Room 20

War Crimes

A report on United States

War Crimes against Iraq


by Ramsey Clarke and others

Report to the Commission of Inquiry for the
International War Crimes Tribunal
Maisonneuve Press, 1992


Facts are blunt things, easy to cite and substantiate This is a study
based on a factual analysis of unfolding events. But facts area thin
reed when there are great material interests at stake.
The oil-rich Gulf region is the largest concentration of natural wealth
on the planet today. Yet it is a looted region of wrenching poverty.
Facts or defenseless humans seem to matter little in the struggle over
who dominates and controls this essential resource.
Seventy-five years ago in the midst of World War I those who opposed
the war, claiming that it was a struggle to re-divide and carve up the
world markets, had far fewer facts to prove their point. In the heat of
a war that cost 20 million lives, the very charge was treated as treason.

Today, any high school history book will describe World War I

as

a


war


Of horrific and stupid slaughter – a struggle for power amongst the major
Imperialist nations. Fought by murderers – soldiers. And for the benefit of
gangsters.


THE FIRST GULF WAR – THE US CONNED SADDAM HUSSEIN
AND DELIBERATLEY PROVOKED A MURDEROUS WAR CAUSING
THE DEATHS OF THOUSANDS – THIS LEAD TO THE PRESENT
MURDEROUS WAR OF 2007 WHICH HAS KILLED AT LEAST
300,000 MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN IRAQ


NOW IN 2007 PEOPLE DIE EVERY DAY BECAUSE OF THE MURDEROUS

US INVASION OF THE SOVEREIGN NATION OF IRAQ
