Ari Fleischer, who promoted the Iraq War while serving as press secretary under President George W. Bush, is back with more sweeping ideas on how to reach peace. This time in Iran. His suggestion: to destabilize the nation.
"Fascinating changes underway inside of Iran, no one can predict where they're going to go," Fleischer
told Fox News on Monday, speaking about the recent anti-government protests in the Islamic republic. "But the more unstable we can help Iran to become, the better it is to actually secure peace if we can get rid of that theological regime one day, or if the Iranian people can get rid of it themselves."
Serving as Bush's press secretary, Fleischer became one of the leading public faces of the administration's push for the Iraq War, claiming that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and that regime change was the only way out of the international crisis.
