Friends, I’d like you to meet Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller.
Who is she, you ask? You may be surprised to know that she was the head of MI5, the main intelligence body in the U.K., from 2002 to 2007. Obviously she is a bright lady who knows lots of things, secret things.
Why do I think a post about her is important? Well, she is currently involved in a U.K. inquiry into the Iraq War which the U.S., the U.K. and Australia were involved in. According to Al Jazeera, during the course of the inquiry, she said:
"There was a lack of evidence linking Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi leader, to the September 11 attacks in the US."
"Arguably we gave Osama bin Laden his Iraqi jihad, so that he was able to move into Iraq in a way that he was not before."
"Undoubtedly the war increased the threat [of domestic attacks in the U.K.], and by 2004 we were pretty well swamped".
"The war had radicalised a whole generation of young people and that some British Muslims perceived the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan to be an attack on Islam."
"Between 2001 and 2008, Britain investigated about 16 "substantial" domestic plots, of which about 12 were stopped," she told the hearing. Of course, you will remember that, in July 2005, four suicide bombers detonated bombs on London’s transport network, killing 52 commuters and injuring hundreds more.
Friends, the gist of her evidence is that Saddam did not cause 9/11, Iraq did not have Weapons of Mass Destruction, Iraq posed no threat to the U.K. or Australia or America, and the invasion of Iraq has led to an increase in terrorism and the growth of Al Queda not a decrease.
So much for the duplicitous Western propaganda which we are drowning in. All this talk about "We have to fight ‘terrists over there’ before they engulf us is pure crap.
The world is being sucked into endless war by a nation that is more interested in controlling the world and its resources rather than bringing enlightenment or democracy to anyone.
Iraq today is in complete turmoil with daily suicide bombings killing scores of Iraqi citizens. Afghanistan isn’t much better. And the U.S., nearly bankrupt, is now trying to get the nuking of Iran up and running again using lies.
The Americans, aided by the U.K. and even Australia (to a small extent), is destroying nation after nation for no justifiable reason (imperialism is no justification) and the Baroness has exposed their lies.
She is a brave woman, an honest woman. We should admire her.
