Eliot A. Cohen Biography

Eliot A. Cohen is one of the most popular and richest University Teacher who was born on April 3, 1956 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The evidence isn’t there to suggest to suggest that generals as a whole are more intelligent national security decision-makers than civilians. George C. Marshall, the greatest of our soldier statesmen after George Washington, opposed shipping arms to Britain in 1940. The man who was his boss Franklin D. Roosevelt without a single moment in uniform, believed otherwise. Whose judgement is superior?

The year 1997 was the time that Cohen was a co-founder of in 1997 the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) that was a hub for prominent Neoconservatives. Cohen has been a part of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee which is a group composed of retired and civilian officers who is the U.S. Secretary of Defense could consult established during the presidency of the president George W. Bush. Cohen was named to the board after a friend Richard Perle put forward his name. Cohen has described”the” War on Terrorism as “World War IV”. Prior to 2003’s invasion of Iraq Cohen was a member of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq A group of prominent people who advocated to have an insurgency.

Cohen was one of the first neoconservatives to publicly advocate war against Iran and Iraq. In a November 2001 op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, Cohen identified what he called World War IV and advocated the overthrow of Iran’s government as a possible next step for the Bush Administration. Cohen claimed “regime change” in Iran could be accomplished with a focus on “pro-Western and anticlerical forces” in the Middle East and suggested that such an action would be “wise, moral and unpopular (among some of our allies)”. He went on to argue that such a policy was as important as the then identified goal of Osama Bin Laden’s capture: “The overthrow of the first theocratic revolutionary Muslim state and its replacement by a moderate or secular government, however, would be no less important a victory in this war than the annihilation of bin Laden.”

In 2002, Cohen defended the PNAC membership against the charge that its personnel were chicken-hawks. Cohen found unsupported the opinion that, compared to civilians, veterans possess “sheer moral authority” or “are uniquely qualified to make judgments on matters of war and peace.” As an example, Cohen states:

The professor was an associate professor in the government and deputy director at Harvard University from 1982 to 1985. After that Cohen taught for 4 years in the Naval War College in the Department of Strategy, before briefly serving on the staff of policy planning within the Office of the Secretary of Defense. In the year 1990, Cohen began teaching at SAIS. Following his participation in the Persian Gulf War, he headed his role in the U.S. Air Force’s official four-volume study called The Gulf War Air Power Survey until 1993, at which time the Air Force awarded him the Excellent Civilian Service Medal. The study of the impact on U.S. air power was frequently referenced in discussions about The Revolution in Military Affairs concept. The year 1993 saw Paul Wolfowitz, who would later be a prominent figure as the deputy secretary of Defense during the build-up towards the Iraq War, became Dean of SAIS. In his brief time on the staff of the defense policy planning, Cohen had worked under Wolfowitz but it was the first occasion that they were in continuous contact.
