Irak - Krieg
Die Kriegslüge nun nachgewiesen. The
War Lies Now Documented.
Wie manipuliert eine Regierung eine Nation in einen
unsinnigen Krieg?
How can a nation be manipulated into an unnecessary war?
False Pretenses. Following 9/11, President Bush
and seven top officials of his administration waged a
carefully orchestrated campaign of misinformation about the threat
posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq. By
Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith.
The Center for
Public Integrity. January 2008.
Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the research center
say their work has documented “at least
935 false statements” on hundreds of occasions,
particularly that Iraq had unconventional weapons, links to Al Qaeda,
or both. (NYT, 23.1.08).
An Online Scavenger Hunt on Prewar Claims:
What Did You Find? By
JOHN H. CUSHMAN Jr. (NYT, 23.1.08).
MICHAEL CROWLEY
on Ron Suskind's “The Way of the World”:
"The
White House instructed the C.I.A. to forge a letter, backdated to
July 2001, stating that the 9/11 hijacker
Mohamed Atta had trained in Iraq and,
furthermore, that Iraq had received suspicious shipments (presumably
of yellowcake) from Niger with
Al Qaeda’s help. The letter was to be written and signed by
Tahir Jalil Habbush (a
former Iraqi intelligence chief) on
Iraqi government stationery and addressed to Hussein himself. This
preposterously convenient summary of what a perfect case for war
might look like almost resembled some wry gag from The Onion. But at
the end of 2003 the letter did, in fact, turn up in a British
newspaper, before seeping into the American media."
(NYT,
9/12/08).
Tom Hayden (Ex-SDS):
"Widerstand, bis
Hoffnung keimt"
Tom Hayden
gehört in Amerika zu den Symbolfiguren des Jahres 1968 - Im STANDARD-Interview
vom 4.4.08 über den Irakkrieg, das demokratische Duell um die
Präsidentschaft und die Generation
YouTube.
Nimmt man die Umfragen, so
gelangte die öffentliche Meinung im Falle des Irak schneller als im
Falle Vietnams zum Schluss, dass der Krieg ein Fehler ist. Obwohl im
Irak fünfzehnmal weniger Amerikaner starben als in Vietnam. Obwohl
es heute, anders als damals, keine Wehrpflicht gibt. Diesmal
rebellieren wir nicht als Außenseiter, sondern versuchen es
innerhalb des Systems.
