IRAQ: REASON FOR WAR

War without End: Gen. Franks Says Threat on Israel Justified Iraq Invasion

We have Dick Cheney telling Ariel Sharon in March of 2002 that the US will Invade Iraq to protect Israel. This is according to Ariel Sharon, as he stated on Israeli radio.

We have General Zinni, Senator Hollingsworth and Patrick Buchanan saying the same thing.

We have Richard Clarke pointing, though carefully skirting complete implication, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict being the key issue to terrorism.

We have retired Brigadier General David writing a letter to the editor in Atlanta this past winter saying this.

We have Chalabi removed once he reneges on his promise to the neocons to complete a pipeline from Iraq to Haifa in order to supply Israel with a never ending stream of cheap oil.

We have Condi Rice stating on national television six weeks before 9/11 that Saddam Hussein is not a threat nuclear or otherwise and he is effectively contained. What changed in six weeks?

We have the PNAC report, created by a military think tank for Israel in the US outlining all of this, including a "second Pearl Harbor" like event.

And now we have General Tommy Franks stating Israel was to be protected and this justified our breaking international law.
