History Did Not Begin Yesterday: The Iraq Cover-Up


John Pilger wrote "Iraq: the great cover-up" published in January of 2001 by the New Statesman.  Pilger highlighted the devastating effects of the decade long sanctions against Iraq imposed by the U.S. and Britain:

The word "genocide" has been used by experts on international law and other cautious voices, such as Denis Halliday, the former assistant secretary general of the United Nations, who resigned as the UN's senior humanitarian official in Iraq, and Hans von Sponeck, his successor, who also resigned in protest. Each had 34 years at the UN and were acclaimed in their field; their resignations, along with the head of the World Food Programme in Baghdad, were unprecedented.

That's right, during the Clinton/Blair years two senior United Nations officials resigned in protest of the sanctions which crippled the people of Iraq.  The hundred's of thousand's of deaths caused by the western powers were explained away by current Georgetown University professor Ms. Madeleine Albright on CBS 60 Minutes.





Contrary to what the outcast media wants you to believe about Iraq, history did not begin yesterday.
