Iraqi Civilian Deaths ... caused by Bush's unprovoked war

 

Undercover war begins as US forces enter Iraq - smh.com.au
(John Donnelly and Tom Allard, smh.com, January 6, 2003)
About 100 United States special forces personnel and more than 50 CIA officers have been inside Iraq for at least four months, looking for missile-launchers, monitoring oil fields, marking minefields and helping their pilots target air-defence systems. . . . This is despite the Bush Administration agreeing to the schedule of United Nations weapons inspections. . . . The action by US and British special forces in Iraq breaches international law because it is not sanctioned by the UN. . . . War preparations have been in full swing for months. The Pentagon says 60,000 troops are in the Gulf region, and that number could double in coming weeks. . . . We're bombing practically every day as we patrol the no-fly zones, taking out air defence batteries, and there are all kinds of CIA and special forces operations going on," said Timur Eads, a former US special operations officer. "I would call it the beginning of a war." . . . "Certainly, the Arab world and the Islamic world would see it as being inconsistent with the weapons inspections, as well as an infringement on Iraq's sovereignty."
