(*)This release appears in the September 27, 2002 issue of Executive Intelligence Review. Bush Must Say, 'No' To Israel Nuclear Blackmailby Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. This statement was issued on Sept. 18, 2002 for national circulation by the Presidential pre-candidate's political committee, LaRouche in 2004. Subheads have been added. I am warning President George W. Bush and European leaders: If weapons inspectors return to Iraq, and an otherwise-certain Iraq-centered new Middle East war by the United States is thus averted, the governments of the United States and Western Europe must be prepared to forcefully intervene, to prevent an increasingly more desperate and psychotic Ariel Sharon's nuclear-armed regime in Israel, the world's third-ranking strategic nuclear-weapons power, from blowing up the entire Middle East region, and beyond, with those weapons! At an international webcast, before a live audience in Washington on Sept. 11, 2002, I identified three hurdles that had to be overcome to avert an Iraq war that would trigger a perpetual "Clash of Civilizations" religious conflict and a New Dark Age. First, the United Nations Security Council had to become the venue for dealing with the Iraq situation, and a reasonable resolution had to be drafted, that would be agreed to by President Bush, overriding the Sharon-influenced "war party" within his own Administration's senior ranks. Second, the resolution had to be accepted by Iraq's Saddam Hussein, as well as by President Bush. With those two conditions met, I warned, the gravest, remaining danger to overcome would be a berserker move by Sharon in Israel to sabotage the peaceful resolution and blow up the region. It was the threat of an Israeli nuclear attack on Iraq in 1991 that blackmailed the first Bush Administration into launching Operation Desert Storm. Today's Israel, under the insane Sharon regime, is the only nation on Earth that genuinely fits the profile of a "rogue state" armed to the teeth with "weapons of mass destruction." Israel has the third-largest nuclear weapons arsenal on Earth, and a triad of submarine, missile, and bomber delivery systems, capable of obliterating the entire Persian Gulf. Israeli scientists have recently threatened that they now have the capability of launching an intercontinental ballistic missile, meaning that no place on Earth-including the United States-is exempt from an Israeli pre-emptive nuclear attack. I ask you: Do you dare dismiss this threat from Sharon?Suez Crisis Resolve Needed Again Have you looked inside the mind of a Jabotinskyite universal fascist like Sharon or Netanyahu? These men are the continuation of the avowedly fascist Vladimir Jabotinsky, a Mussolini crony who not only described himself as a fascist, but offered, unsuccessfully, to make a deal with Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. These followers of Jabotinsky gained their present power in Israel through the 1995 assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who had the courage to pursue a "peace of the brave" with the Palestinians. Since the 1956 attack on Egypt by Britain, France, and Israel, until the 1989-1991 break-up of Soviet power, Israel's access to nuclear weapons had made it the third "tilt" power in the global strategic equation.
