Who would Benefit from a War with Iran?

The Iran Policy Committee: Consultants for War

by John Stanton

The Iran Policy Committee (IPC)   made the news in February of 2005 when it released a report titled:

“ US Options for Iran .” (www.iranpolicycommittee.org ).

In its report, the IPC recommended that a terrorist group known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK) be removed from the US government’s hit list (See:  www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/fs/37191.htm ).

The authors of the IPC report had equated the terrorist MEK with the African National Congress (ANC) that fought long and hard against the all-white South African regime and its US supporters so many years ago. Of course, the implication here is that the MEK will somehow produce a Nelson Mandela, or at least is on the same playing field as Mandela’s ANC was.

Those two statements should be enough to dismiss the IPC, their mission and their report. Yet upon more careful examination, the record shows that the IPC operates in very close proximity to the US intelligence community, has the support of 150 members in the US Congress, and is linked to individuals/groups who successfully lied and led the US into another Vietnam-like war, and whose primary purpose is the creation of a US empire.

The IPC is supported by the Neocon all-stars that we’ve come to know and love such as Doug Feith, Frank Gaffney, Mike Ledeen, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Don Rumsfeld, Condi Rice, et al. But these first benchers are running out of political muscle as their war in Iraq continues to drain the resources of the American people on all political, economic and military fronts.
