THROWBACK: Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh told CNN on August 13, 2006 that the war in Lebanon was planned by then-president George W. Bush and the Israeli government months in advance. The neocon plan envisaged destroying Hezbollah as pre-cursor to an attack on Iran. “Israel’s attack on Hezbollah was going to be sort of a model, prototype, that is, a lot of air against a dug-in underground facility. Everything in southern Lebanon that Hezbollah had was underground,“ Hersh said. “For them it was going to be a test run for the bombing and the attack they really want to do, probably next year if they can. I’m not saying they’ve decided, but they want to go after Iran, and Iran, of course, the Persians have been dug in since, what, the 11th century so we know it’s a tough call.“ Boost us! | Subscribe to @geopolitics_live Source: Geopolitics Live
