GENERAL ADMITS TO SECRET AIR WAR
Michael Smith
THE American general who commanded allied air forces during the Iraq war appears to have admitted in a briefing to American and British officers that coalition aircraft waged a secret air war against Iraq from the middle of 2002, nine months before the invasion began.
Addressing a briefing on lessons learnt from the Iraq war Lieutenant-General Michael Moseley said that in 2002 and early 2003 allied aircraft flew 21,736 sorties, dropping more than 600 bombs on 391 “carefully selected targets” before the war officially started.
The nine months of allied raids “laid the foundations” for the allied victory, Moseley said. They ensured that allied forces did not have to start the war with a protracted bombardment of Iraqi positions.
If those raids exceeded the need to maintain security in the no-fly zones of southern and northern Iraq, they would leave President George W Bush and Tony Blair vulnerable to allegations that they had acted illegally.
President Lying Sack of Shit (aka George W. Bush) and his Vice Sack-in-Chief (Cheney) were telling the nation no plans had been made for Iraq.
You yellow bellied liberals had better stop sympathizing with the terrorists and get on the bus. Just like you should have done with Vietnam! If it wasn't for you liberals..Johnson could have made that summabitch work.
