Iraq

Today, a little lesson in hypocrisy.



Check out these publications of the US State Dept:



First, this one on 31 July 2003:

Bush Continues National Emergency With Respect to Iraq

Continuation notice cites continued instability in Iraq

President Bush has continued for one year the national emergency with respect to Iraq, citing continued instability in the country, as well as the need to "ensure the establishment of a process leading to representative Iraqi self-rule."



In other words, the crippling US sanctions will continue for another year!!!



The US State Dept then published the following publications over the next few days:
