Vultures Roost: ALSOP on Iraq and U.S. policy
Joseph Alsop argues that U.S. policy in the Middle East, notably after Suez, led to the Iraqi crisis. He faulted the Eisenhower administration for weak and hypocritical actions, warned against moral posturing, and urged bold, foresighted moves to counter rising Arab tides and preserve allies like Jordan. He cites warnings from Nuri Pasha, Iran’s Shah, Turkish leaders, Lebanon, and British colleagues. The piece condemns rhetoric of a dynamic foreign policy and warns against massive retaliation causes.
