Weapons of mass destruction fooey, the only weapons of mass destruction, apparent here, is all the lies being sprayed around. First question is why did Kelly kill himself? Shame is my guess, because he knew the whole issue of WMD's was a smoke screen to cover up the real reasons for the invasion of Iraq.
Like they could not do it when it was the right time to do it back in '91, because that would have demonstrated the principle of international law and the soverenty of the UN. Isreal and the multinationals do not like international law. They would rather the planet be run by Hollywood and the multinationals.
So what were the real reasons for the Iraq invasion? Two main reasons 9/11 and that the dollar is the fiat currency. Before the Bretton Woods agreement. All currencies were tied to the value of gold, after Bretton Woods all currencies became tied to the value of the dollar, this worked ok, whilst the American economy was ok. The American economy is no longer ok, America is running a massive trade deficit with the rest of the world, America is a net importer of oil, America can get away with this because oil is priced in dollars. In 2000 Saddam asked for his oil money to be paid in Euros, this scared America, because of the domino effect. Different countries pay for their raw materials in dollars, this means countries have to hold a large quantity of dollars for international trade, this effect keeps the value of the dollar artificialy high and funds the American way of life, just compare the price of fuel in ECC countries with the price of fuel in America and you will see what I mean.
Back in 91 General Swarzkopf wanted to finish the job ie march all the way to Bahgdad, haul Saddam out by the scruff of the neck and try him as a war criminal. But Colin Powell told him not to, this should be the correct question, why did they wait for twelve years before finishing the job. If they had done this in 91 it would have sent a marvelous signal to every other tin pot dictator on the planet. It might have meant Milosovich would have thought twice. We need international law and we need it badly. We should be ruled by principle, not people.
Funny how all the cruise missiles are manufactured in Texas, also funny how General Franks and George Bush jnr went to school together.
