The United States government has overestimated the amount of shame that it and American citizens can live down. On February 15 "the indispensable people" had to suffer the hypocrisy of the U.S. Secretary of State delivering a speech about America's commitment to Internet freedom while the U.S. Department of Justice (sic) brought unconstitutional action against Twitter to reveal any connection between WikiLeaks and Bradley Manning, the American hero who, in keeping with the U.S. Military Code, exposed U.S. government war crimes and who is being held in punishing conditions not permitted by the U.S. Constitution. The corrupt U.S. government is trying to create a "conspiracy" case against Julian Assange in order to punish him for revealing U.S. government documents that prove beyond every doubt the mendacity of the U.S. government.
This is pretty bad, but it pales in comparison to the facts revealed on February 15 in the British newspaper,
The Guardian.
The
Guardian obtained an interview with
"Curveball," the source for Colin Powell's speech of total lies to the United
Nations about Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction. Colin Powell's speech created the
stage for the illegal American invasion of Iraq. The Guardian describes "Curveball" as "the man who pulled off one of
the greatest confidence tricks in the history of modern intelligence." As The
Guardian puts it, "Curveball" "manufactured a tale of
dread."
U.S. "intelligence" never
interviewed "Curveball." The Americans started a war based on second-hand
information given to them by incompetent German intelligence, which fell for
"Curveball's" lies that today German intelligence
disbelieves.
As the world now knows, Saddam
Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The Bush/Cheney Regime, of
course, knew this, but "Curveball's" lies were useful to their undeclared
agenda. In his interview with The Guardian,
"Curveball," Rafid Ahmed Alwan
al-Janabi, admitted that he made the whole story up. He wanted to do in Saddam
Hussein and told whatever fantasy lie he could make up that would serve his
purpose.
If the Bush/Cheney Regime had
really believed that Saddam Hussein had world-threatening weapons of mass
destruction, it would have been a criminal act to concentrate America's invading
force in a small area of Kuwait where a few WMD could have wiped out the entire
U.S. invasion force, thus ending the war before it
began.
Some Americans are so thoughtless
that they would say Saddam Hussein would never have used the weapons,
because we would have done this and that to Iraq,
even nuking Baghdad. But why would
Saddam Hussein care if he and his regime were already marked for death? Why
would a doomed man desist from inflicting an extraordinary defeat on the
American Superpower, thus encouraging Arabs everywhere?
Moreover, if Saddam Hussein was unwilling to use his WMD against an invading force, when would he ever use them? It was completely obvious to the U.S. government that no such weapons existed. The weapons inspectors made that completely clear to the Bush/Cheney Regime. There were no Iraqi WMD, and everyone in the U.S. government was apprised of that fact.

Why was there no wonder or
comment in the "free" media that the White House accused Iraq of possession of
terrible weapons of mass destruction, but nevertheless concentrated its invasion
force in such a small area that such weapons could easily have wiped out the
invading force?
Does democracy really exist in a
land where the media is incompetent and the government is unaccountable and lies
through its teeth every time it opens its mouth?
"Curveball" represents a new
level of immorality. Rafid al-Janabi shares responsibility for 1-million
dead Iraqis, 4-million displaced Iraqis, a destroyed country, 4,754 dead
American troops, 40,000 wounded and maimed American troops, $3-trillion of
wasted US resources -- every dollar of which is a debt burden to the American
population and a threat to the dollar as reserve currency -- 10 years of
propaganda and lies about terrorism and al Qaeda connections, an American "war
on terror" that is destroying countless lives in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen,
Somalia, and which has targeted Iran, and which has destroyed the Bill of
Rights, the US Constitution, and the civil liberties that they guarantee. And
the piece of lying excrement, Rafid al-Janabi, is proud that he brought Saddam
Hussein's downfall at such enormous expense.
Now that Rafid al-Janabi is
revealed in the Guardian interview, how safe is he? There are millions of
Iraqis capable of exterminating him for their suffering, and tens of thousands
of Americans whose lives have been ruined by Rafid al-Janabi's
lies.
Why does the U.S. government
pursue Julian Assange and WikiLeaks for telling the truth when "Curveball,"
whose lies wiped out huge numbers of people along with America's reputation,
thinks he can start a political party in Iraq? If the piece of excrement, Rafid
al-Janabi, is not killed the minute he appears in Iraq, it will be a
miracle.
So we are left to contemplate
that a totally incompetent American government has bought enormous instability
to its puppet states in the Middle East, because it desperately wanted to
believe faulty "intelligence" from Germany that an immoralist provided evidence
that Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction.
And America is a superpower, an
indispensable nation.
What a total
joke!
