israel has been barred from getting any of the contracts for the rebuilding
in iraq. there have been no steps to rebuild the old iraq-jordan-palestine
oil pipeline. exactly how did israel profit from this war?

This is so widely understood in
Washington that US Senator Ernest
Hollings was moved in May 2004 to
acknowledge that the US invaded Iraq

"to secure Israel," and "everybody" knows it.

He also identified three of
the influential pro-Israel
Jews in Washington who played
an important role in prodding
the US into war:

Richard Perle,
chair of the Pentagon`s Defense Policy Board;

Paul Wolfowitz,
Deputy Defense Secretary;

and Charles Krauthammer,
columnist and author. [1]

Hollings referred to the cowardly
reluctance of his Congressional
colleagues to acknowledge this
truth openly,

saying that

"nobody is willing to stand
up and say what is going on."

Due to

"the pressures we get politically,"

he added,
members of Congress uncritically
support Israel and its policies.
