It seems as though fortress Pacifica was able to withstand the impact of this bombshell from the intrepid Zbigniew Brzezinski. Though this story is from February of 2007, I am not aware that it was reported on in any significant way on any Pacifica program that I listen to. The only reference I can find to him on Democracy Now is when he was mentioned as an advisor to Obama. Joe W. A political bombshell from Zbigniew Brzezinski Ex-national security adviser warns that Bush is seeking a pretext to attack Iran By Barry Grey in Washington DC 2 February 2007 http://www.wsws.org/articles/2007/feb2007/brze-f02_prn.shtml 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. Most stunning and disturbing was his description of a "plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran." It would, he suggested, involve "Iraqi failure to meet the benchmarks, followed by accusations of Iranian responsibility for the failure, then by some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the US blamed on Iran, culminating in a 'defensive' US military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan."
