Book: Israel, Lobby Pushing Iran War

 “Let there be no doubt: If there is an American war with Iran, it is a war that was made in Israel and nowhere else.” -former senior U.N, Weapons Inspector in Iraq, Scott Ritter

Here is an excerpt from a new article in The Jewish Forward by Nathan Guttman reveals that Scott Ritter’s new book exposes Israel and Jewish extremists around the world as the driving force behind a planned war with Iran. –David Duke

A former United Nations weapons inspector and leading Iraq War opponent has written a new book alleging that Jerusalem is pushing the Bush administration into war with Iran, and accusing the pro-Israel lobby of dual loyalty and “outright espionage.”

In the new book, called “Target Iran,” Scott Ritter, who served as a senior U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998 and later became one of the war’s staunchest critics, argues that the United States is readying for military action against Iran, using its nuclear program as a pretext for pursuing regime change in Tehran.

“The Bush administration, with the able help of the Israeli government and the pro-Israel Lobby, has succeeded,” Ritter writes, “in exploiting the ignorance of the American people about nuclear technology and nuclear weapons so as to engender enough fear that the American public has more or less been pre-programmed to accept the notion of the need to militarily confront a nuclear armed Iran.”

Later in the book, Ritter adds: “Let there be no doubt: If there is an American war with Iran, it is a war that was made in Israel and nowhere else.”
