Will NeoCons partition Libya?

Why are the NeoCons pushing the US into military confrontation with Libya (as with the no-fly zone) and other Arab states The answer is simple. The NeoCons believe that US intrersts in the Middle East now converge with Iran and not with the Arab states. The NeoCons moved to this anti-Arab pro-Iran policy as a result of the Paul Wolfowitz-Ahmed Chalabi partnership during the early days of the US military occupation of Iraq. Wolfowitz at that time was SecDef Rumsfeld's Deputy for Iraq policy, while Chalabi was a prominent pro-Iran leader of the Iraqi exile leadership. In fact, under the Wolfowitz guidelines for US military ocupation in Iraq, the US excluded any role for Turkish and Saudi troops in Iraq. Meanwhile, Wolfowitz permitted Iran to send to Iraq thousands of military advisors and elite troops that Itan used to provoke civil war in Iraq as well as Iraq's partition into three ethnic mini-states at the expense of Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Until this year, The NeoCons were on track with a plan for partitioning Iraq first and then partitioning Turkey, which is the Arab states' most powerful ally. against Iran.

The NeoCon political calculation was that Iraq's partition would liberate the Iraqi Kurds who would establish – with Iran's assistance --the first independent Kurdish state. That state would soon come under control of the Kurdish PKK terrorists who would destabilize Turkey with military attacks from Iraqi Kurdistan.
