The 'Iraqgate' and 'War Against Terrorism'
Deceptions

Campbell, Blair and the Bush Administration: The Art of Deceit

"I saw enough war to last a lifetime. In my 86 years, I've never known a bully who was right. I consider George Bush's foreign policy loathsome; and worse, it's dangerous beyond words"
Theodore R. Treadwell, Danbury, Connecticut, US
Letters, Time Magazine, 20 January 2003, Europe print edition

"Retired Swedish Brigadier General Bo Pellnas, who was head of UN Military Observers (UNMOs) in Croatia, now says that the US should not be trusted. Pellnas says that he learned to distrust US-provided evidence during peacekeeping service in the former Yugoslavia. Pellnas's misgivings are described in an article from the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet. [which states that ] 'In an interview with Sweden's leading news-wire TT, retired Brigadier Bo Pellnas claims that the US 'faked evidence to suit their own interests.'..'..."

Britain disputes terror link to police murder
Guardian, 6 February 2003

"Downing Street's embarrassment over its Iraq 'intelligence' dossier deepened yesterday with the disclosure that key sections were cobbled together by junior communications unit staff, including Alastair Campbell’s secretary. Officials also admitted that chunks of the document — praised by Colin Powell on Wednesday for its 'exquisite detail' — were copied word-for-word from an article by a 29-year-old Californian academic. He, in turn, sourced his information to a 1999 book by the former weapons inspector Scott Ritter, who opposes President Bush’s Iraq policy..... Sources at No 10 privately admit that early in January, Mr Blair’s aides started to panic as it became clear the UN weapons inspectors were not close to finding a 'smoking gun'.... Labour MPs voiced anger that the Government’s case was built on such apparently flimsy ground. The former Defence Minister Peter Kilfoyle said: 'It just adds to the general impression that what we have been treated to is a farrago of half-truths, assertions and over-the-top spin. I am afraid this is typical of the way in which the whole question of a potential war on Iraq is being treated.'...."

"If that was presented to Parliament and the country as being up-to-date intelligence.... it is another example of how the government is attempting to mislead the country and Parliament on the issue of a possible war with Iraq. And of course to mislead is a Parliamentary euphemism for lying."
Iraq dossier 'solid' - Downing Street
BBC Online, 7 Feb 2003 also on Radio 4 Today Programme

"The famed dossier presented by British Prime Minister Tony Blair to his Parliament was plagiarized from two articles and a September 2002 research paper submitted by a graduate student.... Worse, the Iraq described by the graduate student is not the Iraq of 2003 but the Iraq of 1991.... What was also disclosed was that certain portions of the academic report were altered by the PM Tony Blair to make them more inflammatory. In one cited instance Blair changed 'aiding opposition groups' to 'supporting terrorists.'.... This story is incredible proof of the cynicism, dishonesty and callousness of the tyrants pushing the world toward destruction. And Iraq is merely the first stop on a sequential plan for control of the last remaining oil reserves on the planet."

"...the expression 'blood on his hands' ... applies especially to those modern political leaders who have had no personal experience of war, like George W Bush, who managed not to serve in Vietnam, and the effete Tony Blair. There is about them the essential cowardice of the man who causes death and suffering not by his own hand but through a chain of command that affirms his 'authority'....The current American elite is the Third Reich of our times... It is Washington's utter disregard for humanity, I believe, together with Blair's lies that have turned most people in this country against them, including people who have not protested before... Blair's deceptions are too numerous to list here. "

“To be honest, I think it’s a crock of s***... People talk about it all the time around here [on this US aircraft carrier]. They think this is all bulls***. Nobody really wants to go to war. I’m getting out of the Navy as soon as I can. My Mom’s really nervous. I’m just out of high school and now I’m off to fight a war. I wanted to go to college, but my family didn’t have enough money."

"When Mr Blair denied that an invasion would stimulate Arab fanaticism, Mr Horan [MP] pointed out that Osama's al-Qa'ida was formed as a direct response to the American invasion of Kuwait. There was no evading that. As this was heroic of Mr Horan, it's unlikely we'll hear of him again."

"As the countdown continues toward war against Iraq, it's worth listening one last time to the arguments against that conflict, as laid out this week by one of America's most distinguished retired generals, Wesley K. Clark.... [1999 NATO commander in Kosovo] Clark worries that the Iraq policy is fatally flawed because it's likely to create new recruits for America's main enemy -- the Islamic fundamentalists who destroyed the World Trade Center and attacked the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001."

"The official Dutch inquiry into the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, released last week, contains one of the most sensational reports on western intelligence ever published. Officials have been staggered by its findings and the Dutch government has resigned.... Now we have the full story of the secret alliance between the Pentagon and radical Islamist groups from the Middle East designed to assist the Bosnian Muslims... in flagrant violation of the UN security council arms embargo against all combatants in the former Yugoslavia. The result was a vast secret conduit of weapons smuggling though Croatia. This was arranged by the clandestine agencies of the US, Turkey and Iran, together with a range of radical Islamist groups, including Afghan mojahedin and the pro-Iranian Hizbullah.... Initially aircraft from Iran Air were used, but as the volume increased they were joined by a mysterious fleet of black C-130 Hercules aircraft. The report stresses that the US was 'very closely involved' in the airlift. Mojahedin fighters were also flown in... the Pentagon's own secret service was the hidden force behind these operations."

"The week before the 911 attacks the London Times reported that 'The Pentagon has secretly built a germ factory capable of producing enough deadly bacteria to kill millions of people. The project is one of a number of covert biological initiatives pursued by the United States over recent years. One proposal awaiting final approval is to manufacture a more potent version of anthrax using genetically engineered biological agents...'. CBS [has since] confirmed that the US defence establishment has not passed a government audit in a decade.

"It is not just wild-eyed western peaceniks that believe oil is at the centre - or close to the centre - of the pending conflict. It is quite a commonly held view even in the conservative business world but few are willing to express such things publicly... Fadel Gheit, a former Mobil chemical engineer and now an investment specialist with New York brokerage firm Fahnestock & Co, told 50 of the largest pension funds and financial investors in America before Christmas that the expected war was 'all about oil' and that the global fight against terrorism was just 'camouflage' to mask the real purpose. Later he told the Guardian: 'The Americans have nothing against the people of Iraq but our way of life is dependent on 20m barrels a day and half of it has to be imported. We are like a patient on oil dialysis. It's a matter of life and death.

Extract from chart in London Times (print edition), 14 Jan 2003

"Forties, the largest oilfield discovered in the UK North Sea, is to be sold by BP in a deal that marks a watershed in Britain’s declining offshore oil industry... Discovered in October 1970 by the Sea Quest drilling platform, production was inaugurated five years later by the Queen. The field rapidly came to symbolise Britain’s North Sea oil boom. Within three years, Forties was pumping 500,000 barrels per day down a 170-kilometre pipeline to the company’s refinery at Grangemouth in Scotland. Forties has delivered 2.5 billion barrels of oil over three decades but today its produces little more than 45,000 bpd."

The Lies We Are Told About Iraq - Los Angeles Times, 5 January 2003
Canadian TV documentary: US lied about Gulf War missile “hits”

Either someone is lying to the British Prime Minister, or he is lying to us. Either way the British people are being lied to by their government. This was already clear well before the latest 10 Downing Street scandal over its plagiarised and vacuous Iraq 'dossier', which tries to pass off long out of date information available in the public domain as up-to-the-minute intelligence and a justification for war.

On 16 January Tony Blair told MPs in the House of Commons: "Let me deal with the conspiracy theory idea that this is somehow to do with oil. There is no way whatever if oil were the issue that it would not be infinitely simpler to cut a deal with Saddam...".

Unfortunately for the Prime Minister it is now known that a Bush administration policy document recommended military action against Iraq long before 911 specifically on the basis of America's need for foreign oil. According to Glasgow's Sunday Herald 6 October 2002 "President Bush's Cabinet agreed in April 2001 that 'Iraq remains a destabilising influence to the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East' and because this is an unacceptable risk to the US 'military intervention' is necessary. Vice-president Dick Cheney, who chairs the White House Energy Policy Development Group, commissioned a report [on which this policy was built] from the Baker Institute for Public Policy, a think-tank set up by James Baker, the former US secretary of state under George Bush Snr...."

In a separate article in the same edition the Herald quotes the Baker report as saying: "... the United States remains a prisoner of its energy dilemma.... the American people continue to demand plentiful and cheap energy without sacrifice or inconvenience... [with the] energy sector in critical condition, a crisis could erupt at any time [which] could have potentially enormous impact on the US ...[Iraq is the] key swing producer ... turning its taps on and off when it has felt such action was in its strategic interest... [there is a] possibility that Saddam may remove Iraqi oil from the market for an extended period of time.."

So if Blair thinks a deal could be done with Saddam, the Bush administration doesn't. If Blair is not going to war for oil, the Americans are and it is they who are in the driving seat.

That the British Prime Minister is able to proclaim to fellow parliamentarians that the proposed war with Iraq is not about oil (irrespective of whether Saddam actually has weapons of mass destruction or not) indicates that something very serious has gone adrift in Britain. What is not clear is where the roots of this problem are to be found.

Are they within 10 Downing St? Or are they within the Foreign Office or the security services who are briefing the Prime Minister?

It is clear from the revelations provided in recent years by whistle-blowing MI5 officer, David Shayler, that elements within the government apparatus in Britain have been willing to use the cover of the Official Secrets Act to act beyond the law, even to the point of funding al Qaeda to carry out politically convenient terrorist work overseas. Both the Foreign Secretary and the Home Secretary have been involved in suppressing the disclosure of information about these criminal activities.

From this distance it is impossible to know whether the Prime Minister is operating in such matters on his own initiative or in collaboration such forces within Whitehall; or whether they are pushing him in a particular direction to serve their own agenda.

As a branch of the Foreign Office MI6 (or parts of it as disclosed by Shayler) is much more suspect in this respect than the Ministry of Defense Intelligence Staff who have recently sought to expose Downing Street's false claims of links between Iraq and al Qaeda (their unprecedented move most likely reflects the known concern of the British military that the proposed attack on Iraq will not be a 'just' war). Sections of the Foreign Office already have a formidable reputation for deception as was revealed during the 'arms to Iraq' Scott inquiry in 1994.

However, the fact that Channel 4 has revealed that Blair's supposed intelligence dossier on Saddam Hussein was assembled by staff at Nos 10 and 12 Downing Street suggests that any blood spilled in a war with Iraq will be very much on the hands of Alastair Campbell and his Prime Ministerial master.

Meanwhile, can it really be true that the Prime Minister is unaware

• that the DTI produced a report last year which indicates that Britain could be experiencing a severe gas supply shortage by 2005?
• that one of his own energy ministers is sufficiently concerned about this near term prospect that he recently confirmed on BBC radio (Today Programme, 18 December) that new gas supplies may have to be sought from regions as far away as the Caspian Sea?
• that Iraq holds 110 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, and the second largest deposit of oil in the world?
• that the stock market experienced a record free fall in January as, amongst other factors, the supply of oil from Venezuela (the US's largest foreign source outside the Middle East), dried up and America's strategic oil reserves fell to a 27 year low (leaving just four hours slack in the system and further demonstrating US's acute energy vulnerability to global geo-political forces)?
• that oil production from the North Sea is in fast decline and is projected to run down to virtually nothing within 10 to 15 years (judging from his first western TV interview in twelve years it would appear Saddam Hussein is aware of this, even if the Prime Minister is not)?
• that a report from his own Performance and Innovation Unit has warned about the UK's own increasing dependence on, and vulnerability to, energy imports; and that the report highlights the need "to use international action to address global threats to energy security". Yes, international 'action'.

And this war is not about oil?

If, implausibly, the Prime Minister really is unaware of these factors, is there anyone else in government who might be able to offer a more knowledgeable view on the subject? It appears there are plenty. According to the Guardian 7 January “some ministers and officials in Whitehall say privately that oil is more important in the calculation than weapons of mass destruction. These ministers and officials have pointed to the instability of current oil sources—the Middle East, Caspian region and Algeria—and the need for secure alternatives.”

One commentator outside of government recently put it a little more bluntly pointing out that "The real concern for the United States is that the major oil players, based in the U.S. and Britain, don't have current access to Iraqi contracts and Iraqi oil. And the Iraqis recently have been awarding and offering those contracts to France, India, China, Indonesia, and Russia. Can't have that now, can we? It's not bad enough that there is a large supplier of oil out there who isn't friendly with the U.S. but then the buggers actually want to grant oil contracts to someone else. So long as America can control the flow of oil, they can ultimately control everyone."

Oil and Gas International 27 January leaves little room for doubt about the issue. It confirms that France and Russia have been warned they must support the US military invasion and occupation of Iraq if they want access to Iraqi oilfields in a post-Saddam Hussein Iraq.

And this war is not about oil, but about reducing international terrorism?

Can it really be true:

• that the Prime Minister is unaware that bin Laden's Fatwa against the west ("Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places") was issued precisely in response to the continuing US troop presence in Saudi Arabia, home of Islam's two most holy sites, following the last Gulf war? And that it was issued also in part due to the "More than 600,000 Iraqi children [who] have died due to lack of food and medicine and as a result of the unjustifiable aggression (sanction) imposed on Iraq and its nation."?
• that the Prime Minister is unaware that further acts of British and US aggression in the Gulf can only increase militant commitment to the Fatwa and the likelihood of terrorist attacks on innocent British and American citizens?
• that the Foreign Office is less aware than the BBC's American correspondent, Alistair Cooke, that the last Gulf war was executed not to rescue Kuwait from occupation by Saddam Hussein (as commonly believed), but as as a result of Mrs Thatcher's direct intervention and insistence to George Bush Snr "that once he held Kuwait there was nothing to stop Saddam from seizing the Saudi oil fields."? Who briefed Mrs Thatcher on that if it wasn't the Foreign Office, and who is briefing Blair now?

As Ross Perot pointed out during his 1992 US Presidential election campaign the first Gulf war was about nothing other than oil. And yet somehow the Prime Minister is trying to tell us that this new Gulf war, after more than a decade of further depletion of western oil supplies, is not?

Maintaining access to foreign oil has been a major concern to British Foreign Office mandarins for decades. Awkwardly for Mr Blair it emerges that his own Foreign Secretary reminded a meeting of over 150 diplomats in London in January that a key priority of British foreign policy is to “bolster the security of British and global energy supplies". And yet the Prime Minister is trying to tell us this has no bearing on our attitude towards Iraq, the custodian of the world's second largest oil reserves?

Is it really reasonable to assume that Mr Blair is merely a bystander in all of this given the wording of a speech he gave in Texas April 2002? At that meeting he proclaimed that “Who develops oil and gas, what the new potential sources of supply are, is a vital strategic question...[the UK and US] have the best energy companies in the world.” He told his audience that Britain and the US must forge a collective strategy to ensure that “the political and corporate world cooperate together” to safeguard their interests.

And this war is not about oil?

Whatever the Prime Minister may or may not know, one thing is clear however - the line coming from him does not correspond to the known facts about US foreign policy pre-September 11 in relation to Gulf energy reserves and Iraq (see PNAC report September 2000; and James Baker Institute report April 2001).

Whatever really lies behind this mismatch between the political reality on the other side of the Atlantic and the Prime Minister's claims, it is abundantly clear that Britain is in deep trouble when the people are lied to so blatantly by their own government. The only country which is in deeper trouble in this respect is the United States, where the culture of governmental deception is endemic on a wide spectrum of issues (as one EU Commissioner recently put it on another matter: "The deal would be this: if the Americans would stop lying about us, we would stop telling the truth about them.")

Much of this international security disaster is thanks to the stubborn refusal of our political leaders to plan a modern economy based on renewable energy, a prospect of great anathema to their friends in the oil and gas sectors.

This syndrome is so pervasive that last year the British government rejected a proposal from major motor manufacturers to start the conversion of the car industry to a hydrogen based system - fuel that can be sourced widely across the globe with the right alternative technology (already Iceland is converting all of its motor energy to hydrogen including its fishing fleet). According to the London Times 22 April 2002 government ministers decided (stupifyingly) in response to the proposal "that fossil fuels will not be phased out for at least another 50 years".

Meanwhile a study by the research unit of the former Atomic Energy Authority has shown that a quarter of England's electricity requirements could be sourced from wind turbines built off the East Anglian coast alone. The Scottish Parliament is already talking about such schemes, with the possibility of Scotland becoming a net exporter of electricity.

The choice is simple. Either we wean ourselves off oil and gas (and there are both economic and environmental benefits to be had from doing so) or there is going to be permanent war and terrorism as the imbalance between global hydrocarbon supply and demand rapidly deteriorates, especially as huge countries like China and India industrialise.

Unfortunately whilst it is well known that the Bush administration is stuffed full of former oil executives, the departure of the British Prime Minister's own closest personal aide (Anji Hunter) to join BP virtually the moment the so called 'war against terrorism' was launched also speaks volumes.

Hunter left 10 Downing St for BP as soon as the post 911 Afghan invasion coalition was set up. It was she and Alastair Campbell (get the picture?), not the Foreign Secretary, who accompanied Blair on his world tour to build the coalition. 

Following the war in Afghanistan BP are now opening up the Caspian Sea region (which will also feed the post 911 trans-Afghan pipeline to the east) from the western side. This involves the construction of a new pipeline to the Mediterranean via Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. It follows the build-up of US troops in most of the Asian Islamic 'Stan' countries and Georgia for such purposes following 911.

Needless to say Islamic militants are unlikely to be too pleased about this. When the Prime Minister says al Qaeda attacks on the UK are now inevitable, this is a key reason why.

It is now well documented that the US led attack on Afghanistan was planned well before 911 as a result of the collapse of US negotiations with the Taliban to build a new gas pipeline through the country.  This was part of a broader White House strategy to open up the Caspian Sea region with western oil companies, including BP and Enron (it was Enron who paid a 'modest' $300,000 towards the inauguration ceremony of President Bush at the beginning of 2001).

In this context Ms Hunter's story looks suspiciously like a case of 'lets clear the way for the oil companies, and then stick close to them', a development very much consistent with Blair's call in Texas for greater politico-corporate collaboration in the sector. Whatever the case Hunter's arrival at BP makes the company incomparably close to Downing Street. Hunter has been described as one of the few people that could go into the Prime Minister's office without knocking on the door first.

Across the Atlantic things are even more dubious. The week before the 911 attacks the London Times reported that "The Pentagon has secretly built a germ factory capable of producing enough deadly bacteria to kill millions of people. The project is one of a number of covert biological initiatives pursued by the United States over recent years. One proposal awaiting final approval is to manufacture a more potent version of anthrax using genetically engineered biological agents. ... "

The following January CBS News reported that Donald Rumsfeld had been forced to admit that the Department of Defense is unable to account for $2.3 trillion (yes, trillion) worth of US military transactions, thereby begging the question as to on what and on whom the missing money has been spent. CBS confirmed that the US defence establishment has not passed a government audit in a decade.

These revelations indicate that when it comes to the deployment of weapons of mass destruction the US is considerably less accountable to the international community and its own people than Saddam Hussein. This is despite the fact that the US is the only country (other than Britain and unlike Iraq) with a self-proclaimed willingness to use them in first strike attacks against other nations, and despite the self-proclaimed global expansionist ambitions of the Bush inner circle.

Indeed the 2002 Bush Administration's declaration of a new 'pre-emptive' policy of striking its enemies before they attack it, is in direct contravention of the charter of the United Nations to which the US is a treaty signatory.

Whether weapons of mass destruction exist in Iraq or not, the missiles that might propel them cannot reach beyond the eastern Mediterranean. They are no threat to the US and UK, the two countries who are driving this march to war. And for those within reach of Iraq's missiles how many are asking, in the absence of economic threats or bribery behind the scenes from the USA, for this war to proceed?

The principal exception, of course, is Sharon and his supporters in Israel - a country with its own weapons of mass destruction and which has been in breach of UN resolutions for decades.

The happy recipient of billions of dollars of military aid from US taxpayers, Sharon is a much bigger threat to international security than Saddam. According to IAP News 1 February : "Speaking during an interview which was published in Jerusalem Friday, Professor Martin Van Creveld [from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem] said Israel had the capability of hitting most European capitals with nuclear weapons.... Creveld said he was sure that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon wanted to deport the Palestinians.... Creveld argued that Israel wouldn't care much about becoming a rouge state....[He said] 'Our armed forces are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that this will happen before Israel goes under.'..." Creveld is a military historian and is the only non-American on the U.S. Army's required reading list for officers.

Meanwhile long range missiles tipped with known weapons of mass destruction rest in the hands of the two most dangerous countries on earth led by Messrs. Bush (read 'Cheney') and Blair. Unlike Iraq they have explicitly stated their intention to use these weapons, to say nothing of their involvement in international terrorism as documented by (amongst others) the Dutch government and the BBC.

The 'sanity' of this strategy was sarcastically attacked in the Observer 26 January by former Monty Python comedian Terry Jones who mocked: "...let's face it, Mr Bush's carefully thought-out policy towards Iraq is the only way to bring about international peace and security. The one certain way to stop Muslim fundamentalist suicide bombers targeting the US or the UK is to bomb a few Muslim countries that have never threatened us."

Not surprisingly in these circumstances, there are increasing indications that people around the world regard these two demented Anglo-Saxon crusaders as a greater threat to world peace than Saddam Hussein. Polls show that the majority of people in Germany think so.

Which is the greater problem? The Iraqi mosquito or the American wolf? Fortunately more and more American citizens are also beginning to express a clear understanding of what is really going on. On the BBC's flagship radio current affairs programme, 'Today' 25 January, American writer Gore Vidal compared Bush directly to Hitler and Mussolini, and condemned the USA's unilateral aspirations for global supremacy.

The recent efforts by Bush and Blair to claim a link between Iraq and al Qaeda as part of a justification for launching an attack are also interesting. Applying the same criteria across the globe would require the immediate bombing of a wide range of countries, ranging from Pakistan to Britain (both of which also have weapons of mass destruction). The Daily Telegraph reports that over 1200 Britons went to fight alongside bin Laden during the Afghan war and many of those have now returned to the UK.

In its 7 July 2002 edition TIME magazine raises an even more disturbing issue in relation to the sheltering of al Qaeda's network in Britain. The following words are 'interesting': "Described by some justice officials as the spiritual leader and possible puppet master of al-Qaeda's European networks... senior European intelligence officials tell TIME that Abu Qatada is tucked away in a safe house in the north of England, where he and his family are being lodged, fed and clothed by British intelligence services... British security services officials declined to comment.".

But it gets worse.

Following disclosures by former MI5 officer David Shayler the Observer 10 November 2002 reports that "British intelligence paid large sums of money to an al-Qaeda cell in Libya in a doomed attempt to assassinate Colonel Gadaffi in 1996 and thwarted early attempts to bring Osama bin Laden to justice.... The Libyan al-Qaeda cell included Anas al-Liby, who was given political asylum in Britain and lived in Manchester until May of 2000.....". A similar story on this British sponsorship of al-Qaeda was also run by the London Evening Standard a month earlier.

As if to leave us in no doubt on the matter the London Times 19 December points out to its readers that "European security chiefs still regard Britain as a safe haven for al-Qaeda units....". So does this give Saddam Hussein the right to bomb Britain even though he has no capacity to do so?

No. Clearly there is another reason for wanting to attack Iraq and most of the world knows what that reason is. Is it not astonishing, however, that so few politicians in the 'civilised' world are prepared to utter its name? This exposure of the supine nature of the political systems predominant in the Anglo-Saxon world (and let us not also forget the complicity of the Australian government in these matters) as the bogus nature of the war against terrorism becomes increasingly apparent, is truly shocking (see 'What War Against Terrorism' for more details).

'Ah, but what the heck?' After all, selectively chasing al Qaeda around the globe provides the perfect pretext for invading almost any country of our choice at any time, especially those countries whose oil and gas we do not yet control (when indeed are we going to hear of claims that al Qaeda cells have decamped to Iran or even Venezuela?).

As one penetrating columnist in the London Times (former Conservative MP, Mathew Paris) put it following the 'ricin' poison scare story in January: "...the Anglo-American alliance and al-Qaeda now need each other badly." He condemned the significance of the ricin incident as deliberately inflated in order to engender fear of terrorism in Britain prior to an attack on Iraq.

In a later article he poignantly adds: "I am not afraid that this war will fail. I am afraid that it will succeed. I am afraid that it will prove to be the first in an indefinite series of American interventions. I am afraid that it is the beginning of a new empire: an empire that I am afraid Britain may have little choice but to join."

An exaggeration? As Bush remarked on the day of 911 itself (after CIA Director George 'Here's-One-I-Prepared-Earlier' Tenet reported to the President that he already had a long list of target countries in which to chase al Qaeda): "Let's pick them off one at a time".

The London Times, 2 February 2002 confirms that "[In the week following the 911 attacks Tenet] spoke of covert CIA operations in 80 countries - a Worldwide Attack Matrix" and that "Mr Rumsfeld and Mr Wolfowitz had been examining military options for Iraq for months [before 911]."

Plans to seize control of the Gulf region had been set out by Bush advisors even before his election. However, their PNAC ('Project for a new American Century') report of September 2000 indicates that such plans would be difficult to implement without "some catastrophic and catalysing event - like a new Pearl Harbor".

We now know that President Roosevelt knew about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in advance, kept the information from the US fleet, and allowed the attacks to proceed. His purpose was to generate such outrage from the American people that they would give him consent to join the second world war, a venture they were previously opposed to participating in.

It took over half a century before that governmental deception became public knowledge, and most people still remain unaware of it.

According to British ITV journalist John Pilger: "As for Iraq's alleged 'weapons of mass destruction', these were dismissed [in the PNAC report], in so many words, as a convenient excuse, which it is. 'While the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification,' it says, 'the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein.'...". Founders or associates of PNAC include the following Bush advisers: Richard Perle, adviser to the Pentagon; Dick Cheney, vice-president; Donald Rumsfeld, defence secretary; Paul Wolfowitz, deputy defence secretary; Lewis Libby, Cheney's chief of staff; Jeb Bush, Governor of Florida and brother to the President; Richard Armitage, deputy secretary of state; Robert Zoellick, U.S. trade commissioner; and Zalmay Khalilzad, Bush's ambassador to Afghanistan and now at the centre of post-invasion planning for Iraq.

These are, according to Pilger, the modern chartists of American terrorism.

So much then for the proposed war against Iraq being a spontaneous response to the outrage of 911. Indeed, so much for Saddam Hussein's 'link' to al Qaeda following the BBC's exposure of the leaked British intelligence report which indicates such a link does not exist. Moreover, government sources claim the report was circulated to the Prime Minister who in turn claims he never saw it. Whoever is misleading whom, the atmosphere of deceit is increasingly palpable.

But as the anti-war movement grows stronger day by day what is happening to Britain and America may not be so bad after all.  For the moment, however, the behaviour of their leaders indicates that each continues to suffer from an acute and highly dangerous deterioration in their sanity.

In January Tony Blair told the nation that "We've got to make sure these groups of fanatics, who have no compunction in taking human life and who have no demands that any political system could possibly accede to, are defeated". 

These remarks don't refer to the challenge currently faced by the rest of the world in the form of the emerging Blair-assisted Bush empire, but they describe it well. To quote Ian Lustick, a University of Pennsylvania political science professor and Middle East expert (Philadelphia Daily News 27 January): "This is not a war on fanatics. This is a war of fanatics - our fanatics."

If the developments reported (amongst others) by David Shayler, TIME magazine and the London Times lead to where it appears, then the accusations of government involvement with al Qaeda and weapons of mass destruction (both overt and clandestine) apply much more solidly to Britain and the US than they do to Iraq.

Meanwhile one BBC radio report on the 'Today' programme (1 February, preceding the 09.00 news) quoted an American source as saying "Hans Blix is on-side. Hans Blix is our secret weapon." Whatever those curious comments may mean, there can be little doubt about how the US will wish to use the contents of the next Blix report once they are released.

In this context the urgent need for the effective treatment and rehabilitation of the two delinquent church-going leaders of the Anglo-Saxon world is clear. If you still require convincing of this alarming reality then take a read of John Le Care's article in the London Times entitled 'The United States of America Has Gone Mad' (follow link below).

Then forward it, or this bulletin, to your friends. Only don't leave it too long, because all diplomatic missions are preparing to leave Baghdad by 15 February, the day after the release of the next Blix report.

"A senior Indian official yesterday told Gulf News that all diplomatic missions in Baghdad, including the Indian mission, have decided they would leave Iraq by February 15.... Meanwhile, Reuters reported that Russia's armed forces have obtained information that the United States and its allies have already decided to launch military action in Iraq from mid-February.... 'According to the information we have, the operation is planned for the second half of February. The decision to launch it has been taken but not yet been made public,' the source told the [Russian news] agency. ... The source added that the main aim of the operation was not so much to topple Iraqi President Saddam but to secure U.S. control over Iraqi oilfields."
Diplomats to Evacuate Iraq by February 15
Gulf News, 23 January 2003

"An undercurrent of profound unease over a war against Iraq is sweeping through Britain's military establishment, with senior commanders worried about confused objectives and the ethics of launching a pre-emptive strike... These underlying concerns were reflected last week by General Sir Jack Deverell, commander-in-chief of allied forces, Northern Europe, who told the BBC he would not like to go to war without the support of the country.

"In times of grief we look for some greater good. The importance of the Columbia shuttle tragedy is that we lost seven lives, not that we lost millions of dollars in equipment.

Tragedy is supposed to bring families together. I hope this tragedy brings the international family together to solve the problems in Iraq peacefully."

" ....The Cheney Bush Junta have taken charge of the United States. These are a series of oil and gas people, mostly from Texas, who in the year 2000 through as series of often highly illegal acts saw to it that the loser of the Presidential election... became President.... This was a constitutional collapse on the part of the United States.... they got away with it. So now we have a bunch of oil and gas people ... governing [the US] .... Iraq... has done us no harm anymore than Afghanistan....There is no crisis but that which has been created by this administration. Further more they have done such a marvelous job propagandising in every country.... that Saddam Hussein had something to do with the ghastly events of Septermber 11. Iraq had nothing to with them..[50% of American's think one or more of the 911 hijackers was from Iraq. None were, nlpwessex].. The United States did something I thought I would never live long enough to see. I served as an enlisted man in the second world war and I never thought to see my country as an international villain on the scale of Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo... This is an unilateral strike at global supremacy in the interests of gas and oil."

"I am in a position to know because, as the Central Intelligence Agency's senior political analyst on Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war, and as a professor at the Army War College from 1988 to 2000, I was privy to much of the classified material that flowed through Washington.... the United States Defense Intelligence Agency investigated and produced a classified report, which it circulated within the intelligence community on a need-to-know basis. That study asserted that it was Iranian gas that killed the Kurds, not Iraqi gas."

"As President Bush was putting the finishing touches on his State of the Union address, the Pentagon top brass were talking about 'A-Day,' short for 'Air Strikes Day.' On A-Day the air force and navy will launch 300 to 400 cruise missiles at targets in Iraq, CBS reported Saturday. That's more missiles than were launched during the entire 40-day Persian Gulf war of 1991. Then, on A-Day plus one, they'll bombard Iraq with 400 more missiles. 'There will not be a safe place in Baghdad,' one Pentagon official told CBS. There are 4 million civilians in Baghdad, of whom 2 million are children."

"Speaking to the world press during his weekly global news conference last Wednesday, Maharishi also cautioned journalists against hiding behind the façade of objectivity when promoting news of their government's policies of war and destruction: 'If you are promoting destruction, you are promoting sin.' Instead, Maharishi urged them to bring his message of peace to the leaders of their countries. 'You cannot simply say that 'the fire is there.' You have to get some water to put the fire out,' Maharishi said. 'Be brave in promoting the knowledge to create a peaceful, coherent world.'... Maharishi's global news conference was broadcast live via satellite,
Internet webcast, and teleconference call to media on all continents."
