US intelligence failed to prove case against Iraq
The intelligence provided by the US and UK governments did not lead the UN weapons inspectors to any Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. American and British politicians are therefore unable to justify their plans for a military conquest of Iraq.
This news was revealed last week in a report by Charles J. Hanley, Special Correspondent for the Associated Press news agency.
"BAGHDAD, Iraq - In almost two months of surprise
visits across Iraq, U.N. arms monitors have inspected
13 sites identified by U.S. and British intelligence agencies
as major "facilities of concern," and reported no signs of
revived weapons building, an Associated Press analysis
shows."
Although the US and UK governments have failed to prove their case, the level of war-time propaganda in the mass media, and the scale of the military build-up in the Middle East and demonstrate that the war against Iraq is certain to proceed within weeks.
