WAR TO START IN LAST WEEK OF FEBRUARY
I got this in an email.
WAR TO START IN LAST WEEK OF FEBRUARY
President Bush has ear marked the start of the war with Iraq for the last week in February.
Midnight on the 21st of the month has been fed into strike force computers as the launch of the most powerful air attack the world has known. Bush revealed the details to Ariel Sharon, Israel’s prime minister, in a
telephone call over Christmas. Sharon has already hinted he knows the date but insists he is sworn to
secrecy. But his military commanders have been briefed on the role Israel’s forces will play.
In the last Gulf War, Washington persuaded Israel to remain out of the conflict – because their involvement would wreck the fragile coalition America had built with Arab nations. But Sharon has insisted that this time Israel must have a part in ending the threat Saddam poses to the Jewish state. Israel’s role will be to launch round the clock air attacks to destroy Saudi
missiles roaming in the Iraqi deserts only minutes flying time from Tel Aviv. Israeli fighter aircraft will also be on hard stand readiness to shoot down any Iraqi planes that try to seek refuge in Syria. In the last Gulf War, Saddam’s planes fled to Iran – where they have
remained. Israel’s airfields are already acting as an air bridge for American forces – bringing in men and supplies for the ground assault that will follow the
initial February bombardment.

As for Israel not participating in the last war, O please, puny little Israel with the Napoleon-sized ego would generally rather have the US fight it's war for it! It's all fun and games for the assholes in power. I hope they all get assassinated.
You heard it here first.
Every underfunded school; every person who lacks sufficient medical care; every person who is not able to obtain a college education; every unemployed and underemployed person; every homeless or poorly housed person; every underfunded cultural institution and every town that lacks adequate, affordable public transportation for all are all daily victims of the war machine as we cannot have both guns and butter. The war is the daily destruction of civil society and the increase of fascism at home.
As to Iraq, the US has been bombing Iraq at least on a weekly basis since 1991. It is at this moment being escalated on a daily basis. It is the entire war machine that must be stopped, permanently. That means both an end to the war machine and end to the fascist prison machine at home. Only then will peace prevail.
