Up to date more than 2 000
000 Iraqis have been killed as a result of the
Zionist-orchestrated "Gulf War" since 1991. This is because the
Jewish ideology, i.e. the Old Testament, the Torah, demands a
terrible revenge - the total annihilation - of those
who dare to oppose the plans of the Jews. After 12 years of killing
sanctions the Zionists, using shabbos goyim of the U.S. and
British armies, moved in for the death blow against Iraq as an
independent Arab state. This second aggression on Iraq waged in 2003
is a Zionist war of domination and
occupation, of
extending Israel's lebensraum, of the fulfillment of the
Jewish prophecy in the Torah of a Jewish state - "Eretz Israel" -
stretching between the rivers Nile and Eufrat.

"Have I given information to Israel

Iraq was the strongest and perhaps most
educated/advanced Arab nation before the Gulf War, with a big potential since it
holds the second largest oil reserve in the world. This might have forced Israel
to sign a peace treaty with the Arabs and Palestinians from a weaker position
(i.e. compromise more), than if Iraq was out of the picture.

By David Makovsky (Ha'aretz 09/28/1998). "He [Ritter] said it demonstrated that Israel was taking seriously a UN Security Resolution passed after the Gulf War calling on all member countries to work closely with UNSCOM to disarm Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction." Who says Israel does not abide by U.N. resolutions?
"The
U.S. has perverted the U.N. weapons process by using it as a
tool to justify military actions, falsely so. ... The U.S.
was using the inspection process as a trigger for

Genocide through sanctions and bombings |
"More
than one million Iraqis have died- 567,000 of them children
-as a direct consequence of economic sanctions... As many as
12% of the children surveyed in Baghdad are wasted, 28%
stunted and 29% underweight."
-- UN FAO, December 1995. "Surely the extermination of
Jews in gas chambers is not comparable to the slow death
inflicted in Iraqi children by deprivation. But from another
angle the latter is even more despicable. The genocide
against Jews was perpetrated in the greatest secret and
without the blessing of the "civilized world". The crimes
against Iraqi civilians are committed in full day-light,
with the blessing of the ruling "civilized nations" and with
the tacit support of the educated classes in these nations.
Those who keep silent and are legally able to speak up, are
morally accomplices to this
crime." |
"U.S. war planners considered Iraqi electrical plants to be high priority targets.... Destruction of electricity, nonetheless, proved devastating for the civilian population... the civilian life-support systems of air conditioning, refrigeration, and water purification were destroyed. Collateral damage had a new definition. ... Almost a third of all cruise missiles fired were aimed at electrical power." -- From The Washington Post in a page titled: Bomb Now, Die Later |

Bombing The Myth of Surgical Bombing
in the Gulf War By Paul Walker (1992)
"More than 4,500 children
under the age of 5 are dying each month from hunger and
disease." -- UNICEF, October 1996. |
Leslie Stahl: "We
have heard that a half million children have died (as a
result of sanctions against Iraq). I mean, that is more
children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price
worth it?" Madeleine Albright: "I think this is a
very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth
it." |
In July 1989 (before the sanctions), 387 children under the age of five died in Iraq.
In July 1998 (after the sanctions), 6,495 children under the age of five died, a 16-fold increase from before the sanctions.

were aware that the "slow decline" of water purification and
sewage treatment systems would mean that "incidences of disease,
including possible epidemics, will become probable." They
accurately predicted increases in cholera, hepatitis and typhoid.

The Gulf War 1991 |
"They know we own their
country. We own their airspace... We dictate the way they
live and talk. And that's what's great about America right
now. It's a good thing, especially when there is a lot of
oil out there we need." |
"In truth, even had
congress not passed the resolution [to use force against
Iraq], I would have acted and ordered our troops into
combat."
|
The reason for American intervention, we
were told, was first, to liberate Kuwait. Then it was to prevent Saddam from
invading Saudi Arabia, then it was to save the world from another Hitler.
Finally, it was to save the Gulf's oil resources. Bush here reveals his true
desire during the Gulf War, and that is to destroy Iraq, period. No wonder he
bi-passed congress on many occasions, lied to the American public, ordered the
massacre of withdrawing Iraqi soldiers, twisted many arms around the world,
bribed many world leaders, and completely blocked the diplomatic track, which
would have, saved hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives. It seems that Saddam's
invasion of Kuwait has provided Bush with the perfect pretext to destroy Iraq,
then a distant-second military power to Israel. This will leave Israel as the
soul regional superpower, which has, in comparison, committed an
order-of-magnitude worse version of Iraq's sins: invade another country,
manufacture weapons of mass destruction and violate more security council
resolutions than any nation on earth.

soldier bleeding from every orifice."

Itemization
and Details of the Destruction from
the Washington Post (i.e., most likely a Pentagon-supplied
information). But even so and regardless of how much sugar coating
is added, the result as shown in this link, is still the
destruction of the Iraqi society's infrastructure: bridges, power
stations, water refineries, telephone exchanges, ...
"What threat could these pathetic remnants of Saddam Hussein's beaten army have posed? Wasn't it obvious that the people of the convoy would have given themselves up willingly without the application of such ferocious weaponry?"
-- A BBC announcer commenting on the massacre of the withdrawing Iraqi soldiers. (Stephen Sackur, On the Basra Road, London Review of Books, 1991), pp. 25-6, cited in Theodore Draper, The True History of the Gulf War, The New York Review of Books, 30 January 1992, p. 41., p. 42.)
While many may argue that there was no justification for the Iraqi aggression against Kuwait (despite the many Kuwaiti provocations, such as border slant drilling into an Iraqi-shared oil pool, OPEC oil production agreements violation by Kuwait, Kuwait's demands of immediate loan repayment by Iraq which the latter owed the former following the Iran-Iraq war), the U.S. response to Iraq, by bombing it back to a pre-industrial age with the immense loss of life and the murderous sanctions that continued, amounting to a war crime, is way less justified in its barbaric and atrocious magnitude.
Many Iraqi soldiers and civilians (of 1-200,000 total) were killed by being buried alive or by incineration while fleeing. Many of the soldiers who were killed were not even in combat. During the Gulf War, the U.S. and allies dropped 88,000 tons of bombs (cluster, fragmentation bombs, napalm, fuel air explosives,.. all outlawed), in addition to other missiles and rockets, during 110,000 air raids. 93 percent of the bombs were free falling, while 7 percent were guided (surgical bombing), of which 30 percent missed their targets. Among the destruction were facilities essential to civilian life such as power plants, telephone exchanges, sewage and water treatment plants, whose only aim could be to destruction a nation and the will of its people.
Depleted Uranium (DU) |
Some of the shells used by the U.S. and Britain were made out of Depleted Uranium, a byproduct waste of nuclear fusion. This radioactive metal is very heavy compared to iron and lead, and using it has double advantage: First, it is much more efficient at armor piercing, second, firing it in an "enemy" territory will serve as a dumping technique, transforming the enemy land to a nuclear-waste dump. Due to DU, Iraqi children today suffer a four-fold increase in cancer (Lukemia and Lymphoma) rate. Also, some scientists and doctors believe that DU is the possible cause of the Gulf War Syndrome.

ON "SUPPORTING OUR

"... what does it mean if somebody asks you, Do you
support the people in Iowa? Can you say, Yes, I support
them, or No, I don't support them? It's not even a
question. It doesn't mean anything. That's the point. The
point of public relations slogans like "Support our
troops" is that they don't mean anything. They mean as
much as whether you support the people in Iowa. Of
course, there was an issue. The issue was, Do you support
our policy? But you don't want people to think about that
issue. That's the whole point of good propaganda."

14th of July
Bridge, One of Many (e.g. Nasyriah, Jumhuriah, al- Ahrar) Destroyed by the U.S. |
Most of the reporting that reached
American audience and the west in general emanated from the
Pentagon, hence severely lacking balance, as proven by the total
blackout on the magnitude of the devastation and death on the
Iraqi side. A quick statement of the number of dead (centered
around 100,000 thousands soldiers and 15,000 civilians) sufficed
for main-stream media audience. It is no wonder that this
made-for-TV war started at 6:30pm EST on January 16, 1991,
coinciding with National News. Alas, much of American audience
today cannot distinguish between computer war games and real war,
between news and entertainment.
The devastation of the Gulf War on the Iraqis took place while the American public, deprived from relevant facts and historical context and background, is reduced to the meaningless slogan-chanting: "We support our troops", as if it is the issue. The gullibility of the average American can be seen in the ease it required Sec. of Defense William Cohen in Feb 1998 to convince the public of the necessity to attack the already-crippled Iraq during the Feb 1998 campaign to bomb Iraq. All he had to do was travel around the nation carrying a five-pound sugar bag, the only gear needed for his theatrical performance of telling his audience of the horrible death this bag of sugar could cause had it been filled with Anthrax.
During each confrontation with Iraq our media never fails to show us the worried Israeli parent putting a mask on his daughter as though it is the Israelis, more so than Iraqis, are the ones to worry about their lives. Of course each time the Israeli government beam out to the world pictures of Israeli children trying their gas masks, American and German cash starts flowing into Israel.

Quick History |
Being the colonizer of most of the region after the collapse of the Ottoman
Empire in the early part of this century, Britain unilaterally decided to cut a
chunk off of Iraq and make it a separate entity: Kuwait, suiting the needs of
the then British Empire. This was part of a plan to make Kuwait (and other
resourceful countries) a "client regime" for Britain/the West, with puppet
leaders dependent on their master's military power for protection. This ensured
that the country's resources will go to the masters' pocket, while making the
Kuwaiti monarchy rich beyond dreams, all while trumpeting the west's sincere
struggle to spread democracy, of course.

During the war the U.S. gave Iraq a clear warning against using chemical/biological. Such a clear warning, aside from Bush's TV rhetoric, was not relayed before Jan 15, 1991 when telling Saddam that the U.S. WILL attack Iraq if it didn't withdraw from Kuwait. This indicates the desire Bush had to destroy Iraq as the only regional military power, after Israel, hence further strengthening the latter's hegemony over the region. The violation of U.N. resolutions by Iraq was used by the U.S. as a justification for destroying Iraq. The U.S.'s selective enforcement of UN resolutions around the world, as in the case of shielding Israel who has violated way more resolutions than any nation, including Iraq, clearly shows the U.S.'s double standard and the use of the U.N. only when its resolutions happen to line up with U.S. interests.

are located] and when he took the whole thing, we went nuts." -- Ross Perot (This

"It is becoming
increasingly clear, that George Bush, operating largely
behind the scenes throughout the 1980s, initiated and
supported much of the financing, intelligence, and military
help that built Saddam's Iraq into the aggressive power that
the United States ultimately had to destroy."
-- Ted Koppel, NightLine, ABC News 06/09/1992
Before the war the U.S. was a "friend" of Iraq, giving it intelligence on Iran, "agricultural" credit (which Saddam would convert for other uses), shielding it from criticism at the U.N., reducing its "rogue" status (to allow US defense companies to sell it weapons), even gave it biological weapons (form a Maryland company). In 1984 when the U.N. confirmed Iraq was using mustard and nerve gasses against Iranian "human wave" attacks in border war, the U.S. State Department issued only a mild condemnation, and went on to restore diplomatic relations with Iraq, in addition to opposing U.N. action against Iraq. In 1988 Iraq used chemical weapons again, against Kurdish minority in Halabjah, but the U.S. continued to maintain "agricultural" credits with Iraq, and President Reagan even blocked congressional sanctions against Iraq.

weapons infrastructure had been completely dismantled or
destroyed by UNSCOM (the UN inspections body) or by Iraq in
compliance with our mandate. The biological weapons
programme was gone, all the major facilities eliminated. The
nuclear weapons programme was completely eliminated. The
long range ballistic missile programme was completely
eliminated. If I had to quantify Iraq's threat, I would say
[it is] zero." |

"This week, we also

destroyed at least thirteen schools, an important food
storehouse, and the municipal water system of Baghdad's
Karrada suburb, leaving 300,000 people without clean
drinking water. During the 1991 Gulf War, US bombing wrecked
Baghdad's water and sewage systems, creating a grave health
crisis for millions of Iraqi civilians."
