- Israeli military sources claim that Iraq is to be
attacked
in May.
The Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot quotes Israeli military sources as
claiming that the United States of America is planning to attack Iraq in
May. These sources claim that the Pentagon has been given the go-ahead
to draw up attack plans in the second phase of the war against
terrorism.
-
- It is further stated that contact is being made with
opposition forces inside and outside Iraq, with a view to setting up a
new government after Saddam Hussein and his regime is overthrown.
-
- Binyamin Eliezer, the Israeli Defence Minister, intends
to request the USA to co-ordinate their attack with Israel, during his
visit to the USA this week. Eliezer declared that this time the USA will
not ask Israel to show restraint if there are any attacks on this country
by Iraq.
-
- There have been repeated rumours that an attack on Iraq
is imminent, and the State of the Union speech by George Bush last week,
calling this country a member of an "axis of evil", did nothing
to dispel the suspicion.
-
- One thing is a war against terrorism. Another is
interfering
in the internal affairs of sovereign nations. The dividing line is
extremely
fine. The stupidity of Osama Bin Laden made it possible for the USA to
go globe-trotting, removing regimes which it deems hostile and replacing
them with sycophants, all in the name of a war against terrorism.
-
- This war is legitimised by two countries, the USA and
the UK, with the rest of the world looking passively on. Such a situation
has even brought the wrath of the NATO Secretary-General, Lord Robertson,
who claims that "even super-powers need allies and coalitions to
supply
bases, fuel, air space and forces".
