Iraq's weapons

A lot has been said lately of Hussein Kamal...

Who was Hussein Kamel? He was the former director of Iraq's Military Industrialization Corporation, in charge of Iraq's weapons programme. He and his brother Col. Saddam Kamel defected to Jordan on 7 August 1995 and they took with them crates of documents revealing past weapons programmes. These crates were given to UNSCOM.



I thought it might be good to include a link to a transcript of his interview with UNSCOM on 22 August 1995 which was released on 27 February 2003. This link has a summary of the most important points.

It makes the following very clear: all WMD were destroyed and the programs were not about to be resumed; the US were aware of it; UN weapons inspectors were certainly effective and the economic sanctions should have been lifted many years ago, which would have prevented many deaths!



The USA kept a lid on this because they really wanted a war... they wanted to oust Saddam Houssein together with obtaining full control over the region.



Oh yes, I am still angry over the invasion of Iraq and I stay angry as I watch the barely concealed greed at work here. Shame on you America!
