- ANOTHER LINE IN THE SAND? OR DAMAGE CONTROL.
-
- Can it be sheer coincidence that US Army Maj. Karen Jansen, leader
- of the UN weapons monitoring team in Iraq, targeted the
- agricultural ministry building to begin another standoff with
- Saddam Hussein at just about the same time that the House Banking
- Committee announced a case against high Bush administration
- officials for lying to congress and falsifying documents
- pertaining to the use of US agricultural credits for Iraq from
- 1989 right up to the beginning of the Persian Gulf War?
-
- Is it also coincidence that only two weeks ago when the House of
- Representatives voted to appoint a special counsel to investigate
- the alleged wrong doing between the depts. of Commerce and Defense
- by transferring agricultural credits for cash and weapons, that US
- Army Major Karen Jansen's failed efforts to gain access to Iraq's
- Agricultural Ministry hardened into another
- confrontation/ultimatum stand?
-
- Is this now the ultimate fulfillment of Bush's election pledge to
- "do anything to get reelected." From this administration's point
- of view, another war in the Gulf would possibly--
- . eliminate documents in Iraq's Agricultural Ministry that could
- corroborate the case against the administration currently pending
- .
-
- . restore George Bush's macho image when he enters the convention
- hall in August enGULFed in yellow ribbons and high poll ratings.
-
- . restore defense spending to set America back on the war economy
- road.
-
- The Congress and the Candidates should immediately debate the use
- of the UN as a military tool to enhance the candidacy of George
- Bush and the possible obstruction of justice in targeting the
- building in Iraq most likely to contain documents embarrassing to
- the Bush administration (the 1992 version of the Iran Contra paper
- shredder now appears to be US bombers).
-
- Hopefully it may not be long before the American voters forget the
- lines in the sand and draw a new line on Pennsylvania Avenue.

- NATIONAL COMMITTEE TO ELECT A PEACE PRESIDENT
