Executing Saddam (Part I)
by James Buchanan
Most Americans have accepted the incredible amount of hostile propaganda that has been dished out against Saddam Hussein. As a result, they saw the execution of Saddam as inevitable or necessary. Most Americans don’t know that the Jews control the mass media in America and that every news story we hear is designed to brainwash us to hate Israel’s enemies as if they were our own.
Saddam Hussein may have been a tin pot dictator like most Third World leaders, but he.used his oil profits to build infra-structure and schools for the people in Iraq while the average oil sheikdom along the Gulf didn’t spend a penny on ordinary Arabs saving every petro-dollar for their Swiss bank accounts. Hussein also built up the military of Iraq in the face of the massive Israeli military with its arsenal of nuclear weapons. Despite the tremendous superiority of the Israeli military, there was a fantastic paranoia among Israelis about the fact that an Arab nation had built up its military to a size that might withstand an Israeli invasion.
The Zionist solution to this thoroughly insignificant threat was to endlessly demonize Saddam in the American mass media until the American public had their brains thoroughly scrubbed to the point that they would go along with a war, and then another pointless war against a Muslim nation which posed absolutely no threat whatsoever to the United States.
It is true that Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. Prior to that invasion, Saddam Hussein asked American Ambassador April Glaspie if the United States cared whether one Arab nation invaded another. Ms. Glaspie responded “No” effectively giving Saddam a green light to invade the artificial state of Kuwait, which had been slant drilling under the Iraqi border, stealing Iraq’s oil.
This may have been an elaborate trap set up for Saddam Hussein. In the 1980s Iraq had been on very good terms with the US. Many political pundits have stated that the US encouraged Hussein to wage war on Iran during the ’80s in retaliation for Iran overthrowing the CIA’s puppet government and for taking the American embassy hostage for a little over a year. Hussein literally could not imagine the US turning on him. Hussein greatly underestimated the influence of the Israeli Lobby and the incredible duplicity of George Bush Senior, who was more than willing to stab his old friend, Saddam, in the back.
Two wars later, Saddam was sitting in a prison cell guarded by American troops attending a kangaroo court which was going to sentence him to death regardless of what he said. Saddam was charged with killing 144 Shiites in a village, which had rebelled against his government. Curiously, the US government mass murdered 96 of its citizens at Waco, Texas, but the US president who was responsible for that never spent a day in jail, let alone swung from a gallows.
The “Shiite village” incident took place in 1982. The famous picture of Saddam shaking hands with Donald Rumsfeld took place in 1983. Funny how the US didn’t have any misgivings about Saddam or his recent repression of an uprising in the 1980s, but today history has been re-written and a justifiable action by Saddam in 1982 is now an excuse to execute him.
Just before the second Iraq War, the Bush regime was offering Saddam the chance to step down and retire in some comfortable mansion outside of Iraq and just hand the country over to the neocons and Halliburton. Funny how Saddam was not considered a “war criminal” back then, but rather someone whom we could make a “deal” with.
After shining the spotlight on these largely forgotten historical events, it’s clear that executing Saddam was really an act of vengence. The Israelis and Zionists wanted Saddam dead for defying them and posing what they considered a threat. George Bush was overheard saying that Saddam tried to kill his dad. This was almost certainly another significant factor. The dim-witted Dubya probably is sufficiently gullible to believe that a hair dresser and a motley collection of smugglers amounted to an “Iraqi assassination team” as the Kuwaitis claimed. In reality the so-called attempted assassination of Bush Senior when he visited Kuwait was a totally fabricated incident to give the recently elected Bill Clinton an excuse to launch several cruise missiles to try to snuff out Saddam. Clinton was smart enough to know that the “assassination story” was nothing but garbage, but he was also sufficiently amoral to launch the cruise missiles at Saddam anyway. The dim-witted Dubya however still believes this propaganda to this day and almost certainly went to war and allowed Saddam to be executed based on a lie.
