Who Are the War Criminals? The Nightmare: The Iraq Invasion’s Atrocities, Unearthing the Unthinkable

Posted by: John Phoenix March 19, 2025 marks 22 years since the US-UK-led war on Iraq in 2003. But that war did not start in 2003. It is an ongoing 31 years’ wars. It is part of a broader war against humanity. This article by Felicity Arbuthnot was first published on October 9, 2010. Felicity was for several years a war correspondent in Iraq. *** “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” François-Marie Arouet -“Voltaire” (1694-1778.) I have a deeply held belief that the duty of a commentator is, to the best of one’s ability, to record, to shine light in often dark places, to act as a voice for those whose own voice, fears, plights might not be heard or known.

Saddam did not have WMD’s when Bush Jr said he did but he did have WMD’s when Bush Sr covered it up

Posted by: John Phoenix December 19, 2024 In 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini referred to the United States as “the Great Satan” for a reason. He articulated a principle that remains relevant to this day. Khomeini stated: “There is no crime America will not commit in order to maintain its political, economic, cultural, and military domination of those parts of the world where it predominates. It exploits the oppressed people of the world by means of the large-scale propaganda campaigns that are coordinated for it by international Zionism. By means of its hidden and treacherous agents, it sucks the blood of the defenseless people as if it alone, together with its satellites, had the right to live in this world. Iran has tried to sever all its relations with this Great Satan and it is ...

Iraq Invasion – The Biggest Terrorist Attack in Modern History. “Terrorism of US-UK-NATO-Israel”

Posted by: John Phoenix Global Research, November 26, 2024 Veteran journalist and war correspondent Felicity Arbuthnot, (Research Associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization) recalls the circumstances of the War on Iraq. (March 28, 2016) The underlying concept is “Terrorism of US-UK-NATO-Israel” *** Since terrorism’s tragedy is again in the news, it is timely to revisit perhaps one of the biggest acts of terrorism in modern history – the illegal invasion and destruction – ongoing – of Iraq. March 20th marked the thirteenth anniversary of an action resulting in the equivalent of a Paris, Brussels, London 7th July 2005, often multiple times daily in Iraq ever since. As for 11th September 2001, there has frequently been that d...

The US Steals Syrian Oil, and the Kurds Sell It to ‘Israel’ at a Discount in Erbil

By Steven Sahiounie Global Research, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (IRG) claimed responsibility for missile attacks on an Israeli “spy headquarters.” Kurdish businessman Peshraw Dizayee and four of his family members were killed in the attack on their home on January 16 near the US Consulate in Erbil, in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region (IKR). Dizayee was the owner of the Falcon Group, which is a business involved in oil and gas, agriculture and security. The IRG claimed its missiles targeted a “Mossad headquarters”. “No US facilities were impacted. We’re not tracking damage to infrastructure or injuries at this time,” a US official said in response to the recent attack. Prime Minister of the IKR, Masrour Barzani, condemned the IRG a...

On the 20th anniversary of imperialism’s predatory invasion of Iraq

Posted by: John Phoenix The 20th of March this year marked the 20th anniversary of the start of Anglo-American imperialism’s war against Iraq. Although there was mass opposition to this war, most of the print and electronic media, including the BBC, whipped up jingoistic hysteria against Iraq and in favour of the war. 20 years on there is hardly anyone who can be found to speak in favour of it. Respectable bourgeois newspapers have published articles, written by respectable bourgeois journalists, condemning this war. We just take one such article as an example. It appeared in the Sunday Times of 19 March 2023. Under the half misleading title ‘Ever noticed how much less stable the world is now than in 2003? Well, Blair’s to blame’, the...

Iraq: Imperialism at sixes and sevens as resistance to occupation gathers pace

Posted by: John Phoenix For seventeen years British and US soldiers have been in occupation of Iraq. At first this occupation was openly acknowledged. Later it was presented as offering security to the US-sponsored regime which in turn ‘invited’ the troops to stay on. Gradually successive Iraqi governments, acting under popular pressure, have sought to set deadlines for the troops’ departure, but the army never quite managed to find the exit. As things stand, there are still about 7,500 coalition grunts squatting on Iraqi soil, of whom 5,000 are from the US. Needless to add, this conservative estimate does not include the numerous contractors, mercenaries and other camp-followers who buttress the occupation. Now, though, with the imperialist proxy war against Syria collap...

Iraq: Stands at a Crossroads

Posted by: John Phoenix The protests which erupted in Iraq throughout October and November, culminating in the resignation of prime minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, did not come out of a clear blue sky. There is no shortage of reasons to revolt against the situation in which Iraqis find themselves seventeen years after their country was sanctioned, invaded, occupied and destroyed by US and British imperialism, all in the name of democracy and freedom. What had been one of the most modern and industrially advanced societies in the Middle East, with an enviable record in health, education and welfare funded by ample domestic oil revenues, was comprehensively trashed, leaving behind nothing but wreckage and depleted uranium. To this day, despite (or because of) the lucrative involve...

Washington threatens further sanctions on Iraq if ‘misuse of dollars’ not addressed

The Cradle An official from the US Treasury Department has urged Iraq to “address continued risks of the misuse of dollars” by commercial banks to avoid a new round of sanctions targeting the war-torn country’s battered financial sector. Although nearly a third of Iraq’s 72 banks are now banned from facilitating dollar transactions due to unilateral US measures, a Treasury official who spoke anonymously with Reuters on 14 September said Iraqi banks were still operating with risks “that must be remediated.” In July, Washington blacklisted 14 commercial banks accused of facilitating US dollar transactions to Iran, a country Washington seeks to strangulate economically. The unilateral measures led to increased demand for the greenback on ...
