Iran a Nuclear Threat, Bush Insists

Experts on Iran and nuclear proliferation said the president’s statement was wrong. “That’s as uninformed as [Sen. John] McCain’s statement that Iran is training al-Qaeda. Iran has never said it wanted a nuclear weapon for any reason. It’s just not true. It’s a little troubling that the president and the leading Republican candidate are both so wrong about Iran,” said Joseph Cirincione, president of Ploughshares Fund, a global security foundation.

More lying crap from the anti-American, pro-Iranian fifth columnists at the Washington Post.

So the “Ploughshares Fund” is a global “security” foundation?

Is that so?

Most of the public attention to those who have opposed our (now, successful) drive to oust Saddam Hussein has been devoted to organizations like ANSWER and the Not in Our Name movement. Far more important to the anti-war effort, however, has been the quieter, behind-the-scenes work of academics and leftist groups, such as the Lawyer’s Committee for Human Rights, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the Ploughshares Fund, the American Friends Services Committee and journals such as The American Prospect. These organizations have worked to undermine support of the United States’ efforts in the War on Terror, and against the Hussein regime. They are all very well-financed groups, who have one primary funding source in common: The Ford Foundation.

…Readers of FrontPage Magazine may never have heard of the Ploughshares Fund. The Fund is, itself, a grant-making organization; styling itself as a “mutual fund for peace,” and has received $1 million from the Ford Foundation so far this year.

Ploughshares, and the Ford Foundation itself, have granted funds to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which has issued numerous op-ed pieces against the U.S. stance in Iraq as well as hiring staff who appear to take their lead from Noam Chomsky. Now, with victory achieved, the Endowment agitates for more UN involvement in the post-war environment; possibly allowing the Old European powers to continue the lucrative concessions they gained in Iraq during the Hussein regime.

Another Ploughshares grantee is the U.S. Campaign to Ban Land Mines. The Campaign advocates the elimination of all land mines as an inhumane weapon. The U.S. has refused to go along with this call, rationally coming to the conclusion that such devices have a place in modern warfare.

Other Ploughshares grantees have published op-eds and scholarly articles on why the U.S. should give into North Korean demands and continue to provide it with free oil, food and other desperately needed items in order to bribe the Korean government to cease its efforts to build nuclear weapons.

This is the radical left wing, fifth column, anti-American outfit WaPo passes off as a “global security organization,” as if it were concerned about the security of anything other than the leftist enemies of the United States it funds and supports.
