[i]FORMER CIA CHIEF: WORLD WAR IV BEGAN ON SEPT. 11

Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey told a Washington audience Wednesday, "We are in a world war, we are in World War IV." He said World War IV began on Sept. 11, 2001.

Woolsey, former director of central intelligence (1993-1995) under President Clinton, warned a packed audience at a Washington, D.C., symposium that this current world war will be unlike any other in history. The symposium discussed intelligence requirements in the new century and was hosted by the Institute on World Politics.

Woolsey said that America won the Cold War , which he described as World War III, and he expects America to meet the challenges of the new war.

The former CIA chief did not mince words as he challenged the administration to continue to pound out the message that America is not simply on a mission of self-defense but on a sacred campaign to safeguard the ideals of democracy.

"For the fourth time ... we are on the march, and we are on the side of those they most fear – their own people!" Woolsey exclaimed, pointing his finger at Iraq as the primary opponent of America in the new war.

Woolsey suggested it would be futile to wait for a "[former Soviet President Mikhail] Gorbachev figure to evolve" in Iraq. He said Iraq is ruled by a murderous family that will not give up power.

"Iraq can only be dealt with effectively by military action," Woolsey said. "I like to draw analogies. Iraq is like Hitler's Germany in the mid-1930s. There's no sense waiting, as the situation will only get worse."

Woolsey voiced his strong opinion that it makes sense to wage war against Saddam Hussein even without the "smoking gun" of a clear and provable nexus to 9-11.

"His general support of terrorism is enough," Woolsey concluded, pointing to the dictator's cease-fire violations, the testimony of defectors describing hijack training within Iraq, the meetings of the former Iraqi ambassador to Turkey with al-Qaeda members, and the Czech intelligence service's repeated public reports of meetings with bomber Mohamed Atta in Prague.

"Put all this together with the foiled attempt to assassinate the senior George Bush in Kuwait," Woolsey advised.

And Woolsey made it apparent that he was not impressed with Iraq as a potential battlefield opponent, noting that Saddam's standing army is much depleted from the days of the Gulf War.

He also cited the edge of the "smart bomb," suggesting that only 5 percent of the ordnance dropped on Saddam's forces in the Gulf War were smart weapons.

"Sixty-five percent of the bombs used in Afghanistan have been smart weapons. There will be at least that level in any campaign in Iraq," Woolsey said. "The U.S. is totally capable of success ."

Woolsey said the U.S. military needs to deploy only 100,000 to 200,000 troops to successfully invade Iraq.

He noted that the U.S. will likely gain access to one or more countries in the region that could be used as jumping-off points for an invasion. He specifically noted the U.S. will likely get the green light from Turkey, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar to allow U.S. troops.

As to dealing with al-Qaeda, Woolsey suggested the conflict will be protracted.

"We will have to deal with them in their lairs. It will be a long and bloody conflict lasting years, perhaps decades," he said.

"We've got to get busy," Woolsey advised, noting that only an aggressive policy will keep things from going from "bad to catastrophic." He described al-Qaeda as a canny and dangerous enemy.

"For two years the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] was being warned about flimsy cockpit doors." According to Woolsey, al-Qaeda sat back and added up the elements: flimsy cockpit doors, box cutters allowed on board, and a general policy to be passive in hijack situations.

That lesson, said Woolsey, should be extended to potential enemy attacks on the U.S. infrastructure, such as the country's electrical grids. "We need to be asking, 'What are the functional equivalents of a flimsy cockpit door?' "

Woolsey emphasized that the victory in the new world war will be won by echoing themes that led us to success in World War II.

"We won before because we were fighting for freedom ," he said.

Jibaro. Are you who I think you are? lol!

Sure we can kill anyone and no one can say a thing, cause we did it for justice, RIGHT? We can bomb Japan and it's ok. We can tell the world "YOU MUST RESPECT US". Just another form of terror! Only WE can have weapons. Only we can blackmail other countries in participating in embargos against countries who don't do as we do, or else we'll cut off the cotton, sugar, whatever we can from them too!

Not one non-american life is less valuble then an american life! How ignorant and bullish we are. That's what got us into this mess. Remember not long ago, slaves were being hung on trees in this beautiful free/non racial/non ethnocentric country. Only the constitution keeps us from going under! Have we forgotten too soon? Are we so absorbed in materialist things that most of us who kept this country from going either far right or left, have forgotten the meaning of love. And for those who believe in God, how do justify innocent killing of children? Oh, their middle eastern, it doen't count? How could you say you love god if you can kill a child, women and inocent families just to get SADDAM in the name, not of true democracy, but CAPTILISM? ARE WE THE NEW CONQUISTADORS? My question is WHERE IS USAMA? Bush should stop fixing daddy's lil mess and stop diverting the true problem here: HE CAN'T FIND USAMA!
