THE IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SAYS:
"Saddam must be disarmed."
TRUTH IS:
1. That was the reason for the weapons inspections process which has not finished.
2. There is STILL no evidence whatsoever of WMD in Iraq.
3. War is NOT the only available option.
THE IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SAYS:
"We must not go back on what we all agreed in Resolution 1441."
TRUTH IS:
1. 1441 created the current weapons inspections process which has not yet finished.
2. US and the UK are abandoning 1441 without the support of the other UN members.
3. Security Council agreement to UN Resolution 1441 was unanimous.
4. War is NOT the only available option.
THE IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SAYS:
"We gave diplomacy a chance but it failed."
TRUTH IS:
1. The international team of UN weapons experts said their work could be completed in "months".
2. The US government has planned to invade Iraq to liberate the oil since April 2001.
3. The war is timed to prevent the successful peaceful disarmament of Iraq.
4. War is NOT the only available option.
THE IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SAYS:
"Saddam is an evil dictator who must be removed."
TRUTH IS:
1. Good rhetoric but they claimed the objective was disarmament, not regime change.
2. Iraq is not the world's only bad regime, or the worst, so why Iraq?
3. War is NOT the only available option.
THE IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SAYS:
"War is in the national interest to defend us from terrorism."
TRUTH IS:
1. They tried to find a link between Iraq but al-Qaeda and failed.
2. This does not address the causes of terrorism or punish the terrorists in any way.
3. This is a massive attack against an Arab and predominantly Muslim country without UN approval.
4. Will this war increase or decrease anger and fundamentalism? Go figure.
5. War is NOT the only available option.
THE IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SAYS:
"The Iraqi people want to be liberated, it is for their own good."
TRUTH IS:
1. Good rhetoric but they claimed the objective was disarmament not liberation.
2. This is ridiculous, the people of Iraq do NOT want their cities to be bombed.
3. War is NOT the only available option.
THE IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SAYS:
"The threat of force must be backed by the will to use it."
TRUTH IS:
1. THREAT turned into USE before the UN finished their mission to disarm Iraq.
2. The threat of force is meaningless if actual force is used instead.
3. War is NOT the only available option.
THE IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SAYS:
"Iraq only complied because we sent in the army."
TRUTH IS:
1. If a credible threat of force produced new results, why did they abandon the process?
2. The UN experts in Iraq reported "substantial" disarmament.
3. War is NOT the only available option.
THE IDIOT PRESIDENT OF THE USA SAYS:
"Iraq must not be allowed to develop weapons of mass destruction."
TRUTH IS:
1. That is why the UN Security Council deployed UNMOVIC and IAEA inspectors in Iraq.
2. Saddam Hussein is not the world's only dangerous dictatorship wanting WMD, so why Iraq?
3. We're still waiting for evidence that the weapons programme which ended 12 years ago was restarted.
3. War is NOT the only available option.
Please distribute the truth as widely as possible.
