Kurt Nimmo<\/strong> Time Magazine<\/a> is calling for Obama to use Clinton\u2019s illegal 1998 Operation Desert Fox bombing campagin<\/a> as a template when he bombs Syria, possibly tomorrow. Clinton\u2019s foray into organized mass murder \u2014 designed in part to distract from his dalliance with Monica Lewinsky \u2014 lasted four days and killed hundreds of Iraqis<\/a>. According to the United States, a barrage of cruise missiles were fired into Iraq to \u201cdegrade\u201d Saddam Hussein\u2019s ability to produce weapons of mass destruction, weapons sold to him by the United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hans Blix: western media pushing war agenda ahead of Syria attack.<\/small><\/p>\n Time says the \u201ctrigger\u201d for the coming bombing of Syria will be its weapons of mass destruction and \u201cuse of chemical weapons in suburbs of the Syrian capital that killed hundreds of civilians,\u201d an \u201cindiscriminate\u201d attack the United States and its corporate propaganda machine say al-Assad maliciously conducted despite the fact there is absolutely no evidence he did anything of the sort.<\/p>\n Time insists the attack will be \u201crooted in weapons of mass destruction\u201d and will target Syria\u2019s military infrastructure. \u201cIt\u2019ll probably be aimed at Syria\u2019s command-and-control systems, the forces who might have been involved in using it, and maybe expanded to include higher headquarters that would have coordinated the operations,\u201d Jeffrey White, a former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst now with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told Time.<\/p>\n The corporate war propaganda media invariably trots out neocons and other professional warmongers when it peddles excuses for mass murder under the threadbare banner of subjective and politically expedient humanitarianism. The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, WINEP for short, is a \u201cthink tank\u201d linked to the Ameircan Israel Public Affairs Committee<\/a>, and its \u201cscholars\u201d are interchangeable with those over at the American Enterprise Institute and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, neocon operations responsible for pushing the invasion of Iraq (death toll: approximately 1.5 million).<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a lot easier to declare \u2018mission accomplished\u2019 when your objective is to blow up command posts, weapons depots and runways, instead of hunting down and destroying weapons of mass destruction, which can be elusive,\u201d Time reports.<\/p>\n In fact, so elusive were Iraq\u2019s WMDs, they were never found. George W. Bush, amply demonstrating the personality quirks of a psychopath, went so far as to contrive a stand-up comedy routine<\/a> after it was conclusively demonstrated Iraq did not have WMDs. Bush and his cronies knew this<\/a>.<\/p>\n Following Clinton\u2019s bombing the war media told us the Pentagon went out of its way to spare innocent civilians. \u201cWhile numerous Ba\u2019ath security, intelligence, and military targets were destroyed, power and telephone systems were spared,\u201d Michael Knights<\/a> writes for the Washington Institute.<\/p>\n Clinton avoided bombing \u201cdual-use infrastructure\u201d because his predecessor had taken it out a few years before and punitive and medieval sanctions \u2014 ultimately claiming the lives of more than 500,000 Iraqi children \u2014 made sure Iraq never recovered.<\/p>\n \u201cBombing of Iraqi cities served no military purpose but was designed to destroy the civilian infrastructure,\u201d David Model<\/a> wrote in 2005. \u201cWar games in July 1990 in South Carolina trained pilots to bomb civilian targets and Pentagon statements about plans to bomb civilian targets in August and September 1990 are evidence that these targets were set well in advance of January 15, 1991.<\/p>\n Critical elements of the civilian infrastructure were destroyed including communication systems, oil refineries, electric generators, water treatment facilities, dams, and transportation centers. Over 90 percent of Iraq\u2019s electrical capacity was destroyed in the first days of the bombing.<\/p>\n One of the most diabolical decisions in the campaign was to destroy Iraq\u2019s water supply, resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children long after the war was over. The capacity of Iraq to produce food was severely limited by the attacks on agriculture, food processing, food storage and the food distribution system. Half of Iraq\u2019s agricultural output depended on irrigation systems which were also targeted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Syria will be similarly targeted, but you won\u2019t hear about it in the war propaganda media.<\/p>\n Time concludes:<\/p>\n There will be claims from Syria of innocent civilians killed (Desert Fox killed up to 2,000 Iraqis) and complaints from Syrian allies Iran and Russia that the strikes violated international law, predicts Anthony Cordesman, a military scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. \u201cBut, at the end of it,\u201d he says, \u201cthey probably won\u2019t use chemical weapons again.\u201d<\/p>\n That may be the good news, relatively speaking. The bad news is that there\u2019s no idea of what comes next for Syria, already torn apart by a 30-month civil war that has killed an estimated 100,000 people, after the all-but-certain U.S. attack.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Time does not put the 100,000 figure in context \u2014 if indeed accurate, and we have no way to verify the number for certain, it is largely the result of a civil war fomented by the United States and the CIA with their dual-use al-Qaeda mercenaries. It is an engineered civil war designed to take out the government of Bashar al-Assad and usher in a generation or more of failed state chaos in Syria.<\/p>\n \u201cThe conditions in Iraq ten years after the invasion do not look bright,\u201d writes Fatih Abdulsalam<\/a>. \u201cThere are more signs of division rather than unity, more signs of separation rather than coming together in regard to almost everything in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n Following Obama\u2019s attack, and subsequent attacks after the first one will undoubtedly prove insufficient, Syria\u2019s future will also not look bright.<\/p>\n Once again, weapons of mass destruction serve as a pretext for a different agenda \u2014 the destruction of Syria and its removal as a geopolitical player in the region, an area increasingly dominated by the United States and its regional surrogate, Israel.<\/p>\n
