BASED - RON PAUL - ON how the iraq war got started by the DS - this stunning info never made the news - ever

[Congressional Record: January 26, 2011 (House)]

[Page H503]

The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the

gentleman from Texas (Mr. Paul) is recognized for 5 minutes.

Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, how did the 20-year war get started? It had

been long assumed that the United States Government, shortly before

Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of 1990, gave Saddam Hussein a green

light to attack. A State Department cable recently published by

WikiLeaks confirmed that U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie did indeed have

a conversation with Saddam Hussein one week prior to Iraq's August 1,

1990, invasion of Kuwait. Amazingly, the released cable was entitled,

``Saddam's Message of Friendship to President Bush.'' In it, Ambassador

Glaspie affirmed to Saddam that ``the President had instructed her to

broaden and deepen our relations with Iraq.'' As Saddam Hussein

outlined Iraq's ongoing border dispute with Kuwait, Ambassador Glaspie

was quite clear that, ``we took no position on these Arab affairs.''

There would have been no reason for Saddam Hussein not to take this

assurance at face value. The U.S. was quite supportive of his invasion

and war of aggression against Iran in the 1980s. With this approval

from the U.S. Government, it wasn't surprising that the invasion

occurred. The shock and surprise was how quickly the tables were turned

and our friend, Saddam Hussein, all of a sudden became Hitler

personified.

The document was classified, supposedly to protect national security,

yet this information in no way jeopardized our security. Instead, it

served to keep the truth from the American people about an event

leading up to our initial military involvement in Iraq and the region

that continues to today.

DS then took further action vs Bush loyalists Weinberger et al with Special Counsel appt. and prosecution - actions which assured that BC beat GHWB in the next election - then GUESS WHO freed them from the witch hunt? YUP - US Attorney General William Barr who told Bush to pardon them all—and after which Barr shut down Walsh’s fake investigation entirely.
