Cheney's Whole War-by-Fraud
Strategy Is Now Exposed
Feb. 22, 2004 (EIRNS)—The lid has blown on the outright criminal disinformation campaign, run by Vice President Dick Cheney, to get his dirty little war in Iraq. This promises to be the biggest scandal yet, in the whole sordid "Cheneygate" affair. Over 500 American GIs are dead, another 3,000 are wounded, many with life-altering injuries. At minimum, officially, 15,000 Iraqis are dead, along with scores of Italian, Polish, British, Spanish and other nationalities among the occupation troops. And the whole war was willfully built on a pile of disinformation.
At the same time, the financial crisis will determine the future—the very near future, and candidate LaRouche is warning the population to wake up now. In a brief campaign statement that will be published soon, LaRouche warns voters against choosing candidates the way they "cheer for a sports figure in the arena." We are on the edge of a collapse of the present world monetary-financial system, one more dangerous than what FDR faced in March 1933," says LaRouche. He tells voters, "You are in the arena of a world economic crisis. Don't be a sidewalk superintendent. Act in this election as if your personal future depended upon it. It does."

Dirty Story Has Come Together

The Crimes of Iran-Contra
Have Never Ended

A funny thing happened, early in May, when President Bush met with Jordan's King Abdullah II in Washington. According to news accounts, the Jordanian ruler provided the President with a dossier, revealing that Ahmed Chalabi—the head of the Iraqi National Congress (INC) and the darling of the neo-cons in the Office of Vice President Dick Cheney, the civilian apparatus at the Pentagon, and such Beltway think tanks as the American Enterprise Institute and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA)—was passing top secret U.S. government material to the most radical ayatollahs in Iran.

It is no secret that the Jordanian government has had deep misgivings about Chalabi's prominent role in the postwar Iraq occupation government. Chalabi has a 22-year jail sentence awaiting him in Jordan, as the result of massive fraud at his Petra Bank in the 1990s. The Jordanian Ambassador in Washington and King Abdullah II have both publicly accused Chalabi, and his INC, of being behind the bombing of the Jordanian embassy in Baghdad in August 2003.
