The infamous "Clean Break" policy paper written for then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, co-authored by Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and a full coven of neocons now ensconced in the national security bureaucracy, is clear on this one point: Syria is the main problem. As the frontline state standing in the way of Zionist expansionism, Syria, according to Netanyahu's former American advisors, must be confronted, and humbled: in their view, the road to Damascus clearly runs through Baghdad.
As the prime architects of the second Iraq war, the Perle-Feith-neocon cabal took their own advice to heart, and now it is time for phase two of the plan to make the Middle East safe for Israel…. Oh wait, I mean: safe for democracy. Yeah, that's the ticket…. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah: time for phase two. Or, as Seymour Hersh calls it, "Plan B."
Having concluded that the war in Iraq is unwinnable – the war Israel wanted, and agitated for ceaselessly, not only directly but through surrogates in the U.S. – "Plan B" calls for Israeli infiltration of northern Iraq, otherwise known as Kurdistan. After all, the Israelis might as well make the best of a bad situation, and make their move while they can: the Kurdish adventure is a clear effort to stir up Syria's substantial Kurdish population, as well as to provide "intelligence" of Chalabi-like quality on Iran's nukes. What a coincidence that "pro-democracy" groups and Kurdish separatist elements are becoming more active in Syria at the same time as stepped-up charges of Syrian collaboration with the Iraqi insurgency hit the headlines. Meanwhile, the usual suspects have started up their chorus of complaints about Syrian policing of Lebanon, while the Israelis rampage through the occupied territories of Palestine and annex the best bits.
Phase two, arriving right on schedule….
