The Bush Deceit

By Peter D. Zimmerman
Thursday, August 14, 2003; Page A19


It was not just 16 words. It was every word concerning Iraq's nuclear weapons program in George W. Bush's 2003 State of the Union speech.

The current President Bush was not the first leader to take the United States to war with Iraq using phony intelligence.

In September 1990 his father's administration claimed that Iraq had hundreds of tanks and 300,000 troops in Kuwait massed on the Saudi border. But independent analysis by me and a colleague, using extremely sharp Soviet satellite photos, showed no evidence whatever of a significant Iraqi force in Kuwait. Nonetheless, in 1990 the American people were told that an attack on Saudi Arabia was imminent.

Postwar analysis showed that the independent analysis published in this country in the St. Petersburg Times was dead accurate: There were not 300,000 but fewer than 100,000 Iraqi troops and only a few Iraqi tanks in Kuwait.

1. Gee, look at that

Another article in the news section that contradicts a Post editorial. You have to wonder how the two divisions even get into the same newspaper.

4. NO.

It is numbingly scary how this country is being victimized by these corrupt criminals.

Just think of the bills being created for future generations here and the pain and hardships for generations around the world created by the death and destruction created in the name of oil profits.

"Disarming" my ass.
