From Panama to Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and Syria

U.S. Lies Weapons of mass destruction and “uprisings”: Five invasions, three continents, deceit identical

“I do not understand this prudishness about using gas. We have definitely adopted the position at the Peace Conference of arguing in favor of the retention of gas as a permanent method of warfare … I am strongly in favor of using poison gas against uncivilized tribes. “

(Winston S. Churchill, 1874-1965, the minutes of the War Office, May 12, 1919.)

While increases aggression against Syria, as well as increasingly risky claims and double standards, and wave, plotting and terrorist financing (sorry: “help legitimate opposition”), it is instructive to consider the justifications provided by the U.S. government . States. in other murderous raids in recent history.

This month marks the twenty-third anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Panama on December 20, 1989, while the Panamanians prepared their Christmas celebrations. A quick reminder that the late Philip Agee recalled that President George HW Bush told the American people that the threat of Panama (population: 3571185-2011) was so great that “our way of life is at stake.” Agee referred to this in his lecture aptly named “Producing the appropriate crisis” [1]. Rightly then as now. Nothing changes.

 The aim of the invasion was to capture the country’s leader, General Manuel Noriega and, of course, “establish a democratic government.” Regime change.

With the upcoming transfer of control of the Panama Canal to Panama (originally scheduled for January 1, 1990) after a century of American colonial administration, U.S. wanted to make sure it was in the hands of docile allies.

 Noriega, a CIA asset since 1967 [2] who had also attended the notorious School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia, came to power with U.S. backing, but apparently their support for U.S. . weakened.To cut a long story, USA kidnapped him and sentenced him to forty years in prison.

The invasion plan called “Operation Prayer”. He was later renamed “Operation Just Cause”, and General Colin Powell said it was a nickname he adopted since “Even our harshest critics would have to say” just cause “to attack us.” (Colin Powell, with Joseph E. Persico: My American Journey, 1995.)

 All military plunder should be called simply: “Operation Stupid Name 1, then 2, 3, 4, etc.., Until they ran out of numbers.

 27,000 U.S. troops backed by Apache helicopters decimated much of the small country, with a defense force of only 3,000. George Bush senior, said it was to overthrow an evil dictator who was abusing his own people (sound familiar?) And that action was needed to “protect American lives.” It was also about “defending democracy and human rights in Panama” and “protect the Canal.” What a surprise! Right?

Manuel Noriega was released from the U.S. prison in 2007, extradited to France, which had been awarded the country’s highest honor, the Legion d’honneur in 1987. He remained in jail in France until December 2011, and was returned to Panama, where he is still in jail.

In the almost forgotten tithes of Panama (unless it is Panamanian) the densely populated, impoverished village of El Chorrillo was incinerated by U.S. actions to an extent that was called “Little Hiroshima”.

A woman accused that “Americans began burning El Chorrillo near 6.30 in the morning. They threw a small devices to a house and caught fire, then went to another, burning of a street to the next, coordinating fires with radio handsets. “

Reportedly a U.S. soldier said: “We ask that you surrender… if you do not, we are willing to wipe each and every one of the buildings.”

 “They were shooting at everything that moved,” said a resident of the city.

 The dead were sent to mass graves and witnesses said U.S. troops used flamethrowers against the dead, and noted that the bodies writhing in fire. Others were leveled by bulldozers [3].

 There are worse things. While current Pharisaic statements, even contradictory, Washington and Whitehall flow of chemical weapons Syria unsubstantiated, the proven facts relate to the U.S.

“From the forties to the nineties, USA used various parts of Panama as a testing ground of chemical weapons, including mustard gas, VX, sarin, hydrogen cyanide and other nerve gases … in mines, rockets and shells, perhaps tens of thousands of chemical munitions. “ (William Blum: Rogue State, 2002).

 Moreover, from Panama in late 1999 left “many sites containing chemical weapons. They had also “secret tested Agent Orange in Panama …” In the 1989 invasion, the village of Pacora, near Panama City, “was bombarded with (chemicals) for helicopters and U.S. Southern Command ., with substances that burn the skin, causing intense pain and diarrhea. “

Many analysts thought that Panama was the proving ground for Iraq.

Nine months after the poisoning of Panama in Hiroshima Day 1990, the United Nations imposed the embargo against Iraq choke driven by the U.S., once the U.S. ambassador in Iraq, April Glaspie, gave the green light to Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, after considerable provocation and destabilization of financial and geographical Kuwait [4].

 Sensationalism and other chemical weapons were fired, leading to Saddam Hussein to comment: “I fear that one day you will say we produce wheat using gunpowder.”

Thirteen months after Panama, USA led a coalition of 31 countries to “reduce Iraq to a pre-industrial era.” The only chemicals released in Iraq were the toxic mix of pharmaceutical bombed factories and fertilizer plants producing cars and factories across Iraq’s industrial base, including complex chemical and biological medicines, sold Iraq by U.S., UK, Germany and other previous decades, ironically sales, continued while the attack took place [5].

However, were introduced highly toxic, radioactive substances in Iraq, in the form of up to seven hundred fifty tons of depleted uranium munitions chemically toxic and radioactive with a “half-life” toxic than 4,500 million years. The endless list of deformed babies, stillborn, aborted, children born with cancers, small tombs, is a silent witness of weapons of mass destruction singular perversity. Iraq was bombed for 42 days and nights.

The overly publicized allegedly manufactured chemical weapons by Iraq, of course never met.

On 24 March 1999, NATO began to liberate Kosovo from Serbia. (The stupid name given by U.S.: Operation Noble Anvil) estimated that Kosovo was “inexhaustible” minerals for an estimated ten trillion (million & million) dollars in Trebca mines.

The “liberation” consisted of 78 days of continuous bombardment, including the use of depleted uranium weaponry. Was 20,000 tons of bombs dropped. Systematically destroyed communication facilities, fuel depots, airports, communications traffic, trains, markets, the Chinese Embassy, ​​which opposed the attack. NATO, unconvincingly, said he had the wrong map. And, indeed, the center of the media. The killing of journalists is now another routine, a war crime for which there is no accountability.

Before the attack, the Pentagon said the Yugoslav Army had at least two types of toxic gases, with facilities to produce them. The U.S. Department of Defense warned Slobodan Milosevic and the Yugoslav Army General Staff: “If Belgrade uses toxic gases sarin and mustard against NATO, the response of the Organization North Atlantic Treaty will be devastating.”

Interestingly, after the start of air strikes, NATO did not mention once that was attacking the productive capacity of Serbia declared chemical weapons by the U.S. (Zagreb Globus, April 16, 1999, pages 18-19.)

The massive scale destruction, however, did not affect Trebca mines.

On August 14, 2000, nine heavily armed British soldiers, French, Italian, Pakistani and KFOR helicopters landed in the mines. Managers and workers tried to resist and were beaten, attacked with tear gas and plastic bullets. Resistant staff was arrested.

The UN documents describing the action as “… induction of democratization in Kosovo”. The attack, in fact, paved the way for the sale of the mines with content “unquenchable” of about 77,302,000 tons of coal, copper, zinc, lead, nickel, gold, silver, marble, manganese, iron ore, asbestos and limestone “to name a few” foreign private groups (news reports, websites.)

The “Kosovo Liberation Army” had been: “… trained and supported for years with millions of U.S. dollars and German marks … through the CIA and the BND (German intelligence service) for this war, civil war misleadingly called” [6] by government spokespersons and NATO governments.

Chemical and radiological properties of DU also rained down on the former Yugoslavia. In 2001, doctors at the hospital run by Serbs Kosovo Mitrovica stated that the number of patients suffering from malignant diseases had increased by 200% from a 1998 study.

A 2003 study by the United Nations Program for Environment (UNEP) found samples contaminated water and air in Bosnia Herzegovina. There was, of course, ’cause for alarm. “ Pekka Haavisto, former Minister of the Environment of Finland, head of UNEP, called for a comprehensive and exhaustive research to establish the true extent and dangers of pollution. U.S. -Cited as the only country to use depleted uranium weapons in that conflict-blocked the application [7].

However, there was alarm in Europe when peacekeepers Italian, Portuguese, Belgian and French developed cancers in the region, in a matter of months, a high proportion of those diagnosed died.Norwegian peacekeepers refused to be involved [8].

“Less than a month after the end of the war in Yugoslavia in 1999, the National Council on Radiation Protection British Britons warned of the dangers of remaining in Kosovo due to contamination of their territory by DU weapons.”

The peacekeepers, incidentally, were in Kosovo for weeks or months, people in the region live there, and the plight of their health and that of future generations was ignored and forgotten by their “liberators”.They had other “tyrants” to overthrow, to fight other people in their lives, limbs and livelihoods.

Iraq had again been bombed by U.S. and the UK during the Christmas season of 1998, four months before the attack on Yugoslavia and returned to radar since the invasion. The lies were familiar, and incessant, a currently topical example, one of many:

“September 2, 2002: Expert: Iraq has tons of chemical weapons.

“While some in the Bush administration pushing for a preemptive strike against Iraq, weapons experts say there is growing evidence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has amassed large stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons hiding a possible military attack U.S.

“Washington’s concern is that Iraq could provide these arms to terrorists … ‘If we wait until the danger is obvious, it may be too late,” said Sen. Joseph Biden, Democrat of Delaware, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. “

Now that Vice President Biden is, we can not help but ask if you have any involvement in the bias on Syria, with his words eerily similar.

“John Wolfsthal, an analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said the significant inventory of Iraq:” Iraq continues to possess several tons of chemical weapons agents, enough to kill thousands of civilians or soldiers, “said Wolfsthal “[9].

Also: “Experts in United Nations weapons have said that Iraq may have stored more than 600 metric tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, VX and sarin. Neither knows the whereabouts of some 25,000 rockets and 15,000 artillery shells with chemical, experts said.

“The concern is at hand, or could quickly create, the ability to produce vast quantities of Anthrax, tons of material” was the further statement of Wolfsthal.

“Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld ” said: “… Iraq has mobile biological weapons laboratories, it would be nearly impossible to identify and attack U.S. forces” The lives of thousands of people are at stake, he said. Indeed, since the invasion deaths of Iraqis by U.S. and British or their militias, and the puppet government tax, represent a real holocaust.

According to Jonathan Schwartz, who refocused the pack of lies about Iraq by General Colin Powell on February 5, 2003: “My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. There are statements. What I present are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence … “Powell is now repentant.

Schwartz shows little understanding. On the fifth anniversary of misleading nonsense Powell, February 5, 2008, said: “Despite all the criticism that Powell has received so-called ‘painful’ and something ‘will always be part of my history’ – does not approach what is justified. Powell was much more than horribly wrong, the evidence is conclusive evidence that Amano and ignored repeated warnings that what he was saying was false. “

Totally illegal invasion of Iraq, based on a bunch of lies began transatlantic just 45 days later. Does your stupid name? “Operation Iraqi Liberation” OIL [Oil].

The lies about Libya under Colonel Gaddafi who arrived at the tip of the Human Development Index in Africa are recent memory. Nonetheless, a few memories:

The CIA paid traitors abound in these invasions and other for decades. For example, General Abdul Fatah Younis, the interior minister of Colonel Gaddafi, who “defected to the opposition” - what will have been its price? – And became chief of staff of the insurgents: “… advocated that NATO allies of the rebels arm themselves with heavy weapons, including helicopters and anti-tank missiles, to defend the besieged city of Misurata. He predicted that the dictator … would be willing to use chemical weapons as a last resort against rebels or civilians. “ (Amazing, words identical to the argument list of the current “opposition” Syrian.)

“Gaddafi is desperate now. Unfortunately it still has about 25% of its chemical weapons, which could be used as it is in a desperate situation … “

“We know that Colonel Gaddafi has about 10 tons of mustard gas remaining stocks had been destroyed under the supervision of a United Nations agency, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons” [10].

In context, in 2002, Neil Mackay, Investigations Editor winning Sunday Herald, said: “Driven by greed and a profound lack of morality, the British government violated the Chemical Weapons Convention selling chemicals” that could become weapons of war. “

Countries that benefited from UK sales, Mackay said, including Libya, Yemen, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, India, Kenya, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Turkey and Uganda, “clearly admitted” a manager of the Department of Trade and Industry.

After handshake of Tony Blair with Colonel Gaddafi in March 2004, the British government announced plans to send experts to Libya to destroy chemical weapons it had sold, noting that Colonel Gaddafi had misled Blair over his existence. They seem to have forgotten that he was shipping documents. Equal to the ambiguities in the UK over Iraq.

Between the beginning of the destruction of Libya on March 19, 2011 and the inauguration of NATO on March 31, 2011, USA and the United Kingdom launched 110 cruise missiles against a country with a population of less than 6.5 million inhabitants. When NATO took command of “humanitarian intervention”, attacked the 26,500 minimum population with bombing raids.

Of course there were tears presidential children killed in Libya, whose death must have been preceded by an unimaginable horror, in an attack that had two stupid names, one for the U.S.: “Operation Odyssey Dawn” and one for the NATO’s “Operation Unified Protector”, the latter, defies comment.

Gaddafi himself lost three young grandchildren and three sons. In 1986, another bombing in U.S.adopted a little girl lost.

Moments after being informed of his terrible death at the hands of an angry mob “protected” by NATO, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared on television laughing as he said: “We went, we saw, he died”.

Said long ago: “I really think that it takes a village to raise a child.” Now he seems to think that we must wipe out the village, their children, their parents and lynch the village elder to have a chance of strident mirth on television.

On December 4, 2012, Clinton warned that President Bashar al-Assad of Syria might be moving, guess what: “an arsenal of chemical weapons.”

“We made it very clear our views. This is a red line for U.S. I will not detail specifically what we would do if they have evidence that the Assad regime has resorted to the use of chemical weapons against his own people, but certainly enough to say that we plan to take action if it happened, “he told a press conference in Prague.

Of course they “could use” weapons “to contain sarin gas,” according to another U.S. official. Another added: “… we are concerned about any action that might mean that somehow are willing to use those chemical weapons against his own people [11].

“Déjà vu again” as they say.

 Syria said on December 6: “Syria again emphasizes, for the tenth, hundredth time, that if we had such weapons, would not be used against the people. Not commit suicide, “said Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Al Maqdad in Lebanese Al Manar television …”

“We fear that a conspiracy exists to provide a pretext for any subsequent interventions in Syria by countries that increase pressure on Syria.” BTW. Can not say it’s the first time.

In late October, U.S. troops arrived in Jordan for a major joint exercise near the Syrian border. Operation Stupid and Child Name: “Operation Lion Ambitious”. Al Asad translates into Arabic as: the lion.

Ironically, the first statement that Syria has chemical weapons appears to have come from John R.Bolton, who according to Congressman Henry Waxman persuaded George W. Bush to include the fairy-tale purchase yellow-cake from Niger in his State of the Union 2003. The claim has not been proven, however, since the documents are still classified.

Bolton is involved with a plethora of organizations unless liberals, including the Project for the New American Century, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) and the National Rifle Association.

Regarding Syria, we must also remember that the country is increasingly harsh sanctions since 2004.

The chief ex-inspector Iraq Weapons of Scott Ritter wrote that “chemical weapons have a shelf life of five years. Biological weapons have a shelf life of three. “ They also emit an “ether”, experts say, that may be identified by satellite surveillance, which is sure to Syria, as before Iraq has undergone exhaustive.

 God forbid, Washington, Whitehall, Tel Aviv and the coalition of the coercive again make a fuss over nothing. God help them make.
