iranian student dissident leader," who has been embraced by neoconserva...

Yet everywhere you turn, on every channel and in every newspaper, there's some politician or journalist using that word to describe another country: enemy. John McCain bashes Barack Obama for appeasing "the enemy" (he means Iran). Writing in the Wall Street Journal, also about Obama and Iran, Joe Lieberman sniped: "Too many Democrats seem to have become confused about the difference between America's friends and America's enemies." After 9/11, self-loathing, gay, neoconservative blogger Andrew Sullivan called opponents of the Bush administration "the enemy within the West itself-a paralyzing, pseudo-clever, morally nihilist fifth column." The Bush administration even incorporates in a term it invented, found nowhere in U.S. or international law, to describe its political pris...
