NO WEAPONS of mass destruction FOUND - of course NOT!
Jews Scapegoated for the war? Of course they are!
What does Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein have in common? Not much
except they both have a virulent hatred for Israel and the Jews.

No weapons of mass destruction have been found but the consensus appears
to be now that because there were atrocities it makes our invasion and
overthrow of Saddam Hussein all right. Nevermind that there are dozens of
other governments who perpetrate atrocities and we do nothing and in many
instances we support them.

Jews are being scapegoated. Perle and Wolfowitz and others do not
represent the Jews. BUT many think a Jewish conspiracy does exist to
remake the world in a new image which is favorable to Israel and the U.S.
That has always been a desired effect of foreign policies of both Israel
and the U.S. - and politics does often make uncomfortable but convenient
bedfellows. HOWEVER, many Jews ALSO very much oppose George W Bush and his
aggressive and immoral foreign policies even as many on the left also
oppose Israel's right to survive and are very anti-Jewish and even though
Saddam Hussein was very anti-Semitic. We're not supporting Saddam Hussein,
but we are against indiscriminate killing and fake wars. We are against
terrorism of groups, religion and state terrorism. We're against the use
of depleted uranium bullets and armor plating because it is an
indiscriminate procursor of harm there is probable cause that it leads to
cancer and death. We're opposed to the use of all weapons of mass
destruction, which includes cluster munitions, cluster bombs, daisy cutter
bombs, napalm and carpet bombing. We're against war except where there is
a proven and clear imminent threat.

Intentional Provocations
with U.S. knowledge and approval
and how the U.S. manufactured the war with Iraq. Nothing happens in a
vacumn. There are a lot of conspiracies in Washington which are real and
this was one of them.

Saddam Hussein believed he was doing the U.S., which supported his
wars, and the rest of the Arab world a favor by preventing the spread of
the Iranian religious extremism. He believed this was a defensive action
to prevent Iran from overrunning the entire Middle East and he believed
many of his debts would (should) be forgiven. He believed that rebuilding
Iraq would be supported financially by his neighbors.

"Instead the opposite occured. U.S. client regimes such as Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates began hiking their production of oil,
thus prolonging the collapse in oil prices that began in 1986. This had
the devastating impact on war-torn Iraq. Oil constitutied half Iraq's GDP
and the bulk of government revenues, so a collapse in oil prices was
catastrophic for Iraqi economy. It would also curb Iraq's rearming."
[Research Unit for Political Economy, "Behind the Invasion of Iraq" -
Monthly Review Press - 2003]

"A further, remarkable development was Kuwait's theft of oil from Rumaila
field by SLANT-DRILLING (drilling at an angle, instead of straight down)
near the border. (-THE RAMAILA FIELD LIES ALMOST ENTIRELY INSIDE IRAQ-)
Given that Kuwait is itself oil-rich, the theft of Iraq's oil appears a
deliberate provocation. It is worth keeping in mind that Iraq already had
not only specific border disputes with Kuwait but had from time to time
advanced a claim to the whole of Kuwait. In this light it is difficult to
imagine that small, lightly armed Kuwait would have caried on such
provocative acts as slant-drilling the territory of well-armed Iraq
without the go-ahead of the United States." [ibid]
