War of Lies.

With the passage of time since America’s military attack on Iraq in 2003 more lies of the White House are being exposed. In the latest exposure, it has been found that the US had faked a letter from former Iraqi intelligence minister, Tahir Jalil Habbush addressed to Saddam Hussein. In the letter it was mentioned that the former Baathist regime had links with Muhammed Atta, one of the hijackers in the 9/11 incident.
Later, to justify the need to take on Saddam’s Iraq, the Bush White House published the fake letter in the media. However, with the publication of the book ’In the Way of the World’ by Ron Suskind it has been proved that the letter was fake.

The book also mentions that in a meeting with a high-ranking British spy, Habbush had said that Iraq under the former despot did not have any weapons of mass destruction. But this piece of important information was never released by the Bush regime and its neocon war planners.
Of course this is not the first time that Washington’s lies and demagoguery regarding the Iraq war have been exposed. It was previously reported that although George Bush knew that claims about Saddam trying to buy uranium from Nigeria were untrue, he raised the issue by design in his State of Union address in January 2003 to prepare US public opinion for military conflict with Iraq.

In the months between Sept. 2001 and March 2003, senior American officials time and again accused Iraq of trying to acquire WMDs and/or having links with the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. In one calculated spin former US secretary of state, Colin Powell, in a session of the UN Security Council on Feb. 5, 2003 presented documents showing that Iraq possessed mobile chemical laboratories.

Under a climate influenced by psychological war tactics, the project for invading Iraq was launched on March 20, 2003. Ever since, the non winning able war has become a terrible nightmare for the American people after the disastrous Vietnam War that killed close to three million innocent Vietnamese. Bush’s war on Iraq has so far killed one million people, mostly women and children.

This is while all the claims made by the White House and its minions to justify the senseless bloodletting have actually been rooted in politics, greed, oil and disinformation.

The truth is that in 2003 neither Iraq had access to WMDs nor did it have any relation with Al-Qaeda. But, none of these facts were of importance to America’s unpopular war president and his infamous deputy. Bush enclave at that time only wanted to occupy Iraq and spared no effort to lie and fabricated documents to achieve their evil goals. It would be fair to bill the war on Iraq as the greatest war of lies in contemporary times.
