Did anyone watch this documentary on SBS last night ?
Nothing new to me but it was very interesting and eye opening to anyone who was of the opinion that going to War in Iraq was the right thing to do.
Unbeleivable how in todays world, where we pride ourselves on being civilised, informed and compassionate, that a propaganda regime can brainwash the masses in the same manner that Nazi Germany did 50 years ago.
Lies, lies and more lies.
From Iraq having weapons of mass destruction to Iraq's involvement in September 11.
Yet the general public lapped it up !!
"It has to be true becaues CNN, CBS and FOX says it is "!!
How these hawks in the Whitehouse can manifest a plot that even Hollywood couldn't think of, and get away with it is just mind boggling.
Interesting how immediately after the September 11 attack Bush, Wolfowitz, Cheney and others decided to pin this on Iraq before even knowing what had happened, even before the CIA had given them any intelligence on the event.
If you think that the documentary is based on some left wing opinion, then think again. All the accounts and information were given by current and former CIA personnel, political and media representatives.
Another interesting account in the documentary was when the Whitehouse employed the services of a former/current CIA agent (? I think he was, didn't quite catch his title) to go to Nigeria and inspect whether Nigeria had been dealing Uranium and other nuclear materials with Iraq. His detailed report to the Whitehouse outlined that there had been no such dealings. However in Bush's address to the nation prior to the war, a speach that is probably the most important in a Presidents reign, he blatantly lied and said that there had been dealing between Nigeria and Iraq in nuclear materials.
It was also interesting how the Whitehouse implemented a smear campign on Hanx Blix, the UN weapons inspector, after he breifed them and the world that Iraq had no weapons.
The best bit was when an old US government advisor absolutely blasted Bush and his administration at a government hearing, about the lies, the deception, and the arrogance.
Part II to this documentary will be next Tuesday on SBS at 8.30 pm.
Also another eye opening documentary on the whole Bush/Whitehouse/Iraq farce is "Farenheit 9/11" by Mike Moore that is out on cinemas at the moment I beleive. You can also go to his website wwwmikemoore.com (I think it is - or something like that)
Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Powell, Howard, Downer, Blair etc. - all international criminals of the highest order. Have all been directly responible for the slaughter of thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women and children. If there is any justice in this world they must all join Milosevic and Hussein at the war crimes tribunal !!
