As portrayed by U.S. administration one of the justifications and the greatest achievement in the war in Iraq was the “capture” of the Tyrant - Saddam Hussein. People who value democracy freedom, justice and human rights rejoice with the downfall of any regime, that rules by manipulation of fear. But the initial “justification” of the U.S. for Iraq war, was not “change of Saddam's regime”, Saddam's regime found its nourishment in the lavish and friendly relationship it enjoyed with the U.S. for a long time until the Gulf war. The initial justification was Saddam's “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. This justification, as soon the whole world found out, turned out be the mother of all deceptions, well planned and completely fabricated by the U.S. This must be the most widely orchestrated and as most strongly reinforced deception that the world has ever known.
Whether the real justification was WMD or regime change, this war, according to Donald Rumsfeld was supposed to be a “Cake Walk”. Explaining why his “Cake Walk” has taken so long and is still continuing, Rumsfeld answered “we now know we don't know” (no he was not quoting lyrics from a rap song). In the same tone, may we say the WMD was “the unjust justification to justify the unjustifiable”.
The Tyrant of the Middle East - Saddam Hussein, did not become a tyrant overnight. Saddam had decades long close relationship with successive U.S. administrations from John. F. Kennedy to George H. Bush. Top level CIA delegations paid frequent friendly visits to see him, shared intelligence with him, assisted, nurtured and supplied him with the ingredients to make chemical and biological weapons, and when he used chemical weapons the U.S. turned a blind eye, did not take action at the UN Security council or anywhere as Saddam was “our kind of a guy” then. U.S. administrations of Reagan, George H. Bush provided him with the tools, the means, the money, encouragements, praises and pats on his back which contributed to the process of turning him into the tyrant that we know.
While the spin doctors and the political pandits in the White House avoid admission of the U.S. responsibility in the making of the Tyrant over the past decades, it is important to provide the facts and records from the recent past to prove this was really the case. These are the criminal facts and records that the U.S. administration would like to hide with one deception after the other.
