Ben-Menashe, Ari. Profits of War: Inside the Secret U.S.-Israeli Arms Network. New
York: Sheridan Square Press, 1992. 394 pages.
If this book is even half true, it means that less than ten percent of the Reagan and
Bush administration double-dealing was ever revealed to the American public. Ari
Ben-Menashe's description of the U.S.-Israeli arms network can only be described as
"sensational." If you accept his scenario, it's apparent that an impotent U.S.
Congress, once they got a whiff of the dimensions of the problem and considered
their options, had no choice but to cover it all up. Some journalists who have verified
portions of Ben-Menashe's story have found that his information is excellent. Others
just wish he would disappear and are inclined to discredit him, because to accept
him is to admit that you've been chasing your tail for ten years and missing it all.
With
Ben-Menashe, there doesn't seem to be any middle ground.
Ben-Menashe was one of six on Israel's top-secret Joint Committee on Israel-Iran
Relations, and spent years globe-trotting for them, setting up fronts and transferring
millions in cash. In 1980 he saw George Bush in Paris meeting with a high Iranian
official, and in 1986 he briefed Bush. In 1981 Robert Gates helped him with his
suitcase containing $56 million. Others in this book include Margaret Thatcher's son
Mark, Chilean arms dealer Carlos Cardoen, and Paraguay's Alfredo Stroessner, to
name a few. If you start reading this book, watch out for Mossad hit men and hold on
to your hat.
