Pentagon official hints of pre-emptive war on new

targets

 

PTI | September 5 2004

 

New York, Sept 5 (PTI) A leading Pentagon official has

hinted that the doctrine of pre-emptive war could soon

apply to potential new targets, a media report said.

 

During a private conference call with Capitol Hill

aides from both parties on August 19, Senior Pentagon

policy official William Luti said there are at least

five or six foreign countries with traits that " no

responsible leader can allow, " Time quoted sources as

saying.

 

An outspoken proponent of the Iraq war, Luti had

declared at an October 2002 conference that the US has

" the right to ... hold accountable nations that

harbour terrorists, " Time said.

 

Some democrats on Capitol Hill, Time said, claim that

they are worried a second Bush Administration may

prove more militarily aggressive than the first.
