... many of his statements appear to be false. President Bush addressed the United Nations on September 22nd 2002 and said, "Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons." These words tell us that he strongly believed that a war on Iraq was necessary. However it seems as if he may have been manipulating us into believing Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Until this day, these words are a lie. The UN had allowed itself to be used by the United States and Britain in an inspections-sanctions regime that was both false. The deceit came from the fact that the inspections were used by the United States not just to remove Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction but to punish him and force him out in "regime change". The media doesn’t dwell on the fact that the US were wrong in invading Iraq, nor will they spend much time on the issue of Saddam’s threatening weapons of mass destruction that supposedly justified the invasion. The Iraq invasions were formed by an enormous difference of forces and massive firepower used by the US and highly civilian destructive weapons, including a number that are considered weapons of mass destruction, the exact same weapons the US were trying to apparently find and destroy! The aim in the war was to keep US wounded low, for domestic and political reasons. But such aims tend to be at the expense of heavy civilian casualties in target areas. In recent wars, America used used up uranium which is a radioactive weapon that poses a serious health threat to civilians in the target areas, as well as soldiers, and its use is almost surely a violation of international law. But the pentagon likes it, the United States use it, and therefore the media and international community ignore its use. There seems to be a separate law for the US purely because many governments are in the hands of the US. It was used in Iraq, along with cluster bombs and big bombs, against an enemy without an air force. For what reason do US needed to use such powerful weapons against such a small, depleted army? Just imagine, you were a student in Iraq, living life normally, just like you and I, suddenly losing all your family and friends in an act of war, seeing your parents die in front of you, or maybe being hit by a bomb and knocked out, only to find when you wake your legs gone and you face disfigurement. How would you feel? Well that’s what these civilians faced every day during the war. It’s not just the Iraqis killed during the war, 1,700 us soldiers died and dozens of coalition troops were killed. That is nothing in compariso...
