„Out of the mirror they stare,
Imperialism’s face
And the international wrong.“ (W.H. Auden, 1907-1973, writing in 1939.)

Twenty years ago this August, with a green light from America, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. He had walked into possibly the biggest trap in modern history, unleashing Iraq’s two decade decimation, untold suffering, illegal bombings, return of diseases previously eradicated and what can also only be described as UN-sponsored infanticide.

The reason for the Kuwait invasion, has been air brushed out of the fact books by Britain and America, and been presented as the irrational and dangerous act of a belligerent tyrant who was a threat to his neighbours. He had, they pointed out piously, attacked, then fought an eight year war with Iran, and exactly two years to the month, after the 20th August 1988 ceasefire, invaded Kuwait, on 2nd August 1990.

It was, of course, not quite that simple. After the US engineered the fall of the democratic government of Mossadegh, in Iran, resultant from his nationalizing the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now BP) in 1953. After two years of economically ravaging sanctions, The US installed Shah Reza Pahvlavi (whose savage state police, SAVAK, were trained by General Norman Schwartzkopf, Snr., father of General „Storming“ Norman Schwartzopf of the 1991 Gulf war, who famously declared at the time of the ceasefire: „… no one left to kill ..“ ) Under the Shah, oil arrangements satisfactory to the United States were, of course, restored.

The Kosovo Liberations Army: Does Clinton Policy Support Grouop with Terror, Drug Ties?

From ‘Terrorists’ to ‘Partners’

On March 24, 1999, NATO initiated air attacks on Yugoslavia (a federation of two republics, Serbia and Montenegro) in order to impose a peace agreement in the Serbian province of Kosovo, which has an ethnic Albanian majority. The Clinton Administration has not formally withdrawn its standing insistence that Belgrade sign the peace agreement, which would entail the deployment in Kosovo of some 28,000 NATO ground troops — including 4,000 Americans — to police the settlement. But in recent days the Clinton public line has shifted to a demand that Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic halt the offensive he has launched in Kosovo, which has led to a growing humanitarian crisis in the region, before there can be a stop to the bombing campaign.

Gates: United States Joint Forces Command und Hälfte der Generalität überflüssig

Von petrapez | 10.August 2010 um 13:50 Uhr

Sparen in der Fünfeck-Gebäudezentrale – US-Verteidigungsminister setzt Rotstift in Bewegung: 100 Milliarden Dollar Einsparungen in den nächsten fünf Jahren im 700 Milliarden schweren Pentagon-Budget, um besser Krieg führen zu können.

Haushaltssanierungen sind zur Zeit das Top-Thema auf der Welt infolge katastrophalen Missmanagements zu Gunsten der kapitalen Herrschaften, nicht nur in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Robert Gates versucht sein Scherflein beizutragen und kündigte umfangreiche Sparmassnahmen in seinem Verteidigungsressort an, das in diesem Falle doch wohl eher Kriegsministerium heissen müsste.
