Powell Lied
Based
on: Truth behind US 'poison factory'
http://www.observer.co.uk/iraq/story/0,12239,892112,00.html
On
Sunday, February 9, 2003 Luke Harding of The Observer reported from northern
Iraq at the terrorist camp Colin Powell claimed was a al-Qaeda international
network center. Powell claimed this camp in Iraq was run by Ansar al-Islam, an
Islamic terrorist group. He further claimed it was a 'terrorist chemicals and
poisons factory.' The terrorist factory was no such thing! It is a run down
slumof concrete buildings. A bakery is one. There are no signs of any chemicals
anywhere. The kitchen had some chopped up vegetables. There was a Kalashnikov
propped against one wall. The Islamic group that uses the camp invited Harding
and other foreign press. 'We are just a group of Muslims trying to do our
duty,' Mohammad Hasan, their spokesman said. 'We don't have any drugs for our
fighters. We don't even have any aspirin. How can we produce any chemicals or
weapons of mass destruction?'

Proof Powell Lied to UN
Based
on: "No casus belli? Invent one!"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,889419,00.html
On
Wednesday February 5, 2003, Maggie O'Kane reported that there was heavy
reliance on "classified" satellite photographs alleged to show that a
month after Saddam's invasion of Kuwait in September 1990 that there were
260,000+ Iraqi soldiers and over 1,400 tanks waiting at the border to invade Saudi Arabia. The threat of Saddam
aggressively expanding his empire to Saudi Arabia was central to going to war,
but the satellite photos were never released. The US cabinet met on the day
Iraq invaded Kuwait, August 2, 1990.
War was only a possibility. Norman Schwarzkopf wrote about it in his
autobiography," It Doesn't Take a Hero". General Colin Powell told
him: "I think we could go to war if they invaded Saudi Arabia. I doubt if
we would go to war over Kuwait." Next time Powell met Schwarzkopf , Powell
told him to prepare for war in Saudi Arabia. "I was stunned. A lot must
have happened after I left Camp David that Powell wasn't talking about. President
Bush had made up his mind to send troops." America and Britain were now
beating the drums of war. New resolutions were passed by the UN security
council since Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait was no longer enough. The pictures
were still top secret.
Jean Heller
at the St Petersburg Times persuaded her boss to buy pictures from a commercial
satellite, he Soyuz Karta, to verify Powell's claims. There was no sign of any
troops or tanks. "The satellite pictures were so clear that at Riyadh
airport in Saudi Arabia you could see American planes sitting wingtip to
wingtip," said Heller. Two experts verified her anaylsis. Peter Zimmerman,
a satellite expert at George Washington University said, "I looked at them
with a colleague of mine and we both said exactly the same thing at exactly the
same moment: 'Where are they?' 'We could see clearly the main road leading
right through Kuwait, south to Saudi Arabia, but it was covered with sand banks
from the wind and it was clear that no army had moved over it. We could see
empty barracks where you would have expected these thousands of troops to be
billeted, but they were deserted as well." Powell has admitted it! There
was no immenint invasion. The Kuwaiti government had spent $2m surreptitiously
with a public relations firm to sell the war. Their worst deception was the
"incubator babies". Iraqi soldiers were said to have taken premature
babies from incubators at the Al Adnan hospital in Kuwait, and "left them
on the cold floor to die". The PR firm's work involved rehearsing six
liars to fake details of the premature baby propaganda. Niyirah al Sabah who,
unknown to her audience, was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US,
told the story in gross detail to Congress during November 1990, just before
the critical vote . Crying, she claimed she saw the Iraqi troops' cruelty while she worked as a
volunteer. But a Filipino nurse in the hospital, Myra Ancog-Cooke, revealed that none of the staff there had ever
seen or known of Niyirah al Sabah. Myra
was assigned to the children's ward with the other Filipino nurse, Freida
Contrais-Naig. They had stayed behind to sleep and protect the incubator babies. "I remember
someone called and said, 'Look at CNN, they are talking about us." We
watched and it was strange seeing that girl telling them about the Iraqis
taking the babies out of the incubators. I said to Freida, 'That's funny, we've
never seen her. She never worked here.' We didn't think very much about it
really. We were more excited seeing our hospital on the television".
President Bush mentioned the incubator babies in five speeches. They were
mentioned in seven senators speeches backing the war. The PR firm was unashamed
over the sham pulled on the UN security council, the US Congress, the press,
and the public!
