Another source confirming what I had said about Iraq

The Truth About The War in Iraq

Thanks to the failure of the "mainstream media" to report the facts, most Americans still don't know the truth about the behind-the-scenes in trigue by the Bush administration that helped prompt Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein to invade neighboring Kuwait in August 1990.

The American media spent months demonizing Saddam in the six months leading up to the much-touted "Operation Desert Storm" launched by President George Bush against Iraq during the Persian Gulf War. But the media never told Americans how the then-U.S. ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, had actually given Saddam the Bush administration's effective blessing for an assault on Kuwait. It remains the biggest secret about the war that remains largely un known to this day.

The facts surrounding this international scandal were first publicly outlined by SPOTLIGHT diplomatic correspondent Andrew St. George when he spoke on Sept. 3, 1990, before a gathering of the Board of Policy of Liberty Lobby, the populist Institution that publishes The SPOTLIGHT.

St. George, a veteran international journalist, was addressing a forum on the topic of how the media suppresses major news stories of vital interest.

The SPOTLIGHT reported the basic facts about St. George's discoveries (gleaned from diplomatic sources at the United Nations) in a front page story entitled "Saddam was Bush-wacked on Invasion: Got green light for Kuwait grab" on Oct. 8, 1990. The SPOTLIGHT story reported:

The State Department has not challenged a transcript released by Iraq of a conversation between Glaspie and Saddam on July 25 in which she is said to have told the Iraqi leader that President George Bush desired better relations between the two countries and that the United States had no position concerning Iraq's border dispute with Kuwait.

Congressional testimony delivered by Assistant Secretary of State John Kelly on July 31, 1990, just two days before the Iraqi invasion gave further encouragement to the Iraqi leader. When asked by Rep. Lee Hamilton (D-Ind.) if the United States would come to Kuwait's defense if it were attacked, Kelly replied: "We have no defense treaty relationship with any [Persian] Gulf country."

Secretary of State James Baker refused to be drawn into an argument over whether Glaspie's statements were appropriate. Baker said he would not deny the tolerant and friendly preinvasion U.S. policy toward Iraq.

The Bush administration-backed up by well-paid propagandists for the ruling family of Kuwait and buoyed by the Israeli lobby which enthusiastically supported the war against Saddam-did all in its power to suppress The SPOT LIGHT's eye-opening story, which cast a different light on the president's suggestion that Saddam was "another Hitler."

However, The SPOTLIGHT's story was cited by the prestigious Project Censored (based at Sonoma State University in California), as being number one among the "top 10" vitally important news stories of 1990 that were, in the words of Project Censored, either "overlooked or underreported by the national news media."

On Feb. 25, 1991, a Public Broad cast ing Service (PBS) special, Moyers-Project Censored, hosted by Bill Moyers, the well-known "mainstream" journalist and former White House press secretary under Lyndon Johnson, featured and cited The SPOTLIGHT's scoop on the Bush administration's secret policy which -either by accident or by design (most likely the latter)-set the stage for the war. Citing The SPOTLIGHT's accurate and fearless reportage, Project Censored said that:

Traditional press skepticism was the first casualty in the days immediately following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. The media, concerned about appearing to be unpatriotic, fell into the unseemly role of Pentagon cheerleaders for the administration. Even the De fense Department spokesman, Pete Williams, admitted that "the reporting has been largely a re citation of what administration people have said."

Shortly after the national PBS broadcast, in its issue No. 14 for 1991 (April 8), The SPOTLIGHT reported that its scoop on the Gulf War had essentially been confirmed.

Although Glaspie had virtually disappeared from public view for months in the wake of her "green light" to the Iraqi leader, the administration trotted Glaspie before the Senate following the conclusion of the war in order to formally deny that she had given Saddam the go-ahead to launch the war.

The Iraqi government had released a transcription of Glaspie's conversation with the Iraqi leader, quoting Glaspie as saying: "We have no opinion on Arab-Arab disputes like your conflict on Kuwait."

Glaspie's own internal memo to the State Department, reporting on the meeting with Saddam, confirmed the accuracy of the Iraqi transcript, despite her later claim that the Iraqis had misleadingly "edited" it.

Appearing before the Senate Foreign Re lations Committee nearly seven months later, Glaspie formally dismissed the Iraqi version of her discussion as "disinformation" and a "fabrication."

Yet, even pro-Israel columnist William Safire was moved to comment, in writing, that Glaspie's explanation was, in his words, "a transparent lie."

In her testimony to the Senate, Glaspie revealed that she had actually had no contact with Saddam during the entire two-year period she served as ambassador to Iraq except for this one occasion just prior to his invasion of Kuwait. In fact, she said, the active and meaningful relationships between the U.S. and Iraq had been conducted through other channels.

What this meant, in actual terms, as The SPOTLIGHT pointed out, was that the Iraqi leader had, in fact, conducted his diplomacy through international business interests close to the Bush administration.

Notable among Saddam's "diplomatic" contacts was global banking czar David Rockefeller, who actually met with Saddam on at least three known occasions after Rockefeller's Chase Manhattan Bank had become the lead banker for Iraq in extending credits to the financially troubled regime.

Although Saddam had wanted U.S. assistance in the form of short-term loans, the United States refused, forcing Saddam into the unwanted position of being forced to turn to private money lenders in order to resolve his nation's financial crisis.

Thus, when Saddam had found himself entangled with the international banking interests (against his own better judgment), the Iraqi leader believed that he had done essentially as the Bush administration wanted and that his move against Kuwait would not be dealt with in the manner it was.

During the months leading up to the Gulf War, The SPOTLIGHT brought its readers factual news and information that was reported in no other media. On Aug. 30, 1993, The SPOTLIGHT reported the explosive allegation that the Kuwaiti royal family arranged for massive bribes for Bush, his family and close associates in the United States and around the globe for marshaling the alliance against Saddam during the conflict. On March 28, 1994-and in subsequent issues-The SPOTLIGHT brought further reports about this Bush-league scandal.

The SPOTLIGHT warned the war was not in U.S. interests and would set the stage for further needless U.S. intervention abroad. In fact, it was in the lead-up to the war that Bush publicly mouthed the phrase "new world order" as a justification for the action against Iraq, describing a policy of meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations as the means by which a global government in waiting could be brought into being.

Liar, Liar

Clinton 'appalled' by '96 illegal donations
By Andrew Cain
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

President Clinton yesterday called Vice President Al Gore "a good messenger" on campaign finance reform and said he was "as appalled as the next person" to learn his campaign accepted illegal foreign donations in 1996.

"I was outraged when I found out that the system for checking the backgrounds of contributors and things like that had been dismantled without my knowledge or approval," Mr. Clinton said at his second news conference of the year.

"We didn't need it to win. It was wrong," Mr. Clinton said.

Mr. Clinton also defended his administration's handling of subpoenaed White House e-mail, including messages from Monica Lewinsky to grand jury witnesses.

"I believe that it is accurate to say that we had turned over everything that had been found" to a federal grand jury and three congressional committees, Mr. Clinton told reporters during an hourlong news conference in the East Room.

"And from what I understand, some things were not found because they were in a different system. And so now we're working out how to cooperate with the Congress," he said. "I'm confident that whatever's the right thing to do, we'll do."

Mr. Clinton, after a lengthy flight back from India, sought to re-energize his stalled domestic agenda with 10 months left in his presidency.

The president fielded questions from 22 reporters. He addressed topics that ranged from White House scandals to police shootings in New York; from China's trade status to the role of his daughter Chelsea; from OPEC oil to the Oscar-winning film "American Beauty."

Mr. Gore is under fire for attending a Buddhist temple fund-raiser and for raising cash from the White House. The vice president announced his own campaign finance proposal earlier this week, conceding he may be an "imperfect messenger" for the cause.

Mr. Clinton embraced the vice president's plan for a $7.1 billion "democracy endowment" to fund House and Senate campaigns.

"I thought it was good idea," Mr. Clinton told reporters. "I kind of wish I'd thought of it myself."

The endowment, to be funded through tax-free contributions, makes sense because "it costs so much money to communicate with people over the mass media," Mr. Clinton said.

The president defended his handling of illegal fund raising in the 1996 Clinton-Gore re-election campaign.

He noted that Mr. Gore supports the McCain-Feingold bill that would prohibit unregulated "soft money" contributions.

"So I think he's a good messenger," Mr. Clinton said. "You know, I think he was showing a little humility, and I think that's always a good thing."

The president, boosting his dormant domestic agenda, asked Congress to pass a bill that would "close the gun-show loophole," require child safety locks for all handguns and ban importation of large ammunition clips by April 20, the first anniversary of the Columbine High School shootings in Colorado.

"Again, for the sake of our children, I ask Congress to stop the delay," Mr. Clinton said.

Later, the president defended the film "American Beauty," which won the Oscar for best picture, from a question that cited it as part of the culture of violence that he cited last year after Columbine. Mr. Clinton said the film's bloody conclusion did not glorify violence.

"I thought it was an astonishing movie, actually. And I certainly don't think anyone who watched it and understood it would think of it as glorifying violence," he said.

Mr. Clinton asked Congress to pass a raft of languishing legislation: Medicare reform with a prescription-drug benefit, a patients bill of rights, an increase in the minimum wage and permanent normal trade relations with China.

But the president seemed reluctant to weigh in on a hot issue in New York, where first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton is running for the U.S. Senate: police fatally shooting three unarmed black men in the past 13 months.

"The focus ought to be everywhere on having the right kind of training" and "the right kind of policy direction" to bring down crime while improving police-community relations, Mr. Clinton said.

The Clintons' daughter, Chelsea, accompanied him on his trip to Southeast Asia while Mrs. Clinton campaigned in New York. The president said he hopes his daughter, a junior at Stanford University, can join him on additional foreign trips before his presidency ends.

"I think she's like Hillary and me. All three of us . . . want to savor the weeks and months we have ahead in this, our last year," Mr. Clinton said.

"I think she was kind of taken aback by the attention she got in India, in particular," Mr. Clinton added.

On foreign policy, Mr. Clinton said he did not envision a deployment of American advisers, monitors or troops on the Golan Heights to secure an Israeli-Syrian peace accord.

"They both need to come up with some ideas and start talking," Mr. Clinton said.

The president does not regret his praise of Chinese President Jiang Zemin. Mr. Clinton called Mr. Jiang a visionary two years ago during a news conference in Hong Kong. China since has accelerated its belligerence against Taiwan without improving its human rights record.

"Given the alternatives of who could have been the president of China, that I'm aware of, and who could have been the premier, I think that President Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji are the best team that could have been in their positions at that time," Mr. Clinton said.

He declined to weigh in on a delicate bit of diplomacy - a public disagreement between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his pregnant wife, Cherie. Mrs. Blair wants her husband to take parental leave when the child is born.

"I would like to have been a fly on the wall when they first talked about that after it appeared in public," Mr. Clinton said. "But, you know, I feel very close to both Tony and Cherie. I don't want to get in the middle of that.
