LIES FROM THE PRESIDENT
Hi len,
I loved the segment on CNN when Scott Ritter, being interviewed from Baghdad said exactly the same thing about the lies that were told to Congress to pass the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, and subsequently cost about 60,000 American lives and about 3,000,000 Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian lives, excluding the madness of Pol Pot.
What these scoundrels in the Bushista junta are proposing is totally immoral and unjustifiable.
And let's not forget how they lied about the Kuwaiti babies tossed out incubators in order to seduce a naive nation into the Gulf War......... Grrrr...

Quote: "When George H. W. Bush ordered American forces to the Persian Gulf – to reverse Iraq's August 1990 invasion of Kuwait – part of the administration case was that an Iraqi juggernaut was also threatening to roll into Saudi Arabia.
Citing top-secret satellite images, Pentagon officials estimated in mid–September that up to 250,000 Iraqi troops and 1,500 tanks stood on the border, threatening the key US oil support.
But when the St. Petersburg Times in Florida acquired two commercial Soviet satellite images of the same area, taken at the same time, no Iraqi troops were visible near the Saudi border – just empty desert.
"It was a pretty serious fib," says Jean Heller, the Times journalist who broke the story.
