U.S. Ready to Strike Iraq, Report Says
UPI
Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2000
WASHINGTON � The United States is prepared to respond with a military strike if
Iraq attacks the minority Kurdish population in northern Iraq this fall, CNN
reported Tuesday.
The report quoted Pentagon sources as saying the U.S. military is ready for at
least three days of intense strikes against Iraq in such a scenario.
The Pentagon has alerted a U.S. Army Patriot missile battery that was recently
placed on a "heightened state of readiness" for possible deployment to Israel,
out of concern Iraq might fire Scud missiles at Israel in response to any U.S.
military action, CNN said.
The network said contingency plans call for several days of attacks, but such
strikes would not be as intense as the ones U.S.-led warplanes carried out in
December 1998 in response to a dispute between Iraq and United Nations arms
inspectors. In that military mission, U.S. and British forces struck 100 Iraqi
targets in four days.
But CNN said U.S. officials monitoring Iraqi troop movements had not detected
any unusual activity recently. The Washington Post on Friday quoted an unnamed
Pentagon official as saying that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had acted
erratically during previous U.S. election cycles and might do so again.
Hussein has traditionally sent his military on exercises in the fall when the
weather cools in Iraq.

>>>This is the height of double-dealing off of the bottom of a deck of marked
cards. Turkey can go into Turkey, Iraq, and Syria with impunity to "tame" the
Kurds while Iraq is prevented from exercising control over its own territory.
Iraq has done NOTHING differently than other "allies" have done (except PO GHW
Bush). A<>E<>R

The libertarian therefore considers one of his prime educational
tasks is to spread the demystification and desanctification of the
State among its hapless subjects. His task is to demonstrate
repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the
"democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist
by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse
of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of
taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between
the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that
the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State
has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to
accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a
share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded
subjects.
