January 4, 2006 -- Polish Defense Minister a neo-con protege. Poland's Defense Minister Radek Sikorski, a veteran senior fellow of the neo-con citadel, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), is the new darling of the neo-con media, being hailed as a "visionary" by the New York Sun, a noted neo-con outlet. Polish intelligence sources report that Sikorski became a U.S. intelligence asset during the Reagan Cold War years. Sikorski was a Solidarity leader in the 1970s. He was visiting Britain in 1981 when martial law was declared in Poland. In 1984 Sikorski became a British citizen.
Sikorski operated under the cover of a journalist in Soviet-occupied Afghanistan during the mid 1980s and in Angola in the late 1980s where he liaised with pro-U.S. UNITA guerrillas backed by apartheid South Africa and noted GOP activists, including recently convicted Jack Abramoff as well as Karl Rove friend and adviser Grover Norquist. In 2002, after Angola's government killed UNITA leader Jonas Savimbi with the help of Kellogg, Brown & Root military advisers, Sikorski penned an anti-Savimbi screed in the neo-con Wall Street Journal, dismissing his old friend and the man Ronald Reagan called the "George Washington of Africa" as a pro-Mao closeted Leninist who practiced voodoo and believed in Kwame Nkrumah and Leopold Senghor-style black consciousness ("negritude").
Sikorski is married to U.S. journalist Anne Applebaum, who serves on the editorial board of The Washington Post and dismisses the use of the term "neo-con" as paranoia aimed at discrediting the "themed revolutions" in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and other "pro-democracy" neo-con initiatives like the debacle in Iraq. [For more on the Washington Post, see today's guest column]. http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/guest1.htm
While at AEI from 2002 to 2005, Sikorski also served as director of the New Atlantic Initiative, a neo-con contrivance that counts among its adherents Kateryna Chumachenko Yushchenko and her husband, Viktor Yushchenko, the "Orange Revolution" President of Ukraine. Chumachenko served in the Reagan White House and State and Treasury Departments and later worked for KPMG as "Katherine Chumachenko." Chumachenko worked in the White House Public Liaison Office http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/resource/findaid/chumache.htm where she conducted outreach to various right-wing and anti-communist exile groups in the United States, including the other bastion of the neo-cons, The Heritage Foundation and Friends of Afghanistan, on whose board Afghan refugee and current Bush pro-consul in Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, sat. Khalilzad, like Chumachenko, worked in the Reagan State Department. Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent cut-off of natural gas to Ukraine, Poland, and other countries was a clear warning shot about the influence of neo-cons and exiled Israeli-based Russian oligarchs in Eastern Europe and Polish and Ukrainian backing for further U.S. military adventures in the Middle East, including attacks on Iran and Syria.

January 5, 2006 -- Polish government responds to WMR report on Polish assurances of diplomatic support within NATO for a U.S. attack on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Radio Polonia is reporting today on WMR's January 2, 06 report that on a recent visit to Washington, Poland's new right wing defense and foreign ministers assured their American counterparts of Poland's support within NATO in the event of a U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear sites. The Radio Polonia report states, "The spokesman for the Polish Foreign Affairs Ministry has dismissed claims that Poland has pledged its support in the event of a U.S. decision to attack Iran. His statement stresses that Iran was not on the agenda of the recent talks in Washington by Polish foreign affairs and defence ministers." WMR's Polish intelligence sources were the same who revealed the presence of secret CIA prison camps in Poland. The Polish government has kept secret a report on those bases after initially denying the bases existed.
The fact remains that Poland's new Defense Minister Radek Sikorski is a committed neo-conservative who worked as a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he worked along side such proponents of a U.S. military attack on Iran as Michael Ledeen and Richard Perle. Perle is a a supporter of the Mojahedin e Khalq (MEK), a State and Treasury Department-designated terrorist group that has launched cross border raids into Iran from U.S.-occupied Iraq. Sikorski denies he promised the Bush administration anything on Iran, even stating that Iran was not on the agenda. Sikorski's entire career has been as a propagandist for the neo-cons, having worked as a roving corespondent for the neo-con National Review from 1988- to 1998 and working as Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. representative in Warsaw from 1989 to 1992.
Sikorski discussing neo-con initiatives in Ukraine at AEI with Olesandr Potiekhin, Political Counselor of the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington. Present at the Dec. 10, 2004 meeting, held during the midst of the U.S.-backed "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine, was neo-con former Hudson Institute policy wonk and the then-Undersecretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky, a supporter of U.S.-backed themed revolutions in Moldova, Belarus, Lebanon, and Russia, itself, as well as a participant in Project for a New American Century (PNAC) activities. In fact, themed revolutions brought pro-U.S. leaders to power in Georgia and Kyrgyzstan. Neo-con guru Prof. Samuel P. Huntington has urged that a democratic transition in one country should be used to "launch similar transitions in other countries of the region."
Sikorski penned several neo-con policy papers at AEI and for its New Atlantic Initiative project. He mimicked John Bolton is disparaging the United Nations, writing on June 16, 2005, "Far from coming into its own, however, the UN is in crisis. The organization’s inaction in the face of genocide, the antics of its Human Rights Commission and the oil-for-food scandal, have all sapped the UN’s authority."
Sikorksi continued in his UN bashing: "Some commentators have argued that coalitions of the willing--that is, groups of countries that share values, threat perceptions and a demonstrated willingness to act--can supersede the useless talking shop that the UN has become. Powerful voices in the U.S. Administration and Congress have argued that the template for the future is the Proliferation Security Initiative--a voluntary, non-bureaucratic agreement among like-minded states to interdict ships that may carry weapons of mass destruction." It should be noted that the Proliferation Security Initiative was Bolton's brainchild. Sikorski has also championed another Bolton goal: the destruction of the UN and its replacement by a U.S.-controlled organization -- a Community of Democracies (a formalized "Coalition of the Willing"). Sikorski wrote: "If the Community of Democracies were to continue to hold its conference before each General Assembly meeting, it could, at the very least, agree to block harmful proposals from being passed."
