The Iraq War.

More on the Iraq War

Now it’s been more than year after the invasion of Iraq by the United States/United Kingdom coalition with other nations (46 and some militarily small or with no military like the Solomon Islands and Tonga). I came out against the war in August 2003 and I’m fully validated by time. It was illegal and immoral since there was no Constitutional declaration of war, no Iraqi involvement in 9/11, no massive quantities of WMDs or nuclear weapons inside Iraq, no collaborative link to al-Qaeda, plus no immediate or direct threat to America (Iraq was effectively contained for 12 years by the no-fly zone and destructive U.S./U.N. sanctions/embargo). This crushes any justification for a pre-emptive war. It’s as simple as that. Plans for the war existed way before 9/11 even admitted by former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill and Richard Clarke (the former White House Counter Terrorism Chief and author of “Against all Enemies”)

Neo-conservatives like Richard Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Colin Powell, Paul Woosely [Rhodes Scholar], Condoleezza Rice, and others just assented with the Iraq plot. Saddam is indeed an evil criminal, but illegitimate means must not be used to carry out a positive end. With him being a tyrant, the invasions of Sudan, Iran, China, are needed since those nations have genocide of millions of human beings with despotic dictators. The CIA used Hussein himself in 1959 in the attempted assassination of Iraqi leader Qasim. The United States sent Iraq weapons of Mass Destruction. One example of this is when U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld came to Baghdad in December 12th-14th, 1983 to arrange for billions of dollars in loans and supplied Iraq with chemical and biological weapons (as well as cluster bombs) to be used against Iran.


Donald Rumsfeld shook hands Saddam Hussein’s hands in a photo at 1983. War commander General Tommy Franks secretly began the war on March 13, 2003 (according to the DEBKA file Special Report). March 13 is exactly 18 months after 9/11 (18=6+6+6) near the Ides of March (Ides=Roman false god of war). On March 17, 2003, President George W. Bush sent a 48-hour ultimatum to Iraq for a show since this battle was in the making for years. Friday, March 19, 2003 at 9:33 pm. EST was the date Bush publicly ordered the invasion of Iraq. The early warfare (from March 13th-April 5th, 2003) was very easy to defeat the Iraqi military, but the reconstruction is the main problem that the American troops are dealing with.

Just months ago, at November 2003, the U.S. executed “Operation IronHammer” launched by the 1st Armored Division’s 3rd Bridage into the roughest areas of Baghdad to ferret out attackers who murdered scores of U.S. troops since April 2003 (when Hussein was ousted) A Pentagon offical denied any Nazi operation connection by outlining that “Old Ironsides” was the nickname of the 1st Armored Division. The truth is that there is a Nazi relationship with Eisenhammer, the German word for Iron Hammer. This was a Luftwaffe code name to destroy Soviet generating plants in 1943 at Moscow and Gorky. That plan was postponed on many occasions and ended in 1945 when Allied air assault destroyed many German planes on the ground.
The war in Afghanistan was originally called Operation Infinite Justice then changed to Operation Enduring Freedom (for the reason of not offending Muslims ho view Allah as providing infinite justice according to the Koran). The majority of the fighting is at the Sunni Triangle, a 100-mile swat of land from Baghdad north to Tikrit where 80% of the guerilla attacks occur. The Iraq war is a major step to place more power within the United Nations leading to global government. All of the procedures to fight were bounded by U.N. Resolutions, which is wrong because the U.S.A. is a sovereign nation, and can fight without the U.N. approval if the U.S. is truly threatened. The complex question of how to give Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, and Christians' liberty will have to answer as well.

Now, the U.S./U.K. alliance is attempting to plant WMDs receiving them from the southern ports of Iraq recorded in the March 13, 2004 article at the Tehran Times. Over 1100+ American G.I.s died with 11,000+ Iraqi civilians killed for lies. 130,000 U.S. troops plus 25,000 troops from other nations are in Iraq now and this occupation costs $1 billion a week totally in around $120 billion. Our soldiers are just stretched too thin in 70% of the world’s countries with 74,796 troops even in Germany. They want to add 30,000 new U.S. Army troops into Iraq in response to its harsh rigors. The American Empire’s “Shock and Awe” theatrics is still causing problems in Iraq. This is the truth and firm, concise developments of “Operation Iraqi Freedom.” President George W. Bush mislead the American people and we will have to face up to it.


General Tommy Franks Desires to Abolish the U.S. Constitution/War Crimes

Former Central Command commander General Tommy Franks warned in the Cigar Aficionado Magazine that:

“It means the potential of a weapon of mass destruction and a terrorist, massive, casualty-producing event somewhere in the Western world – it may be in the United States of America – that causes our population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution. Two steps, very, very important.”

Wow, Franks clearly said that if an attack occurs in the USA, the scrapping of the U.S. Constitution is in order. When will the Bush followers learn that folks who give up essential liberty for temporary security deserve neither. The neo-cons are just salivating at this. These individuals seek endless, fake terror alerts (i.e. Code Orange) so they can have time to create their possible next terror attack in America or pass the Victory Act. Franks wants martial law to reign with a militarized police state. Today, he’s a Retired U.S. Army General who oversaw military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He recently received Knighthood at May 2004. Britain’s Ministry of Defense said that Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon will make Franks a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in a private ceremony (His name has the KBE after it since ‘sir’ is a distinction reserved for British citizens). The Associated Press on May 25, 2004, 5:27 am. EDT presented this information. Now, Franks is charged with war crimes in Brussels by 20 victims in:

“-The use of cluster bombs
-Attacks on the civilian population including journalists
-Acts of aggression against health services and other Iraqi infrastructure
-Looting protected by or under orders from the U.S. army.” (From http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3449.htm)


Halliburton

One of the greatest war profiteering companies in this generation has to be Halliburton. Erle P. Halliburton whose headquarters were originally in Duncan, Oklahoma, founded this oil company in 1919. By 1961, it moved to Dallas, Texas. Its most infamous head was Richard Cheney, a member of the Bohemian Grove. From 1997-2000, Cheney’s Halliburton sold $73 million (according to the Newsmax Article “Halliburton Iraq Ties More than Cheney said” from June 25, 2001) worth of oil equipment and services to Iraq through subsidiaries Dresser-Rand and Ingersoll Dresser Pump to help rebuilt Iraq. This violated the embargo with Iraq, therefore Cheney is a criminal. Cheney also presided over his company’s job cuts including ca. 11,000 workers in 1999 giving Halliburton $438 million in profits. Since the layoffs, Halliburton was on a new plateau.

Lt. Robert B. Flowers of the Army Corps of Engineers mentioned that Halliburton’s no-bid contracts (without competition) was worth up to $7 billion over 2 years. This will give Halliburton a net profit of $490 million including control over operation distrubition, put out potential oil fires in Iraq, and run all phases of Iraq’s oil industry according to CNN Money. If that’s not bad enough, problems are arising with this corrupt member of the military, industrial complex. Even in January 17, 2004, an article of the NY Times by Eric Schitt outlined that Halliburton restricted $174.5 million to feed our troops in meal planning, food purchasing, and meal preparation until a dispute was settled. Recently in 2004, an audit proved that Halliburton overcharged the U.S. Army for fuel and the overcharge cost is $61 million.

Again, Army Corps of Engineers Lt. General Robert Flowers signed the waiver listing Halliburton subsidiary, Kellogg Brown and Root as a sole source even though there are many competitors. Well, it isn’t just Halliburton exploitation wars, but other select companies such as Bechtel Group, Flour Corp, Parsons Corp., and the Louis Berger Group. All of this was pre-determined. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Iraqi reconstruction plan includes economically important roads, and about 1,500 miles of roadways within 18 months. Bechtel is important as well being a private construction firm from San Francisco. It was award a State Department contract worth up to $680 million (i.e. 34.6 million of 18 month Iraqi reconstruction contract). They will be involved in rehabilitation, expansion, and key elements of Iraq’s infrastructure [i.e. electrical grids, water, and waste water system].

Bechtel wanted an oil pipeline in Iraq and illegally gave weapons into Iraq like cluster bombs (1 out of 24 companies that did this reported in http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article1381.htm) during the 1980’s. This as when Hussein was committing atrocities against the Iraqi people.


New evidence points to a Bechtel-bin Laden connection. The New York magazine article called “The Contractors” from May 5, 2003 reported that the bin Laden family invested $10 million in a private equity fund operated by a former subsidiary of Bechtel (The Fremont Group) before 9/11. The Fremont Group is a San Franscisco private investment firm including Bechtel CEO Riley P. Bechtel and former Bechtel President George P. Shultz (Bohemian Grove member) with other Bechtel directors. Kellogg, Brown and Root was also awarded $33 million to build the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay to house so-called “al-Qaeda” suspects. This is reported in the Mail and Gaurdian Online from http://www.mg.co.za/Content/l3.asp?ao=11956 on April 14, 2004, Corporate Watch on April 24, 2003 at http://www.corporatewatch.org/news/halliburton.htm, and other sources. While this globalist neo-con war is occurring, Cheney is having fun. He received $1 million per year plus a $20 million retirement bonus by Halliburton (Cheney claims the $20 million goes to charity). Halliburton even has political contributions as high as $1.2 million to mostly Republican candidates. The oil belongs to the people of Iraq not select corporations in this phony, crony capitalism.

U.S. Military Support/Iraqi Civilian Deaths/Uranium

I love the troops. I live with a family consisting of a military background. I truly respect all of the sacrifice our soldiers gave to this country. Supporting the troops is not what Bush is doing; he’s killing them in an illegal war. The best way to support the troops is just tell them the truth about the Iraq War being fought for lies. The troops should be praised but told the truth and use their resources to improve the country of Iraq and no longer join in wars unless for a just and legitimate reason. George W. Bush hasn’t even given the military body armor, veteran benefits, or sending our troops home from the National Guard. That’s isn’t patriotic. For almost 13 years, the United Nations Security Council imposed an all-encompassing embargo in Iraqi imports and exports. This was utilized to force Hussein to destroy his WMDs (which were nearly gone by the late 1990s) and it killed:

“…According to UN aid agencies, by the mid-1990s about 1.5 million Iraqis - including 565,000 children - had perished as a direct result of the embargo, which included "holds" on vital goods such as chemicals and equipment to produce clean drinking water. Former assistant secretary general of the United Nations, Dennis Halliday, quit in protest in 1998 after one year at the helm as the UN humanitarian coordinator in Iraq. He described the sanctions as genocidal…" (From Sanctions killed 1.5m Iraqis: UN agencies by Rob Kennedy at http://dawn.com/2003/06/12/int13.htm)

The embargo even withheld vital goods like chemicals and equipment to produce clean-drinking water. John Pilger, an award-winning journalist exposing also the U.S./U.K. folly by producing “Paying the Price: Killing the Children of Iraq” outlined that up to July 2002, the U.S. backed by Britain obstructed $5.4 billion in vital humanitarian supplies for the people. Even the UNICEF admitted in October 1996 that 4,500 Iraqi children under 5 died every month by a product of sanctions inducing starvation and disease. You can’t really talk about Iraq without knowing about Depleted Uranium. Depleted Uranium is a product of nuclear power plants. All forms of uranium (whether natural, depleted, or enriched) are a toxic, radiological element. Exposure to this leads to problems with your lungs, kidneys, bones, and etc. resulting in genetic damage, cancer, and even death. 375 tons are used in the 1991 Gulf War. In fact, the Gulf syndrome is most probably a product of D.U. (Depleted Uranium) irradiation, vaccines, plus local biting insects (parasites).

120,000 Gulf War veterans are chronically ill (The government is complicit in this). A U.S. Department of Veterans study of251 veteran’s families found that 67% had children with severe illness or birth defects. In this 21st century Iraq war, experts from the U.S. and U.K. estimated that 1,100-2,200 tons of Armour piercing shells was made of D.U. during the attack of Iraqi forces in Baghdad. The U.S. in 2004 dropped 10 times more of D.U. than the Gulf War on the entire land. Iraqi civilians are affected as well. The higher weight of D.U. shells allows U.S. tanks to shoot twice as far and gives them a range of 2 miles. According to Dutch Laka Foundation, the U.S. left 800 tons of radioactive waste from all over Kuwait and Iraq-poisoning the air, land, water, and the people everywhere. 1,000s of Iraqis babies have birth defects. The first Fullujah massacre (in the conservative Sunni town of Fallujah, 35 miles west of Baghdad) was the 82nd Airborne Division randomly opened fire on a crowd of demonstrators. Even a 13-year old body was dead by troops which mistaken them as the enemy. More than 1,000 Iraqi boys are jailed or detained by the U.S. according to Al-Jazeera in March 7, 2004.

They are given no rights, or lawyers, and mostly denied visits. Many Iraqi prisoners have suffered through obscene torture exposed at Abu Ghriab by http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/04/29/1083224523783.html and http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3672901.stm in the BBC News, UK Daily Mail, NY Times, Washington Post, and Reuters all reported in April 30, 2004. American soldiers suffered death, P.O.Ws, terror, and other negative acts by Muslim extremists, Ba’athist remmence, Fedhyadhen, and al-Qaeda, etc. In March 31, 2004, insurgents killed American soldiers. Their bodies were mutilated and dangled on a bridge, which is also sick and wrong.

Divisions/Puppet Leadership/Iraqi Constitution

The 3 main groups in Iraq are the Sunni, Shia, and the Kurds vying for liberty and political control. If true democracy (mob rule) is brought to Iraq, the Shiites will have more control since they make up 60% of the population. The Bush White House doesn’t want this since the Shiites have their Islamic clerics influenced by Iran leading towards a Muslim theocracy. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on the eve of his tour in Iraq as early as June 2003 voiced that “A vocal minority clamoring to transform Iran’s image will not be permitted to do so.” Extremely influential Ayatollah Sistani is one such Shia cleric who wants the democratic process to be faster and America is less reluctant to follow his lead.
Sistani doesn’t advocate a theocracy, but al-Sadr does.The other problem is that if the Shi’ites are too underrepresented, those peaceful Shiites unit could join the violent insurgency to rebel. The combined terrorist/Shiite unit would be too large to contain by occupying U.S. military force already stretched too thin. Prior to the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Sunnis ruled Iraq for centuries. During the Ottoman Empire’s reign over Iraq, it was still a Sunni-controlled state. Many of the Shia was persecuted for their religious beliefs on Islam. Saddam killed the Kurds and the Kurds fear U.S. betrayal along with being under represented. Unfortunately, the Anglo-American imperialist force had puppet leadership for a long time including now. If the Illuminati fermented this war for a false pretext and sinister motives, then it’s reasonable to assume that they will hand pick Iraqi leadership instead of letting the Iraqi citizens decide.
I will explore 3 men: Saddam Hussein, Abdul Majid al-Khoei, and Ahmed Chalibi. In 1959, the CIA organized a coup against Iraqi leader Abdel Karim Qasim (pro-Communist and Soviet leaning) with a 6-man assassination team. Saddam Hussein was part of that team. It failed. By 1963, the other coup was successful with help from the CIA to overthrow Qadim and establish the Baath party into party. Ali Saleh Sa’adi (the Ba’ath Secretary general) even admitted that “we came to power on a CIA train.” Roger Morris (a former State Department foreign service officer who was on the National Security Councils staff during the Johnson and Nixon administrations) agreed with the CIA/Ba’ath party/Saddam link.
In the middle of the 1980s, Miles Copeland, a veteran CIA operative, told UPI that the CIA had "close ties" with Qasim's ruling Baath Party, just as it had close connections with the intelligence service of Egyptian leader Gamel Abd Nassar. Soon the Ba’ath party was booted after 1963 so CIA again supported the Ba’ath party coup (a palace revolt) in 1968 led by Hassan al-Bakr who gave power to his protégé Saddam Hussein by 1979. The rest is history. The second puppet, Abdul Majid al-Khoei was sent by the U.S. to Basra to convince the Shiites to go along with the illegal U.S. war in Iraq. He was assassinated in April 2003.

The most famous figurehead is Ahmed Chalabi. He was born in 1945 and his grandfather was a minister in the Iraqi parliament during the 1920’s. He won’t be the new leader of Iraq since Allahwi (a paid CIA person for years) is the new Prime “Minister” of Iraq. When the King Faisal II was toppled in 1958, Chalabi’s family fled. He was educated in America. Dr. Chalabi’s is a protégé of Albert Wohlstetter (a neo-con at the University of Chicago) In the 1970’s he was a math professor at the University of Beirut. Ahmed served as an agent for the Shah of Iran’s feared SAVAK secret police. Also, when he was an adult, he ran a bank in Jordan (the Petra bank in Amman). In 1992, a Jordanian court sentenced Chalabi won absentia to 22 years in prison to hard labor for embezzlement (of $60 million), theft, etc. after the collapse of the businessman’s Jordanian bank. He fled when Jordan’s central bankers were trying to uncover what happened to about $300 million in missing deposits.

The Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolofwitz gang is united with him. He loves Israel (I don’t have a problem with that) and desires an oil pipeline from Iraq to Israel. When other neo-cons like Richard Perle and Joseph Liberman are his friends, then Chalabi is a tool. Now he’s the Shiite leader of the Iraqi National Congress. The interim Iraq Constitution was approved upon March 8, 2004. Paul Bremer, the top civilian administrator in Iraq, must fully approve it. This is a 25-page document that classifies Iraq as “federal, democratic, and pluralistic.” Islam is the official religion, but not in a theocratic sense, but within basic religion freedom.

In the Iraqi Constitution, there is no fundamental, individual right to bear arms. Article 17 just says that arms can be restricted by use of statutory law. Individual militias are banned except provided by federal law. Collin Powell hails the Constitution. Angel Shanya (founder and executive director of Keep and Bear Arms) plus Erich Pratt (director of communication for Gun Owners of America) criticized this immoral prohibition of arms. Any people including the Iraqis have a right to have weapons to defend themselves and they should have guns. The Iraqi people are restricted in their calls for immediate, democratic elections. (That's Similar to the electronic phony voting system in America). Even peaceful demonstrations are limited in Iraq:

“If a permit is granted, the American statement said, demonstrators would not be allowed to wear the traditional galabiya (a loose shirt-like garment), helmets, hoods or even cover their faces. Would-be Iraqi demonstrators must also not carry guns, even the licensed, stones or sticks, added the statement. Last but not least, any demonstration must not last more than four hours and should not be organized less than 500 meters away from the headquarters of the occupation forces and the affiliated institutions. According to the statement issued by the U.S.-led occupation forces any "breach" of these restrictions will result in the detention and trial of the "violator”. (From http://www.islamonline.net/English/News/2004-01/01/article04.shtml U.S. Restricts Demonstrations In Iraq by Aws Al-Sharqy, IOL Correspondent January 1, 2004)

*The U.S. and the U.K. denied the Iraqis real self-rule and sovereignty many times. June 30, 2004 came and Iraq is classified as a “sovereign country.”

As an aside note: In early April 2004, chaos reigned in central Iraq starting with Shiite cleric Motqata al-Sadr (his father was murdered by Saddam’s militia in 1999. He appears to be controlled by Iran) from Fullujah. Sadr fiercely opposes U.S. occupation so he inspired the Shia to fight American troops (to form a theocracy). The result is a short uprising by many Shiites. 12 Marines were killed in Ar Ramadi in April 6th, 2004. Fights occurred simultaneously at one point in Najar and other locations with the Mehdi Army, a militia group. Al-Sadr forces were once formidable part of 3 fronts of attacks on the U.S. (i.e. al-Sadr loyalists, Sunni insurgency, and al-Qeada terrorists now in Iraq). Sadr was hold up in a mosque holy (on April 7, they bombed a wall near it with a 500lb. Bomb) to Muslims then Operation Vigilant Resolve (U.S. offensive) came and defeated them. Sadr is in prison now.
Pax Americana

A report written at September 2000 called the “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” authored by military men but published by 6 members of the current administration including Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton, I. Lewis Libby, with 21 other people (all members of the PNAC [Project for a New American Century, a neo-con think-tank since 1997)]. Jay Bockman, journalist and a scholar of the report exposed it as “In essence, it lays out a plan for a permanent U.S. military and economic domination of every region on the globe, unfettered by international treaty or concern. And to make the plan a reality, it envisions a stark expansion of our global military presence.” And “They envision the creation of what they call a worldwide ‘Pax Americana’ or American peace. But so far, the American people have not appreciated the true extent of that ambition.” (From http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article2319.htm )

Simply put, the Pax Americana will try to put permanent stationing of troops in the Middle East, extend American hegemony by force of arms (in a nefarious way) across the globe, and constantly attack sovereign nations [60+]. The 2002 military budget alone was $345.7 billion with more rising in the future. Iran and Syria could be the next wars using Iraq and Afghanistan as buffer zones in 2 fronts of attack. In fact Iraq, Iran, and North Korea are nations coined in the “Axis of Evil” phrase created by neo-conservative David Frum of the American Enterprise Institute. George W. Bush spoke of it in his State of the Union address on January 28th, 2002. The future is also more than America for America is only used as a tool by these evil internationalists.

This aftermath of Iraq will also increase the power of the United Nations to rule the world. Now, the U.S. is increasingly eager to accept a larger U.N. role. Secretary General Kofi Annan said he would soon send a team to Iraq but in a political setting not his military force. Even the British according to the Observer calls for the bigger U.N. role in the new phase of the “war in Iraq.” NATO is going over there as well. The Hegelian Dialect is easily outlined as this: “Anglo-American alliance for war in Iraq (Bad Cop) + “fake” U.N. Opposition to the War in Iraq (Good Cop) = United Nations control of Iraq and Continued Goal of a One World Government.
