ZIONAZI THINK TANK CALLS FOR MILITARY ATTACKS IN SYRIA http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/security/news/2013/06/14/66610/entering-a-new-phase-in-the-syrian-conflict/
As CAP recommended in April, the United States should engage with our allies in NATO and in the region to prepare a direct response that precludes further chemical-weapons use, potentially targeting military assets such as delivery systems, logistics, and appropriate command and control..
[ed notes:some backround... 2009 "The Center for American Progress — which has emerged as perhaps Washington’s most influential idea factory in the age of Obama — is launching a major new war room, to be staffed by nearly a dozen people, that will focus on driving the White House’s message and agenda, I’m told. ... The new war room - which is called Progressive Media - represents a serious ratcheting up of efforts to present a united liberal front in the coming policy wars.
Background
According to a 2003 article in the New York Times, Podesta's "goal is to build an organization to rethink the very idea of liberalism, a reproduction in mirror image of the conservative think tanks that have dominated the country's political dialogue for a generation."^[
Supporting Escalation of the War in Afghanistan
In March, 2009 CAP strongly supported Barack Obama's escalation of the US wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan, issuing a report titled Sustainable Security in Afghanistan by Lawrence J. Korb, Caroline Wadhams, Colin Cookman and Sean Duggan.^[2] CAP was also prominent in Americans Against Escalation in Iraq with MoveOn, a coalition that used the Iraq war to attack Republican politicians and candidates in 2007 and 2008.
The report was formally released formally on April 3, 2009, at a CAP forum titled A New Way Forward in Afghanistan featuring the following speakers:

• Minister Ali Jalali, Former Afghan Interior Minister; Distinguished Professor, National Defense University
• Frederick W. Kagan, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute
• Fred Kaplan, columnist, Slate Magazine
