Author of "International fascist" most aggressive Bush policy maker.
His name is Michael Ledeen

For those of you who think calling Bush a fascist is overthetop check this out:

.......The Islamic Republic is not a "house of cards, ready to be pushed over the precipice" as Michael Ledeen, President Bush's leading "expert" on Iran and one of the president's most aggressive foreign policy makers, claimed in 2003. Ledeen, now operating out of the American Enterprise Institute, former employee of the Pentagon, the State Department, the National Security Council, and Italy's military intelligence during the decade of false-flag terrorism in Italy, is widely believed to be the "brain" behind the shabby "yellowcake" Niger forgery that led the US into the quagmire of Iraq. Decades ago, he was behind the "Bulgarian plot" to kill the pope. In the '80s, he arranged for the Iran-contra scandal.

Now, he's ready to serve up another quagmire. In 2003, he set up the Coalition for Democracy in Iran, rounding up the usual suspects, oligarchs in exile, Pahlevi royal descendants -- even the Ayatollah Khomeni's grandson, whom Khomeini kept out of politics for being a mujahiddeen.

A self-professed "international fascist" (he wrote a book by that title), Ledeen may be too extreme even for the much compromised, right-wing US media to parade up front, but he remains in the shadows plotting "regime change" in Iran for his addled-brained master in the White House -- a task the Iranians were busily and more effectively accomplishing on their own, until they were rudely interrupted.

Pseudo-intellectual, political hacks like Ledeen seem to stick to Bush like flies to flypaper.....
