The Charges
1. The United States engaged in a pattern of conduct .... intended to lead Iraq into provocations justifying U.S. military action against Iraq and permanent U.S. military domination of the Gulf.
- President Bush .... intended and acted to prevent any interference with his plan to destroy Iraq economically and militarily.
President Bush coerced the United Nations Security Council into an unprecedented series of resolutions, finally securing authority for any nation in its absolute discretion by all necessary means to enforce the resolutions. To secure votes the U.S. paid multi-billion dollar bribes, offered arms for regional wars, threatened and carried out economic retaliation, forgave multi-billion dollar loans (including a $7 billion loan to Egypt for arms), offered diplomatic relations despite human rights violations and in other ways corruptly exacted votes, creating the appearance of near universal international approval of U.S. policies toward Iraq. Any country which opposed the U.S., as Yemen did, lost millions of dollars in aid, as promised, the costliest vote it ever cast.
Sounds familiar, but a little off.... ?
Now the SAME program is hitting the media in the race to go after IRAN!!!!!
Iran has tried many times to follow the rules that were given them in their quest for nuclear powered electricity and this administration is doing EXACTLY the same thing to them as was done to Iraq.
International War Crimes Tribunal
This is from a site that I think is a must read, if only to see how history was repeated.
Also an excellent source of information for International Law and War Crimes, UN Charter, the Hague and Geneva Conventions, the Nuremberg Charter, and the laws of armed conflict, which are applicable to this Bush administration, which is full of the original players.
President Bush consistently rejected and ridiculed Iraq's efforts to negotiate a peaceful resolution, beginning with Iraq's.... proposal, largely ignored, and ending with its .... peace offer which he called a "cruel hoax." For his part, President Bush consistently insisted there would be no negotiation, no compromise, no face saving, no reward for aggression.
Simultaneously, he accused Saddam Hussein of rejecting diplomatic solutions.
President Bush led a sophisticated campaign to demonize Saddam Hussein, calling him a Hitler, repeatedly citing reports - which he knew were false.
After subverting every effort for peace, President Bush began the destruction of Iraq.....
This Commission of Inquiry for an International War Crimes Tribunal was held after the first Bush Iraq war.
This is a subject I diaried on over a year ago, I hope will reach new readers.
