1. The Forgotten War: Anglo-American Bombing of Iraq Is Every Bit As
Illegal As NATO's Attack on Yugoslavia
PHOENIX, Aug. 14 - While the world's attention was focused on NATO's
bombing of Serbia, another illegal Anglo-American aggression has been going
on in the Middle East - the forgotten air war against Iraq. Over the past
eight months, American and British pilots have fired more than 1,100
missiles against 359 targets in Iraq.
And what was the western public's reaction to this outrage? "What
war?" The American masses, numbed down by TV and movie violence, and
dumbed down by Washington's and London's "lie and deny" propaganda, simply
shrugged, even though the Anglo-American aggression against Iraq is every
bit as illegal, and thus repugnant, as was the U.S. and British-led NATO
attack on Yugoslavia.
The preceding air strike totals are more than triple the targets attacked
in four furious days of strikes last December, an assault that provoked an
international outrage, according to the New York Times (also see "Klinton's
Amerika: Israel's Tomahawk," the TiM GW Bulletin 98/12-7, filed on Dec. 21,
1998 from Western Australia). And they mean that the U.S. and British
pilots have flown about two-thirds as many missions over Iraq as the NATO
pilots flew over Yugoslavia in 79 days of the around-the-clock war in the
Balkans.
But since the Iraq air strikes were spread out over a protracted period of
time (eight months), the NWO establishment and its lapdog media have
succeeded in making even war, death and destruction appear banal - by
relegating it to the inside pages of newspapers, if at all.
Here's, for example, an excerpt from a news story filed by the Associated
Press from Ankara on Aug. 13:
"U.S. warplanes bombed Iraqi defense sites in the northern no-fly zone near
Mosul, about 250 miles north of Baghdad, said a statement from the U.S.
European Command in Germany.
The bombing was (allegedly) triggered by Iraqis, who fired surface-to-air
missiles and anti-aircraft artillery at U.S. warplanes, the U.S. military
sources said on Aug. 13. Iraqi forces have repeatedly challenged allied
planes in the zone since Dec. 28. Baghdad says the zones violate its
sovereignty and international law."
The AP story, of course, was merely a regurgitation of a press release
issued by the U.S. military. Which is why inserted above the word
"allegedly" in brackets. "The Pentagon says the air strikes are merely
defensive responses to the provocations, meant to protect the pilots," the
New York Times said on Aug. 13). "But the targets American and British
pilots strike are often not the ones that directly threaten them,
especially since Iraq has placed many of its weapons in places the Pentagon
says is meant to put Iraqi civilians at risk."
---
TiM Ed.: Notice the Times' qualification: "The Pentagon says" this; the
"the Pentagon says" that… another tell-tale sign of a lapdog media, even
when trying to bring out some morsels of truth.
Besides, the Times may we have forgotten how "credible" the Pentagon and
NATO sources are. They also said, for example, that they had destroyed
about 40% (i.e., 120) of the 300 Yugoslav Army's main battle tanks in
Kosovo. After the war, however, a British Ministry of Defense inquiry
discovered that the actual number was closer to seven! (see S99-114,
"Peace" 8, Items 1 and 2, June 24, and S99-130, "Peace" 24, Item 2, July 29).
---
Meanwhile, back in Iraq, on Tuesday (Aug. 10) alone, the American A-10s and
F-16s based in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia, and the F-14s and F-18s aboard the
aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, attacked three anti-aircraft artillery
batteries and two radar sites in southern Iraq, while F-16s and F-15s based
in Turkey went after two communication centers in the north. Those attacks
followed heavy strikes on Monday. And preceded Friday's strikes on Mosul.
One reason we said the latest Anglo-American aggression against Iraq was
both illegal and repugnant is that these two countries took the "law" (of
the jungle) into their own hands, without even bothering to wear the fig
leaf of the United Nations-sanctioned attack (as in the Gulf War). The
United States and its allies unilaterally created the "no-fly" zones -
north of the 36th parallel and south of the 33rd (see the map at our Web
site) - in the years after the Gulf War. Iraq has never recognized the
zones, but rarely challenged allied patrols of them.
"After the December (Anglo-American) raids, however, Iraq declared the
zones a violation of Iraq's sovereignty, and its troops have made good on
threats to challenge them," the Times said. "Iraqi MiG jets dart in and out
of the zones. Missile radars have tracked allied patrols and gunners have
fired anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles at them."
But Saddam Hussein's toying with our armchair warriors, like the two
Willies - Clinton and Cohen, and our Secretary of Hate, Madam Halfbright -
does have its purpose. Not only is it defending the Iraqi sovereignty, but
it is also helping these Washington leaches milk the American taxpayers.
The fight over the "no-fly" zones, and the Anglo-American bombings of Iraq,
are costing the U.S. taxpayers upwards of $1 billion a year. More than 200
aircraft, 19 warships and 22,000 American troops are devoted to the effort,
according to the Times.
In other words, Saddam Milosevic is almost as good for the American and
British "death merchants" and other multinational leaches' business as is
Slobodan Hussein. Or is it the other way around?
Either way, these two bogeymen are an indispensable part of the NWO global
power play. Without such bogeymen, you could not justify international
gangland-style aggressions (such as those carried out against Iraq, Bosnian
Serb Republic and Serbia). Without the international gangland-style
aggressions, you could not have wars. Without the wars, the "death
merchants'" commerce would stink.
Remember "perpetual commerce through perpetual war"-principle? That's why
both Saddam Milosevic and Slobodan Hussein are still in charge of Serbia
and Iraq. Or is it the other way around? They are kept in power by the
very NWO world class criminals who are bombing and killing the Serb and
Iraqi people. For the sake of "perpetual commerce" and the Anglo-American
geopolitical hegemony.

2. Sanctions Kill, Too! A Quiet Genocide Being Carried Out against the
Iraqi People
NEW YORK, Aug. 13 - We have been saying for years that the sanctions, such
as those applied against Iraq or Serbia, for example, are even more deadly
than wars. And more cowardly than even the modern-day NWO air wars.
To be sure, both air wars and the sanctions kill innocent people. But the
sanctions are more indiscriminate. Not only do they kill many more people
than the bombs, but the terrible effects of the sanctions are felt through
generations of people in the unfortunate target country (see the TiM GW
Bulletins filed from Bosnia and Serbia in September-October 1993, for
example). Kind of like the effect of nuclear weapons.
If the "civilized world" were really civilized today, it would have
outlawed the use of sanctions BEFORE it did that for chemical warfare. Or
is now feebly trying to do that for the use of landmines, with the U.S.
government being the cog in the wheel all the way (which kind of puts in
perspective how "civilized" our government really is).
We've written a number of times about how the western "reforms" in Russia,
for example, are nothing more than the undeclared western sanctions against
the innocent Russian people, including the unborn infants (Russia's
mortality rate now ranks right along with that of the third-world African
countries - see "Killing Russia Softly," and "Kremlin and Wall Street: Two
Rival Gangs, TiM GW Bulletin 97/12-4b, Dec. 13, 1997, at our Web site).
But the main reason for our renewed interest in the genocidal effect of the
sanctions was brought about by the first-ever major survey of child
mortality rates in Iraq since the Persian Gulf War in 1991, carried out by
the U.N. The survey has found the children under five years of age are
dying at twice the rate they had been before the conflict, UNICEF said on
Aug. 12.
---
TiM Ed.: Some NWO media "delousing" is called for here… Here is how the New
York Times, for example, one of the NWO lapdog media outfits, described the
very same U.N. survey in its Aug. 13 edition:
"The first major survey of child mortality in Iraq since the Persian Gulf
War in 1991 has found that in areas of the country controlled by President
Saddam Hussein, children under 5 years of age are dying at twice the rate
they were before the conflict, UNICEF reported Thursday."
In other words, blame the problem on the good old NWO bogeyman, Saddam
Milosevic, not the bad ugly NWO genocidal criminals, like Clinton, Cohen,
Berger or Albright. By the way, the preceding was the Times story's LEAD!
---
And now, read and weep over are some of the sad facts about the devastating
effect of the Anglo-American sanctions on the Iraqi people:
"According to UNICEF, deaths of children under 5 in the south and central
parts of Iraq, where 85 percent of the people live, more than doubled, from
56 deaths for each 1,000 live births in 1984-1989, to 131 deaths in
1994-1999. That matches the under-5 mortality rates of Pakistan, Haiti or
Uganda."
---
TiM Ed.: Just in case all these strange names in distant places are not
burning fiery holes in your white memory spaces, let us point out that the
Iraqi infant mortality of 131 in the 1994-1999 period compares to Hong
Kong's of 5.24 per 1,000 live births, for example.
And that's not genocide?
