They certainly kill a lot of people don't they.

It is seventeen years since America and Britain embarked on their 'Final Solution' for the population of Iraq.

The forty two day carpet bombing, enjoined by thirty two other countries, against a country of just twenty five million souls, with a youthful, conscript army, with broadly half the population under sixteen, and no air force, was just the beginning of a United Nations led, global siege of near mediaeval ferocity. Having, as James Baker boasted they would, reduced 'Iraq to a pre-industrial age', the country was denied all normality : trade, aid, telecommunications, power, sanitation, water repairs, seeds, foods, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment.

Snip

The blitzkrieg on Iraq deliberately targeted all 'indispensable to survival'.
Within twenty four hours, most was destroyed. The electricity went off within two hours, leaving patients on life support machines and vital equipment, babies in incubators, or those on oxygen to die. Refrigerators defrosted, all medicine needing refrigeration, blood banks and vital saline solutions for the injured were destroyed. Food rotted and between the bombing and the bank closures (latter for fear of looting) replacements were scarce to unbuyable.

In Najav, seventy dialysis patients, 'old friends', said the senior nurse in charge of the unit, died for want of electricity. The water supply was deliberately destroyed, parts denied subsequently by the pathetic, US-UK dominated Sanctions Committee - a Committee without a backbone between them - and remains lethal to this day.

This was the plan by US Central Command, it seems, all along. The destruction of Iraq's water system has been described by Professor Nagy and Stephanie Miller as: 'a slow motion holocaust'. Few could have put it better.

They can damn well take credit for it. No blaming their supporters either, unless we're talking about
Congress. We were lied into that war and it's just better lies, more controlled press this time.

THEY need to stand down, everyone who thought this current Iraq atrocity p and everyone who voted
funds to continue it. EVERY single one of them, THEY knew.

payback.

pay for it - if not now, then certainly in the Hereafter is bullshit. I want payback NOW. HERE. In THIS lifetime. On THIS earth. Where EVERYONE can see it and learn. After he's dead does the lesson no good at all.

is it any wonder why all of the archives seem to have eliminated her piece, on exposing the atrocities of the UK and the USA, in regards to Iraq.

I've tried every which way, multiple combinations of "Maggie O'Kane, 'Bloodless Words, Bloody War', The Guardian, 16 December 1995", to find that article on these Internets...but in the interest of burying, rewriting, and twisting history, it is not to be found. Someone who actually has the hard copy needs to transcribe it and provide such stark details of this modern holocaust as a reference article, if we actually wish for the perpetrators ever to be held accountable. Please, if anyone can find it, provide a link.

Surely, nobody has any desire to wait for that figure to reach the ghostly number of "six million", before we acknowledge what has been done in our name! I watch as so many anticipate the fated number of "4000" to be reached, in regards to the sacrifice our own country has made in the current bombardment and occupation of Iraq, as tho that will make it something truly horrific, when, in fact, that same number of Iraqis most likely perished within the very first hours back in 1991, of our other illegal action, Desert Storm.

Thank you, autorank, for posting Ms. Arbuthnot's pertinent reminder!

Thanks for that comment.

You know Ms. Arbuthnot has a great name, that of John Arbuthnot who wrote "The Art of Political Lying"
another hard one to find;)

I think this is the same piece under a different title - the Bloodless Words, Bloody War seems to have meticulously scrubbed - barely left a trace.

There is no excuse to treat other human beings this way.

We should all be ashamed and outraged.

....and yet we will have no choice but to vote for candidates who deon't want to stop the war, all so the rich can get richer.

:cry:

Going to war for them is strictly academic. We have interests that we must secure. End of story.

No one ever remembers that we bomb their country and people die. They retaliate and kill our soldiers. The only people who win are oil men.

Monkeyboy stated in an earlier press conference, Money Trumps Peace.

It's "the Hun is coming" - bayoneting babies. They never get original, they don't need to.

They've been planning and working towards this for decades.

It seems those like Rockefeller (Bill Gates) and others would like to essentially get rid of those who are not white, wealthy and healthy.

What is it Henry Kissinger called everyone who is not warmongering elitist?

"Useless eaters"?

who armed Saddam in the first place. They also played up the B.S. about Saddam bluffing and thereby fooling the Bush administration in to believing he had WMDs with no mention of all the evidence to the contrary.

Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, autorank.

s who have served there. They don't mention anything related to the truth because, as Jack Nicholson would say to them, "You can't stand the truth!" and THEY CAN'T. They'd have to reconcile 600,000 dead in Darful compared to 1,200,000 in Iraq and tell us what that meant.
