The War Party Gets Organized
By Jim Lobe, AlterNet November 14, 2002
A group of well-placed Republican activists are planning to launch a new organization to rally popular support for a war on Iraq. But a closer look at the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq reveals it to be just the latest addition to an incestuous web of rightwing front-organizations staffed and funded by a small but well-organized segment of the foreign-policy elite.
According to the mission statement, the new organization "will engage in educational and advocacy efforts to mobilize U.S. and international support for policies aimed at ending the aggression of Saddam Hussein and freeing the Iraqi people from tyranny." It also promises to "work beyond the liberation of Iraq to the reconstruction of its economy and the establishment of political pluralism, democratic institutions, and the rule of law."

This proliferation – not to say duplication and redundancy – of committees, projects and coalitions is a tried and true tactic of the neo-cons and their more traditional Republican fellow travelers, at least since the 1970s. The tactic appears largely to persuade public opinion that their hawkish policies are supported by a large section of the population when, in fact, these groups represent very specific interests and its views are held by a small, highly organized and well-disciplined elite.

The latest group appears to follow very much in this tradition. Scheunemann has also recruited former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey, currently the president of the New School in New York City, to the board. The only surprise is the absence of Perle, who has played a central role in these groups for some 30 years, but may yet agree to join.
