Wilkerson: Pt. 2 US & Iran Move Closer to Negotiations But Neo-Cons Try Pull Them Apart



Transcript Here:

....

COL. LAWRENCE WILKERSON, FMR. CHIEF OF STAFF TO COLIN POWELL: I think that what you have is acolytes, disciples, if you will, of the extreme right wing in Israel, led by Netanyahu at the present time, working towards what has always been laughed at, really, by realists in the world and others, an ultimate strategy of the right wing in Israel to build a greater Israel. We're not just talking about the West Bank and Jerusalem; we're talking about eventually Jordan, much of Syria, the Sinai, and so forth being the greater Israel.

And the way you do this is you destabilize the Arab nations around Israel. They're doing quite well with Lebanon right now, with the Syrian refugees pouring in; been doing really well with Jordan, with Iraqi refugees first, now Syrians adding to Jordan's instability.

But what they want is they want no Iraqs, no Syrias, no Egypts, for that matter, and eventually no Saudi Arabias, and ultimately, too, no Irans that's cohesive, that's got a national purpose, that's large, fields major military forces, and can threaten Israel.

So the way you do that is you divide and conquer. You get them into condition like Syria is in now, in a civil war, and you wind up with little statelets afterwards, and you don't have a big, huge Arab country capable of doing all the things big countries can do.
