A disgusting tactic I think you'll agree. hmm...Now think back not so long
ago when the US went to war with Iraq - the US preferred biological warfare
(what do you think would happen in Chicago if someone destroyed the power,
water, and sewage systems?)

During the previous Gulf War (an unnecessary conflict, since Saddam was
still calling President Bush to negotiate his withdrawal from Kuwait when
the missiles arrived over Baghdad), the Allies deliberately destroyed the
infrastructure of Iraq, wiping out power plants, telephone exchanges,
bridges, water purification and sewage disposal plants.

This torrential bomb and missile attack (exceeding WWII tonnage) had little
or nothing to do with removing Saddam's forces from Kuwait.

As Ramsey Clark reported, "The accuracy of US missiles and bombs can be
measured by the fact that during the systematic assault on a defenseless
society in January and February, 1991, every type of civilian facility was
destroyed-homes, apartment projects, markets and shops, schools, hospitals,
mosques, churches and synagogues. The punitive cruise missiles in later
years killed such dangerous people as hotel workers...in Baghdad, the
director of the Museum of Modern Art and the most inspired woman artist in
the world in her home."

Clinton glibly spoke of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, which, in
reality were long since gone. However, the US-UN weapons of mass destruction
are still very much in force. Starvation, the chief such weapon wielded by
the US-led UN campaign, has killed over 2 million Iraqis.

The media spoke of Saddam's "biological weapons," but in reality, the
systematic bombing of a people's water supply, hospitals and sewage-disposal
systems is biological warfare at its cruelest. No need to loft biological
missiles when you can destroy a civilization's daily control of potable
water and disease.

Both the Bush and Clinton administrations continued the inhumane assault by
placing embargos on the instruments and machinery necessary to rebuild
Iraq's water-refining plants, pumping stations and sewage-disposal units.

Ramsey Clark also pointed out that the UN Security Councils prohibition of
travel by Iraqi leadership, is because

"its clear motive is to silence voices. You do not want the Iraqi Minister
of Health to inform the world of the genocidal effect of your sanctions. You
do not want political leaders to answer or debate the false claims of US
propaganda. You want the people of Iraq to suffer and die in isolation,
voiceless and without remorse."
