Pentagon official hints of pre-emptive war on new targets
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.
