Zelikow is the 9/11 Commission's executive director

The allegation is that Zelikow, a former Bush advisor, has a conflict of interest

Calls for his resignation

[Brilliant]

That's strange. I thought it was about oil.

[Slings and Arrows]

A quick look at the the "Inter Press Service" who provided this article shows them to be leftist propagandists. SSDD.

[JmyBryan]

Yeah, its not really in the US interest to protect Israel from being nuked by Saddam. SHEESH.

[Stentor]

Do you think Iraq was all about the Joos?

He joined IPS in October 2001, and has since broken several stories related to controversial activities of the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the International Monetary Fund. He has also reported widely on the activities of the anti-globalisation movement, both in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

He was a winner of the 2003 Project Censored award from California's Sonoma State University for his 2002 story on the shady dealings of shamed multinationals Enron and Worldcom in the developing world.

Another article by Emad Mekay can be found at antiwar.com, http://www.antiwar.com/ips/mekay.php?articleid=2111 . Do you think that paranoid, ultraleft conspiracy yarns are worthy of serious discussion?

[PolitBase]

This is absolutely true. Robbie George, a sometime Bush Advisor at Princeton University has stated this since mid-2002.

Emad's sister was once bitten by a Jewish moose!

[Mitchell]

Ping.

Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us?

They say the same thing about north korea, china, pakistan, russia.... Sorry I don't buy it.

[An.American.Expatriate]

"Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us? I'll tell you what I think the real threat (is) and actually has been since 1990--it's the threat against Israel,"

So, according to the article, anything that this guy "thinks" is true, is automatically the reason the US went to war in Iraq. Regardless of his position at the time, this pronouncment does NOT reflect official foreign policy.

Did we also have Isreal's interests in mind - most likely - so where is the "news"? We've have had Isreal's interests also in mind for quite a long time now. . . .

And if one of the motives for removing Saddam was Iraq's support of terrorism against Israel, this is a crime? And if bush can't admit this publicly, this is a crime?

Support of an ally is a crime?

[nkycincinnatikid]

my head is spinning, how could this be?

[bayourod]

Good work. You most have something personal against Zelikow to be so motivated to produce such good info.

Inspiration has many sources.

[dalebert]

He should resign.
