	Washington presses ahead with war plans against Iraq (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Following the last-minute cancellation of the planned assault on Iraq, American and British officials are letting it be known it is only a matter of time before they unleash a massive missile and bomb attack on the impoverished country.
		A significant aspect of the current war drive is the lack of concern on the part of the government for public opinion.
		This is in contrast to the war buildup last winter, when Clinton administration officials held a series of town meetings around the country to make their case for air strikes against Iraq.

	Bush administration confirms plans for war against Iraq
		The US and Britain continue to bomb Iraq more than a decade after the supposed end of the war, while the economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations, at US instigation, are responsible for a modern holocaust, the death of as many as one million Iraqis, mainly children, the elderly, the sick and the poor.
		The Turkish regime is fearful that a war in Iraq could lead to the creation of an independent Kurdistan in the north, which would become a magnet for millions of Kurds in southeastern Turkey who are presently denied their national rights.
		War is the means chosen by American imperialism to establish a dominant position in the oil-rich Middle East and Central Asia.

	The Imperialist War Against Iraq
		This war is an illegal war as international law and the Charter of the United Nations recognise only two legitimate reasons for going to war: self-defence in the event of an attack or an action authorized by the United Nations Security Council as a collective response to a threat to peace.
		The war on Iraq is consistent with the new National Security Strategy adopted by the Bush administration, by which the United States would do everything in its power to maintain its paramount military supremacy and not hesitate to act alone and engage in pre-emptive action in its ‘self-defence’.
		The war against Iraq is necessitated by the requirement to prevent a further shift by OPEC as a whole towards accepting the euro as the currency for oil transactions.

	Movement Against War in Iraq
		This is all happening very publicly. The public is being extensively informed about the war. The US administration explains its actions daily, while skeptical allies have presented their concerns and objections before the broadest of audiences, even — intentionally — in the midst of election campaigns.
		Without a doubt, America’s war aim consists in secured access to the oil deposits in the Gulf region. After all, what is at issue is the most important of all raw materials for energy for the world economy, and in that respect a significant source of capitalistic wealth.
		Since that’s the case, and since the objections against America’s leadership are born of an unconditionally good opinion of its actual tasks, the denouncing of the “Bush warriors” is hardly the last word from the peace movement on the Iraq case.

	THE UNITED STATES AND THE IRAN-IRAQ WAR
		Iraq, however, would only agree if it could pay the full costs (thus legitimating its claim to the entire river), and no agreement could be reached.<134> Then, the Nonaligned Ministerial Committee proposed a cease-fire simultaneous with withdrawal, with demilitarized zones on both sides.
		The militant mullahs had seen their power grow during the war; though the Shah had originally been ousted by a wide range of political forces, the crusade against Iraq had enabled the right-wing clerics to mobilize the population and to prevail over their domestic opponents.
		Iraq responded to Iranian victories on the ground by making use of its advantage in technology: it escalated the tanker war, employed chemical weapons, and launched attacks on civilian targets.

	Groups Preparing New Push Against Iraq War (washingtonpost.com)
		They plan to use March 19 and 20, the anniversary weekend of the war's start, as the beginning of an all-out effort to convince the public that the best course for Americans and Iraqis is for the war to end and the troops to come home.
		The Jan. 30 elections in Iraq bolstered support for the war, but Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), a member of the Foreign Relations and intelligence committees, said the elections, while significant, did not change the fact that the war is forcing great sacrifices for the United States and Iraq.
		Win Without War, with members such as the NAACP and the National Council of Churches, is planning to lobby Congress intensively to encourage an examination of the costs of the war.

	The New Yorker: Fact (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The leaders of the State Department, who are more restrained in their planning, accuse the Pentagon civilians of confusing dissent with disloyalty; Pentagon officials, in turn, accuse Secretary of State Colin Powell and his deputy, Richard Armitage, of a loss of nerve.
		Chalabi and his allies have, in recent months, endorsed what amounts to a public-relations campaign against Khazraji, alleging that he was involved in a war crime—the 1988 Iraqi gassing of a Kurdish town, a claim Khazraji denies—and suggesting that he may be a double agent.
		Iraq is a proud country that has been humiliated, and it's madness to think that these people, while hating Saddam, are in love with the United States.

		An immoral and unjust war on Iraq is no less one because the Security Council caves in to pressure from the U.S. Afghan prisoners beaten to death at US military interrogation base

	Jeffrey St. Clair: War Pimps
		It was a propaganda war, a war of perception management, where loaded phrases, such as "weapons of mass destruction" and "rogue state," were hurled like precision weapons at the target audience: us.
		Tens of millions in federal money were poured into private public relations and media firms working to craft and broadcast the Bush dictat that Saddam had to be taken out before the Iraqi dictator blew up the world by dropping chemical and nuclear bombs from long-range drones.
		Rendon was also deeply involved in the planning and public relations for the pre-emptive war on Iraq, though both Rendon and the Pentagon refuse to disclose the details of the group's work there.

		Council on Foreign Relations, December 2002 - Les Gelb, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations, says that he is surprised by the degree of opposition in the United States to an invasion of Iraq.
		To get the public on its side, Gelb said it was imperative for the Bush administration to provide "a smoking gun" - conclusive evidence - that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction.
		One day he seemed to say the South Koreans shouldn't follow the U.S. blindly into war against the North; the next day he said he was misunderstood.

	village voice > news > The Widening Crusade by Sydney H. Schanberg
		The public relations deluge by Bush, Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld seemed to be aimed at denying any policy fumbles and insisting that the liberal press was ignoring the positive developments in Iraq.
		Apparently for the neoconservative civilians who are running the Iraq campaign, 9-11 was that catalyzing event—for they are now operating at full speed toward multiple, simultaneous wars.
		This was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia and Sudan.

	Duct Tape For Peace: Stop the fervent pursuit of war on Iraq.
		While the rifts within the administration deepen over a failing war plan, Powell and Rumsfeld lay the groundwork for the next phase of their new "National Security Strategy".
		My guesses are: Bad (since 50% of the population of Iraq is under the age of fifteen), Iran (the other non-nuclear, and most importantly, Muslim nation in Bush's axis-of-evil trio) and soon (since President Bush will privately blame Powell for the failed diplomacy attempt and Powell is privately livid over Bush's stance).
		The American interests in a war with Iraq may not be immediately clear, but it is abundantly clear that some Americans have interests.

		In a desperate play to escape lifetime exile in New Jersey, the Jets are huddling with the city to hammer out plans to build a new stadium over the remains of a massive fountain from the 1964 World’s Fair.
		The six-acre Fountain of the Planets, which once exploded in glorious pyrotechnic displays, is now a murky pool littered with plastic bottles and trash.
		With the West Side stadium plan dead, and a deal for a shared stadium with the Giants at New Jersey’s Meadowlands weeks away, team sources say the fountain site probably is the last, best hope to put the New York back in New York Jets.
