The Bush gang was handed a little setback in their hit against Iraq. Iraq has agreed to let in the inspectors without conditions. Even the conditions that no other government would except, namely that the US still calls for the ouster of Hussein even if he agrees to let inspectors back in. Looks like ‘Operation Take The Oilfields’ will have to be changed a little. The troops have been built up, the weapons have been ordered. Let there be no doubt that Bush still intends to carry out this criminal enterprise. It will be done, maybe not until after the mid-term elections, but it will happen. With that said, I came across this interesting article today. It’s not something you will read about in the corporate American media which has no interest in providing real information.
Let’s make one thing clear, the Bush administration has absolutely no evidence of anything linking Iraq to September 11th., but that’s not stopping them. Some flimsy justification will be made, and with the members of the UN Security Council paid off this so-called war will go forward.
America plans PR blitz on Saddam:
THE Bush Administration is to launch a multimillion-dollar PR blitz against Saddam Hussein, using advertising techniques to persuade crucial target groups that the Iraqi leader must be ousted.
The campaign will consist of dossiers of evidence detailing Saddam’s breaches of UN resolutions, and will be launched this week at American and foreign audiences, particularly in Arab nations sceptical of US policy in the region.
The White House is aware that it lacks substantial new intelligence on Saddam’s nuclear programme or evidence directly linking Baghdad to the September 11 attacks. But it will build on the contents of President’s Bush’s speech made to the UN General Assembly last week, in which he listed Saddam’s violations of UN resolutions.
The campaign, which will initially receive over $200 million (£130 million), will be overseen by the Office of Global Communications, whose existence will not be formally announced until next month.
This is what we’ve become. A corruption of American ideals. The bully of the world.

“When there is a regime change in Iraq, you could add three million to five million barrels [per day] of production to world supply,” he said. “The successful prosecution of the war would be good for the economy.”
While I don’t agree with everything this guy says (namely his praise of GW’s leadership abilities), he is very much on target with his breakdown of why Iraq (in particular Saddam) is indeed a threat to the stability of the region. Bush may be using terrorism as a flimsy excuse to charge after Saddam, but the fact of the matter is that action against him should have been approved long before now on the basis of his flagrant disregard for the demands of the UN. The comparison to pre-WWII Germany is fairly accurate. Right down to the economical sanctions being a precipator to further conflict. If we had been a bit more persistent with Desert Storm the sanctions would not have been necessary and we would not be in the position we are in now.
Oh, and I promise I’ll write a few articles for the site at some point. Really. :P
Doh! I forgot the link I referenced in my first reply. Here it is: http://www.kuro5hin.org/comments/2002/9/15/12033/1702/294?mode=alone;showrate=1#294
Bush and his band of pirates are morons…….they are just being sore losers and crying about Iraq letting UN inspectors back in.
