CONFIRMED: USA "ITCHING TO BOMB" IRAQ
-------------------------------------
(CNNS, 12/08/98) -- In a CNNS (Conspiracy Nation News Service)
press release dated 11/23/98 ("USA 'Just Itching' To Bomb
Iraq!"), we warned that the United States was aroused into a
pre-climax near-orgasmic state which could only be satisfied by
dropping bombs and missiles on Iraq.
Now, a report in The Nation magazine ("Killing Iraq", 12/14/98)
confirms earlier fears that the U.S., at this point in its
arousal, is unlikely to just take a cold shower and forget about
it. Based on our earlier report and the latest report from
Nation magazine, a U.S. military strike on Iraq seems to be a
foreplayed conclusion.
CONFIRMED: CNNS headlined, on 11/23/98, that USA was "just
itching" to bomb Iraq.
Writes John Pilger in The Nation: The Clinton Administration
"is itching to bomb Iraq."
CONFIRMED: CNNS observed, on 11/23/98, that "just when the
starving and dying people of Iraq were poised to overthrow Saddam
Hussein, here comes USA to provide a reason for them to instead
rally 'round Saddam against the foreign infidels."
Writes Pilger in The Nation: "...sanctions [against Iraq]
also strengthen Saddam Hussein, as the Kurds and Shiites, his
bitter opponents, repeatedly point out."
CONFIRMED: That the common people of Iraq have been dying in
horrendous numbers over the years, as a result of sanctions
manipulated primarily by USA, as mentioned by CNNS (11/23/98).
Writes Pilger in The Nation, using a recent book by British
historian Geoff Simons as his source: "Eight years of sanctions
have killed 2 million Iraqis... including perhaps as many as a
million children."
CONFIRMED: That the now inevitable attack on Iraq is motivated,
in large part, by the wishes of BIG OIL, alarmed at falling
prices and wanting to cut Iraqi oil out of the market. CNNS
failed to mention this in its original article, but Kenn Thomas,
author of several books and editor of Steamshovel Press, later
contacted CNNS and pointed out this BIG OIL angle on the
situation.
Writes Pilger in The Nation: Part of America's obsession with
Iraq is due to "the more immediate practical need to protect
Saudi oil prices, and the Saudi economy, from the competition of
cheaper Iraqi oil."
LIKELY: That dropping millions of dollars worth of bombs on Iraq
will deplete USA weapons inventories, thus benefiting "defense"
contractors, as reported by CNNS on 11/23/98.
Mr. Pilger, in his otherwise excellent article, fails to
mention THE MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX as a key beneficiary of
the planned massive bombing of Iraq.
RECOMMENDED: The book, "The Scourging of Iraq: Sanctions, Law
and Natural Justice," by Geoff Simons. (Pilger recommends the
book in his article in Nation magazine.) According to Mr.
Simons, writes Pilger, the sanctions against Iraq have killed TWO
MILLION IRAQIS. Given that the World War II Holocaust killed 6
million Jews, "TEAM USA" is on its way to capturing the GOLD
MEDAL in the OLYMPICS OF GENOCIDE.
