US bombing, not IRAQ, responsible for the VOLUNTARY removal of weapons inspect.
07-08-2002 17:28
worth keeping in mind that the 'expulsion of the weapons inspectors' story is entirely a lie, and even contradicts the American media's original story about it!Actually, it was CLINTON'S THREAT to bomb Iraq, that led the weapons inspection team to get the hell out of there! Ever feel you were being manipulated into a war, well perhaps you live in the international United States media bubble, so expect it!!! So to pop the bubble and read on. Send this to MPs to make them aware of American duplicity!
