Bushes 'sixteen words'. A ring of truth in a cunning ruse?

Iraq had been on the US hit list since long before 9/11. A friendly Iraq, or a destabalised Iraq was key to the 'Project for a new American century's' middle east strategy. There was never any connection between Saddam and the 9/11 hijackers yet this brazen attack on the United States gave the government to sell the need to act. As early as the day after the attacks Bush and close allies were angling to get in and finish what Bush Snr had been unable or unwilling to.

It took a couple of years but eventually the administration had had enough of waiting and a reason was invented






In hindsight, it has been all but confirmed that the intelligence in question was a forgery, now known as the 'Niger uranium forgeries'.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

Bush attributed the intelligence to the Brits though in reality they documents were of CIA origin and leaked by the CIA to the European media and intelligence services. Wikipedia (un-citedly) claims the document first appeared in 2001 but a quick search for 'Iraq: Nuclear Related Procurement Efforts'(the name of the leaked document) turns up a result from 1989, [link to 216.12.139.91] Whatever year this document first appeared in, I'm not sure but it was of American origin and was leaked by the CIA, who knew the European reaction would make it's way back to the US, allowing them to justify attacking Iraq. So far, so sketchy.

In Britain, the 'source' of the documents proving, and overstating Saddam's nuclear intentions the validity of the documents was almost instantly called into question, especially the '45 minute' claim, attributed by a BBC correspondent to Dr David Kelly, the governments top weapons expert. An inquiry was called into the 'sexxing up' of the documents and Dr Kelly was due to give evidence. Dr Kelly never made it. The official line is that he committed suicide. This is bullshit. Dr Kelly's body had been moved from where he died, his fingerprints were not found on the blade he apparently slit his left wrist with and the police officer who found his body has changed his story numerous times.

Why was Dr Kelly offed? The gears war already in motion and there was no stopping the Iraq war. Kelly's statement at the Hutton inquiry wouldn't have changed that. So what else did he know?

Dr Kelly had been part of a small team on a special assignment to South Africa in 1989. By this time the government of South Africa knew apartheid was coming to an end and Madella's release was already on the cards and it was clear what way it was going to go once he was out. Unknown to many, South Africa had been, with Israli assistance, developing it's own nuclear program which western governments didn't want falling into unknown hands in post apartheid South Africa. A plan was hatched to remove all the completed devices (apparently totaling 9, one having been detonated). The British government of the day (Thatcher) saw this as an opportunity. They used tax payer money to purchase the weapons from the South Africa government with Mark Thatcher(attempted coup) and international arms dealer John Bredenkamp acting as brokers. Being Thatcher, this deal wasn't done for nothing and actually netted £17.8 million for the Tories 1992 election fund. This sum is on record and can be seen in parliament records RE the tory fund raising. Their total election fund was 20.6 million but only 2.8 million was accounted for. Thatcher also signed an Urgent Operational Requirement for 'three cylinders'. The weapons were put in shipping containers and shipped to Oman where they were checked of by Dr Kelly with David Cameron along for the ride. This is the last that was seen of the weapons as they were stolen back (probably by Bredenkamp) and sold on the black market with one of them going to North Korea where it was reverse engineered, giving them a model to work from then the original detonated in 2009. The other two are thought to have been bought by Saddam.

So, looking back at the Iraq war with all this in mind the reasons for war start to make a bit more sense. For Bush, Saddam had been a marked man since putting out a hit on Bush Snr. Blair had been paid of to keep his silence about the missing nukes, apparently to the tune of £1,000,000 so he agreed to provide the 'evidence' that the US had been seeking, he saw it as a way of tying up loose ends.

I'm going to stop here for now as this is becoming a hell of a wall-of-text and this is the second time I've typed it up as FF crashed on me as I was just about to hit post before. I'm sure there are some bits I've missed and will add them below as they come to me. My next post will be sources for the claims above and related videos and newspaper articles, as well as information of the other people offed to keep this hidden.

If there are any parts yous would like cited first let me know, though I may take a few minutes cause I lost all my open tabs when FF crashed.
