Giuliani Packs Staff With Middle East 'Hawks'
Presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani is packing his campaign staff with Middle East Hawks – including one who urges a U.S. military strike on Iran. Giuliani recently announced he had assembled a "team of foreign policy advisers featuring several prominent neoconservatives, including one of the movement’s founders, Norman Podhoretz,” the Jewish publication Forward reported. Podhoretz, former editor-in-chief at Commentary magazine, not only supports the war in Iraq, he has said that a military confrontation with Iran is inevitable. "I believe, contrary to what many people assume, that [Bush] will [attack Iran] before he leaves office,” he told the Israeli broadcasting authority in May.

His chief foreign policy adviser is Charles Hill, who once served as political counselor to the American Embassy in Tel Aviv. On the panel as well is Martin Kramer, an expert on Islam at Harvard University and a fellow with the Jerusalem-based Shalem Center. Ben Chouake, head of the pro-Israel political action committee Norpac, said Giuliani’s selection of these advisors shows he is "very serious about his approach to ensuring the security and safety of Israel.”
