Wolfowitz Speech at West Point, June 2001

[Tim Howells]

I just saw a clip from this address by Wolfowitz just a few months
before September 11. A real shocker IMO - I had to keep checking
the date to make sure this was BEFORE 911.

There is related info re the Pearl Harbor connection in this
article by Kevin Barrett (review of a book by T.H. Meyer).

"{Meyer calls} attention to Donald Rumsfeld's bizarre Pearl-Harbor-propaganda campaign that had begun even before the Bush Administration took office. Rumsfeld spent 2000 and 2001 carrying around extra copies of Roberta Wohlstetter's Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision, praising the book to the skies, and offering free copies to all and sundry. Wohlstetter's book, while it ostensibly supports the official myth that Pearl Harbor was a perfidious surprise attack, includes enough information to the contrary to enlighten the discerning reader to the unspeakable but implicitly acknowledged truth: The Roosevelt Administration provoked the attacks, knew they were coming, and left thousands of sailors in harm's way as an offering to the gods of war. Wohlstetter's book is a perfect illustration of neocon doublespeak: Tell a vivid, simplistic, emotionally-charged lie to the masses ('Perfidious surprise attack! Heroic purple-fury response!') yet include as a subtle subtext the unspeakable truth that only the elite are smart enough to discern and strong enough to handle: 'Roosevelt sacrificed thousands of American lives to the greater good of getting the US into the war.'"
