The Fire This Time

U.S. Invited Saddam Into Kuwait in 1991
The U.S. had been working behind the scenes with both the Iraqis and the Iranians during their war so that they would kill each other off. Kissinger said it was in the U.S. interests for them to kill as many as each other as possible. After that was completed, the U.S. then was filtering oil from the Iraqi side of the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border, with Kuwait, and helping Kuwait to undersell their oil on the world market to destabilize the Iraqi economy and eventually take over their oil. When the democratizing, prosperous Iraqi country was becoming destabilized, Hussein threatened to invade Kuwait, unbeknownst that the U.S. was in cahoots with Kuwait, stealing their oil. The U.S. State Department said it was not in their interests to interfere with Iraqis invasion of Kuwait before the attack occurred. Hussein gave several warnings and the U.S. all but invited the invasion. Why? Well, when Hussein did invade, the U.S. said this was grounds to attack Iraq if they didn’t disengage from Kuwait. It was upon their retreat the U.S. attacked Iraq. It did so to further destabilize Iraq and get the oil well within Iraq’s country.

This is from the former US Attorney General Ramsey Clarks' book, The Fire This Time; Clark is a graduate of the University of Chicago law school, and was overseer of the 1965 Civil Rights and, more importantly, the 1968 Voting Right Acts. What he says about the impending war is more instructive.

150,000 conservatively estimated civilians exterminated by U.S. in 1991 Persian Gulf ‘War’; upwards of 350,000 civilians exterminated from disease, poverty, conditions from 'sanctions', triple the infant mortality from denial of baby formula; 'War': civilians targeted: The Highway of Death; napalm and uranium depleted bombing by the U.S. is a major cause of birth defects and Gulf War Syndrome; only 7% of bombs dropped were smart bombs; Iraqi wounded soldiers, and those seeking to help them, were buried alive in trenches; nuclear power plants and chemical plants were bombed. These are War Crimes. Read about George Bush Sr., et al's illegal “war” that convicted them by International War Tribunal of war crimes, crimes against peace and humanity, against Hague, Geneva Convention, Nuremburg Tribunal, US Constitution, etc., laws. Too bad the Tribunal didn't have the money to implement its trial of the cabal.
