The President is a War Criminal Nor did Iraq use depleted uranium in its conventional weapons - which can cause long term medical problems, all types of cancer, and kill innocent civilians who come in contact with it. The U.S. used napalm in Vietnam. It may have used nerve gas in Cambodia. The George Bush gang of warmongers pulled out all the stops to convince the world that war was necessary and the only choice, Iraq even agreed to U2 overflights, including French, and Russian surveillance aircraft. But it didn’t make any difference because U.S. forces were already deployed and prepared to attack. This president is a war criminal. His intention from the very beginning of his presidency was to attack Iraq. The posturing was part of the way this preparation for war was orchestrated. Chemical and biological weapons enable a poor country to compete with a rich country which has nuclear weapons and the U.S. has more of them than anyone else. It also has more chemical and biological agents than any other country. Nuclear weapons are not only the most dangerous weapons of mass destruction, but far more dependable than other weapons of mass destruction. The U.S. had them all in Iraq and Afghanistan. It used and still uses nuclear armaments. Yet, the media is curiously silent. Depleted uranium is a major cause for concern. Meanwhile, the U.S. wants other countries it doesn’t like to give up all their weapons of mass destruction, whereas countries it does like can keep them. And George W. Bush intends to flex his super power weapons of mass destruction arms to get them to do it. "Chemicals are the inexpensive weapons of mass destruction, and, as Arab nations have argued on numerous occasions, states cannot be expected to renounce such weapons so long as their enemies maintain atomic arms." (Stephen Rosskamm Shalom, "Imperial Alibis", South End Press, 93) "The nuclear powers have taught by example over the last four decades that real international status comes from being able to threaten the incineration of large numbers of people. Accordingly, aspiring global players in the Third World have sought to obtain nuclear weapons or, where that has not been possible, the cheaper alternative. Thus the spread of chemical weapons and nuclear proliferation are inextricably linked." (Shalom) Never Any Proof Dick Chaney said Iraq was so dangerous because it not only had "chemical, biological and nuclear weapons" but it would put those weapons of mass destruction into the hands of al-Qaeda. He didn’t stop there with his manufactured reasons for attacking Iraq. The vice president claimed that Iraq was training al-Qaeda. But there was never any proof of those claims. Like all the other stories from these liars, this too was bogus. Colin Powell’s so-called "evidence" to the Security Council wasn’t proof, it was a joke. All of his allegations (the allegations of this war administration) have been disproved. They are lies. They have no basis in fact --- because George Bush’s evidence had been fabricated to justify attacking Iraq. These lies were a pretence for war. It was blood for oil. Iraq was accused of gassing Iranian troops during the Iran-Iraq war and again of using chemical or biological weapons against Kurds. That proof is sketchy and refutable as to whether it was Iranians or Iraqis who did the gassing. But someone gassed the Kurds and the U.S. knew at the time it was being done and they did nothing to stop it and wouldn’t even let them fight back. And the U.S. cannot take the moral high ground because the U.S. uses napalm (renamed something else) in Iraq, which is a horrible weapons of mass destruction. "Four American physicians, in a report, `Medical Problems of South Vietnam,’ have written: `Napalm is a highly sticky inflammable jelly which clings to anything it touches and burns with such heat that all oxygen in the area is exhausted within moments. Death is either by roasting or by suffocation. Napalm wounds are often fatal (estimates are 90 percent). Those who survive face a living death. The victims are frequently children.’ Napalm is dropped daily on the villages, the forests, the people of Vietnam by American bombers; the saturation bombing of that tiny country is one of the cruelest acts perpetrated by any nation in modern history; it ranks with the destruction of Lidice by the Germans, the crushing of the Hungarian rebellion by the Russians, or the recent mass slaughter in Indonesia. Dr. Richard E. Perry, an American physician, wrote in REDBOOK in January 1967, on his return from Vietnam: `I have been an orthopedic surgeon for a good number of years, with rather a wide range of medical experience. But nothing could have prepared me for my encounters with Vietnamese women and children burned by napalm. It was shocking and sickening, even for a physician, to see and smell the blackened flesh.’" (Howard Zinn, "On War", 2001, Seven Stories Press) Iraq didn’t use cluster bombs. The U.S. used cluster bombs in every conflict. Iraq didn’t use nuclear weapons. The U.S. used depleted uranium munitions in every comflict. Nor did Iraq use depleted uranium in its conventional weapons - which can cause long term medical problems, all types of cancer, and kill innocent civilians who come in contact with it. The U.S. used napalm in Vietnam. It may have used nerve gas in Cambodia. (The expose of Operation Tailwind on CNN, a covert military operation during the Vietnam War, which was refuted by the Defense Department but they have often refuted what later we find to be the truth - just like they did a hachet job on Dan Rather after the Bush-National Guard story, but Rather insists the story was the truth even though there were problems with the source.) Chicken hawk, George W. Bush didn’t show up for National Guard duty for an entire year. He never reported for duty. He evaded the Vietnam war because of his daddy’s influence. And there is proof of George Bush’s lack of compassion. As a kid in Texas he did what all potential psychopaths do, the perversity of George W. Bush has been written about elsewhere how he would shoot fogs with his bb gun and blow them up with fire crackers. "But for added amusement, George W. Bush and his friends used to tuck firecrackers into the mouths of frogs, throw them in the air, and watch them explode." (Linda McQuaig, "Don’t let Bush light Iraq fire" (12-15-2002) - The Toronto Star - a story told by a childhood friend described in a New York Times profile for the 2000 election campaign.) "Despite psychiatric evidence that children who are cruel to animals often go on to be abusive adults, the U.S. media apparently decided that the torture of frogs was nothing more than a charming little anecdote from Dubya’s early years. (Imagine what the media would make of a charming little childhood anecdote like that, if it were in Saddam Hussein’s background." (McQuaig) "It should have at least been a clue that Bush - now the most powerful man in the world - has a taste for blowing things up, not to mention an insensitivity to suffering." (McQuaig) George Bush enjoys bombing civilians; thousands of them in Afghanistan. It is estimated that over a hundred thousand have been killed in Iraq. One can hardly justify this massive destruction of infrastructure, the and the consequences of this destruction on the environment and to the health of those civilians who did not die right away. One can not realistically call the massacres in Afghanistan a form of self-defense or a proportional and realistic approach to terrorism. "..the term `self-defense’ does not apply when you drop bombs in heavily populated residential areas and kill people other than your attacker. And it doesn’t apply when there is no likelihood that this action will make the world less violent." (Howard Zinn, "Terrorism and the War", 2003) "..People in the Bush administration are also talking about waging wars in other countries like Somalia and Syria. I notice they don’t mention Turkey or Saudi Arabia. There is a precise division between who we bomb and who we don’t bomb. The division has nothing to do with which countries may be harboring terrorists. The division has only to do with which countries we don’t control yet. The countries that we control, like Turkey and Saudi Arabia, can harbor as many terrorists as they want. We will look elsewhere." (Zinn) George Bush Enjoys Blowing up Things. This is only the beginning. George Bush enjoys blowing up people like he enjoyed executing prisoners (he executed more death row prisoners than executed by any governor in the history of this country) in Texas and like he enjoyed blowing up frogs as a kid. "I think the American public has not yet absorbed the statements that the Bush administration is making about this being a war that will go on and on. People need to ask, `Do we want our children and our grandchildren to be living in a state of perpetual warfare, with more and more of the world becoming hostile to us, and with the United States responsible for more and more human casualties in the world?’" (Zinn) The media is a tool of the ruling class. The media reports generally what the establishment tells them to report. Independent investigative journalist exists but it is mostly on the fringe. There is much more information on the internet than in a press which is owned by a few media moguls and like other businesses it wants to keep it’s major commercial interests and owners happy. And the media is also entertainment, it isn’t honest reporting of news and in depth investigation. The only place to get that information is on National Public television, on programs like Nova and Frontline. Most people would rather be entertained than watch an analysis of the news from European Journal or sometimes what may make it to the BACK PAGES of the New York Times. The George Bush gang of warmongers pulled out all the stops to convince the world that war was necessary and the only choice, Iraq even agreed to U2 overflights, including French, and Russian surveillance aircraft. But it didn’t make any difference because U.S. forces were already deployed and prepared to attack. "The Bush administration responded almost immediately by calling the Iraqi concessions a tactical gesture designed to divide the U.N. Security Council and weaken its resolve to compel Baghdad to disarm." ("Iraq OKs overflights in search for arms" - (02-11-2003) - The Record (Bergen County, NJ)) "President Bush stepped up his rhetorical campaign against Saddam Hussein on Monday with accusations that the Iraqi leader would use civilians to shield his troops. Denouncing Hussein as the true enemy of Iraq’s people, Bush accused him of regarding civilians as `human shields, entirely expendable when their suffering serves his purpose.’" (ibid) Several peace groups volunteered to go to Iraq to act as human shields to try to stop the invasion and they went but it didn’t stop George Bush. He never listened to the millions of anti-war protestors. He wasn’t interested in saving lives and it was of little concern that 70% of the smart bombs in the first Gulf War missed their target with many of them killing civilians. Civilians have always been expendable to this administration. Iraqis cooperated with the weapons inspectors and the United States. They were even allowing journalists to conduct their own inspections of the various sites. "`We don’t have any of these weapons now, and we have no intention of acquiring any in the future,’ Maj-Gen. Hussam Mohammed Amin, the head of Iraq’s National Monitoring Directorate, told Maclean’s in Baghdad. `If the U.S. allows the minimum of fairness and demonstrates the minimum of courage, then they will accept this report as proof of Iraq’s disarmament.’" Without provocation the "U.S. and British jets have stepped up their attacks in the no-fly zones in the north and south of Iraq and have repeatedly mounted attacks against Iraqi radar installations..." ("Scott Taylor, "Longing for Peace.." (12-23-2002) - Macleans) "And what if all those people who declare(d) their support for Bush’s `war on terrorism’ could see the real human beings who are dying under our bombs, not just the media images of al-Qaeda or Osama bin Laden? What if they learned more about the many human tragedies in Afghanistan--the names of the dead, images of the villages that were bombed, the words of a father who lost his children, the ages of the children? I think they would have second thoughts. Unlike the fanatics in Washington and around the country who are willing--like their counterparts around the world--to kill for some cause, most Americans would being to understand that the war we are waging is a war on ordinary men, women, and children, especially if the stories of people in Afghanistan were told." (Zinn) "I think most people have supported this war because they hope it will in some way be effective in stopping terrorism. But I think they would be repelled by the idea that revenge is driving our policy." (Zinn) George Bush, War Criminal This president is a war criminal. His intention from the very beginning of his presidency was to attack Iraq. The posturing was part of the way this preparation for war was orchestrated.
