   Scott Sul­li­van :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.

   How­ever, con­trary to Neo­Con Iran­ian expec­ta­tions, Iraq and Turkey now appear to be sta­ble, thanks to the skill of Iraq’s new lead­ers. Thus, the Neo­Cons must look beyond Iraq and Turkey to sal­vage their anti– Arab pro-partition strat­egy. To be pre­cise, the Neo­Cons now must turn to the par­ti­tion of Libya and the Maghreb states as the only game in town. The Neo­Cons antic­i­pate that Libya’s par­ti­tion, in the wake of Sudan’s par­ti­tion, could increase pres­sure for addi­tional bor­der adjust­ments through­out the Mid­dle East, includ­ing in Iraq and Turkey, to the point where Iraqi rec­on­cil­i­a­tion efforts could col­lapse entirely. As noted ear­lier, Iraq’s cri­sis would desta­bi­lize Turkey.

   In view of this Neo­Con Iran threat, what should the US do now? I think three new US poli­cies are desirable.

   First, we need to stay in step with Rus­sia and China in the Mid­dle East. This Obama must con­tinue to say NO to a no-fly zone.

   Sec­ond, we should ignore the Neo­Cons. Why waste time and energy by meet­ing with Neo­Cons when they ignore all pol­icy rec­om­men­da­tions from non-NeoCon sources? Plus, the Neo­Cons have no new ideas for resolv­ing problems.

   Third, along these lines of iso­lat­ing the Neo­Cons, we should inform Gaddafi that we share his con­cerns that the Libya faces par­ti­tion as a result of joint action by the Neo­Cons and Iran. We believe the US and Libyan gov­ern­ments can best meet this NeoCon-Iranian threat by bring­ing new lead­ers into play to resolve pol­icy issues. To this end, we ask should ask Gaddafi to select Libya’s new leader, in con­sul­ta­tion with Libya’s newly empow­ered cit­i­zens groups, pro­vided such groups agree to reject all efforts by neigh­bor­ing states to acquire Libyan ter­ri­tory. The new Libyan leader shall respond to impe­ri­al­ist threats against Libyan ter­ri­tory with a national pol­icy of “No sur­ren­der, not one inch.”

   Fourth, Pres­i­dent Obama should replace his Neo­Con Sec­re­tary of State.
