On
Sunday June 7th, 1981 Inman received word that Israel,
using U.S. supplied warplanes had just bombed and
destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactor about ten miles outside
Baghdad. He checked and found that under the
intelligence sharing arrangement set up with (CIA
Director William) Casey's approval, Israel has almost
unlimited access to U.S. satellite photography and had
used it in planning their raid...The (Reagan)
administration was walking a tightrope in the
Arab-Israeli dispute but Inman didn't see how the United
States could maintain any balanced policy if Israel was
permitted to drop bombs all over the Middle East using
American intelligence.

With
the Bush administration's doctrine of preemptive strikes against
nations he thinks "may" have weapons or technology
that "could" pose a threat to this nation and Bush's
determination to oust Saddam Hussein regardless what the rest of
the world thinks, AmeriKKKa is becoming more and more like
Israel.
Israel
is a sovereign nation that does anything it pleases in effect
saying, "the hell with what the rest of the world
thinks". In 1981 Israel launched a preemptive surprise
attack against Iraq's nuclear reactor in Osirak about ten miles
outside the Iraqi capital of Baghdad using AmeriKKKan-made F15
and F16 planes. Most available intelligence indicates the Iraqi
reactor was still in the construction stage being built with
French and Italian assistance. Israel justified the sneak attack
in which U.S. satellite photos were used claiming they did it
for national security reasons despite the fact Saddam Hussein
had no history of directly attacking Israel (although he did
supply forces during the numerous Arab-Israeli conflicts).
Following the attack the U.N. Security Council denounced Israel
for its actions. The U.S. nominally at least, also condemned
Israel for its aggression. The Bush administration like all of
its predecessors is unabashedly pro-Israel. Could it be the
Zionists in the Bush inner circle have persuaded Junior to take
a page out of their book by preemptively attacking Iraq and
thumbing their noses at the rest of the world?
Given
Bush's failure to even remotely link Saddam Hussein to 9-11
and/or international terrorism and few if any weapons of mass
destruction have been found during the UN sanctioned inspections
in Iraq, why rush to war? Why is Saddam Hussein depicted as
Hitler incarnate while Israeli leaders who blatantly invade
their neighbors, routinely lob missiles and bombs and brazenly
occupy Palestinian territories are given a free pass? Given the
widening gulf between traditional NATO allies AmeriKKKa, Britain
and France, Germany, and with former ideological adversaries
Russia and China siding with France and Germany aggressively
opposing AmeriKKKa's rush to war in Iraq, a logical question
might be; what's the hurry?
Who else besides AmeriKKKan oil
drilling, pumping, construction and defense contractors benefit
from war and regime change in Iraq? Why is Bush so willing to
raise the ire of an awakening AmeriKKKan public who are becoming
increasingly cynical and skeptical concerning his motives and
why has he hardened his heart against global opinion that is
demonstrating increasing disapproval for his war plans and the
morally corrupt foreign governments that support him? What in
addition to the Iraqi oil fields will be gotten out of reigning
"shock and awe" type death and destruction on a weak
and essentially defenseless nation? What leader or government
will directly benefit from Bush's war with Iraq?
As
opposition to Bush's war increases, will Africans in AmeriKKKa
educate our community about how the AmeriKKKan ruling elites
move against people of color globally or share how AmeriKKKa's
policies of deceit, divide and conquer are used to keep our
people down while also manipulating white folks who they'll use
as cannon fodder internationally or forces of oppression
domestically to execute programs like COINTELPRO, MK ULTRA and
Operation CHAOS.
These
are interesting times to be alive and be politically conscious
and morally resolute. Bush said, you are either with him (and
his fascist agenda) or you are against him. To oppose global
imperialism does not make you unpatriotic, it make you a lover
of life, freedom, peace, and human possibilities without threat
of annihilation. Think about this, slavery was sanctioned by the
US Constitution, the Indian Removal policies between 1816 and
now resulted in the forced relocation of hundreds of thousands
of Native Americans to concentration camps called Indian
Reservations as the white settlers stole their lands in the name
of progress and "Manifest Destiny." This is the legacy
of the people set to unleash wholesale death and destruction on
Iraq in the name of "peace," "stability,"
and "liberation". Something to seriously think about.
