  A political bombshell from Zbigniew Brzezinski Ex-national security adviser warns that Bush is seeking a pretext to ...
Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the national security adviser in the Carter administration, delivered a scathing critique of the war in Iraq and warned that the Bush administration’s policy was leading inevitably to a war with Iran, with incalculable consequences for US imperialism in the Middle East and internationally.
Brzezinski derided Bush’s talk of a “decisive ideological struggle” against radical Islam as “simplistic and demagogic,” and called it a “mythical historical narrative” employed to justify a “protracted and potentially expanding war.”
That a man such as Brzezinski, with decades of experience in the top echelons of the US foreign policy establishment, a man who has the closest links to the military and to intelligence agencies, should issue such a warning at an open hearing of the US Senate has immense and grave significance.

ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI, Former National Security Adviser to President Carter: I feel she's right in going, because for her not to go would indicate a degree of U.S. passivity, even disengagement, which I think would be counterproductive.

ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI: Well, it seems to me that it is important for the United States to be able to conduct a dialogue, not only with the Israelis, with whom we've always had a close dialogue, but also the Palestinians.

BRZEZINSKI: But the point is we have hesitated to do that because we prefer to have the sort of vague notion of terrorism around the world.

 armed-combat.com - geopolitics: zbigniew brzezinski and u.s. geostrategy
Zbigniew Brzezinski's The Grand Chessboard is nothing less than a blueprint for U.S. global domination drawn up by an insider of the American foreign policy establishment.
These states fall within Brzezinski's delineated "Global Zone of Percolating Violence" (map, page 53) which stretches from Turkey in the west to Kashmir in the east, and from Kazakhstan in the north to the Yemen in the south.
The new rules, written by the U.S. player their self, replace Brzezinski’s cautious and rational academic nuances by a distinctly Biblical tone in which enemies are cast not as players but as “The Evil Ones”.

 War and Piece:
Brzezinski's policy clearly utterly and totally failed to anticipate how massive blow back from this policy - in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the massive export of Saudi Wahabism around the globe would combine to become perhaps the largest threat to US national security in the current era.
That is why the revelation made three years ago—by Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser to President Carter—that small-scale American aid to the Afghan Islamists based in Pakistan had begun some months before the Soviet army arrived in Afghanistan is not surprising.
Brzezinski's enthusiasm was shared by William Casey, a veteran of the OSS and the director of the CIA under President Reagan.

Zbigniew Brzezinski is considered by the Chinese to be one of America's top strategists (along with Steve Metz from the Army War College), and that is entirely his due.
Zbigniew Brzezinski identifies the geopolitical Achilles' heel of the twenty-first century in an area he designates as the global Balkans-a geographical "swathe of Eurasia between Europe and the Far East," encompassing primarily the Middle East and Central Asia.
Brzezinski's restatement is clear, concise, and comprehensive; but his analytical talents are employed mainly to support his central thesis in favor of a multilateral American foreign policy, rather than to offer new insights as to the nature or causes of instability in the global Balkans.

 Brzezinski Suggests False Flag Event Could Kick-Start Iran War
Brzezinski was careful to highlight the word "defensive" as if to discount its credibility, suggesting that the Bush White House itself would be behind the attack or provocation and subsequently use it as a pretext for war.
Brzezinski is of course referring to the plan to fly a U2 spy plane painted with UN colors over Iraq and goading Saddam to order the aircraft shot down, resulting in widespread international support for the war.
Whatever the reason for Brzezinski's apparent sudden change of heart, be it a pang or consciousness of simple political maneuvering, judging from his previous writings one feels it's more appropriate to take his reference to a false flag attack as a threat rather than a warning.

Said Brzezinski: "The BBC Poll stated that the country with the most negative impact on the world was Israel, the second most negative country in terms of its impact on the world was Iran, the third … was the United States.
And finally, Brzezinski spoke about seriously tackling the Israeli-Palestinian problem, because "one has to be in a state of denial to argue that that is somehow unrelated to anti-Americanism hostility in the region and increasingly in the world," he said, "not to mention the fact that Israel itself is becoming increasingly isolated.
