Keeping Hitler Alive from David Grenier:
-
The first pretext given is that we are protecting Iraq’s neighbors. Rarely does the U.S. media report that all of Iraq’s neighbors, including Iran (who was at war with Iraq through the 80s) and Kuwait condemn the U.S. bombing raids and call for a lifting of sanctions in Iraq. The second pretext given is that we are protecting the Kurds in Northern Iraq, which as shown above is simply not true. Not only do we allow the Turks to attack the very Kurds we are protecting, but we may have covertly delivered the Kurdish leader Ocalan to them. Turkey was reluctant to let the United States and Britian use their air bases to bomb Iraq. They were also searching for Ocalan who they claimed was a terrorist. Suddenly Ocalan shows up in Nigeria and is arrested, flown to Turkey, tried and condemned. The U.S./UK bombing went on as planned. Now it’s possible that Turkey has an international spy network with offices in Nigeria, or it’s possible that the CIA flushed out Ocalan in exchange for the use of Turkish military facilities. We probably won’t know for decades.
