September 15, 2007 (LPAC)--The claim featured in the Sunday Times of London on Sept. 2 that the "Pentagon" has a plan for a 3-day blitzkrieg against Iran to hit 1,200 sites, is another load of chicken poop--with the source of that information--Alexis Debat--exposed as a complete fraud. Another example of Rupert Murdoch's Chicken Poop. This story would be enough to make Sir Rupert the laughing stock of yellow journalism, if he wasn't already!

Debat was once ABC's "counter-terrorism" consultant, a "national security expert" at The Nixon Center, and of course, a well-known faker of interviews with political figures (According to ABC News and other sources, the growing list of people who say they were the subjects of fake interviews published under Debat's by-line in the French journal Politique Internationale, now includes Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Alan Greenspan, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates, and Kofi Annan).  Debat was also a visiting professor at Felix Rohatyn's Middlebury College, where financier Felix pushes his fascist economic and private warfare schemes! But even on this credential, Debat lied, claiming a full professorship, according to a former Washington correspondent for France's Liberation newspaper.

In the Sunday Times article, for those of you fortunate enough to have missed it, Debat was quoted saying that that U.S. military planners are not preparing for "pinprick" strikes against Iran's nuclear facilities: "They're about taking out the entire Iranian military." But LPAC did not fall for the Debat/Murdoch chicken poop, and exposed the story as part of a wide-ranging British empire media campaign for the attack on Iran by Dick Cheney--which is instead meeting wide opposition inside the United States, especially from currently serving military brass, behind the scenes. Now Debat's chicken poop has created a stench.

This whole affair has an aroma which reminds us of the case of another faker from France who haunts many of the same U.S. think tanks and magazines as Debat, namely Laurent Murawiec, a former associate from EIR (where he was known to be a faker since at least the mid-1980s), and who then ended upon the dole of neo-con dominated institutes like the Hudson Institute, and American Enterprise Institute, after being dumped from Rand, for his anti-Arab and anti-Muslim ravings at the Defense Policy Board under Richard Perle in 2002.
