"The present state of Russia satisfies U.S. interests,” explained Ivashov three days after the Sept. 11 attacks. “What will be tomorrow is unclear,” he said with a hint of mystery. “Thus, the U.S. is now at a transition point. She has come to the climax of her military-power adventures for grabbing power over the planet. I think this peak will be crossed in one and a half to two years [i.e., March 2003 to Sept. 2003], after which the USA will retreat from its positions as a result of economic problems.”

This is a fascinating remark, and not a mere product of wishful thinking. Ivashov further stated, with remarkable foresight: “I think an attack on Iraq will occur. I think Iran will be drawn into the confrontation, and it should not be excluded that Israel will participate.... After that, U.S. policy will disintegrate under the influence of the economic and social-political collapse inside the U.S. One has the feeling, that the financial oligarchy in power on this planet are not interested in maintaining the U.S. population at its present living standard...."

What Ivashov said in September 2001, aside from its propagandistic color, clearly anticipated a U.S. assault against Iraq 18 months in advance! In his statement last month Ivashov added a further tidbit: “I will say for everybody that the use of nuclear weapons during the conflict is quite probable.”
