In The Threatening Storm, Kenneth M. Pollack, one of the world’s leading experts on Iraq, provides a masterly insider’s perspective on the crucial issues facing the United States as it moves toward a new confrontation with Saddam Hussein.

For the past fifteen years, as an analyst on Iraq for the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Council, Kenneth Pollack has studied Saddam as closely as anyone else in the United States. In 1990, he was one of only three CIA analysts to predict the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. As the principal author of the CIA’s history of Iraqi military strategy and operations during the Gulf War, Pollack gained rare insight into the methods and workings of what he believes to be the most brutal regime since Stalinist Russia. ...

War Plan Iraq rigorously dissects official propaganda to bring together an argument that should shake Bush's and Blair's determination to start an illegal war with Iraq. 

Based on the popular 'ARROW anti-war briefings' the book argues there is no evidence that the Iraqi's have chemical weapons, or that they are involved in terrorism. In fact, it offers evidence that the US refused a Taliban offer to extradite Bin Laden & that the work of the weapon's inspectors was deliberately undermined by the US government. Rai shows that if Saddam were deposed his regime would remain but millions of vulnerable civilians would be killed. 

This projected war has no mandate; certainly not amongst the 56 percent of British people who oppose it, nor amongst Iraq's neighbours & even many US and British Generals are against it. If none of these arguments persuade our leaders, how about the specter of world recession that a war could trigger? Brilliantly persuasive & never dull, this book is essential reading for anyone who cares about peace & democracy.

Scott Ritter, Parteifreund von George W. Bush und nun sein schärfster Kritiker, war von 1991 bis 1998 UN-Waffeninspekteur im Irak. Er wäre der erste, ein militärisches Vorgehen gegen Saddam Hussein zu befürworten, wenn dieser über Massenvernichtungswaffen verfügte. Doch in diesem Buch legt Ritter dar: Die Begründungen, die die amerikanische Regierung für ihren Krieg gegen den Irak anführt, sind falsch. Es gibt keinerlei Beweise, dass der Irak...

Guerre a l' irak - Ce que bush ne dit pas, entretien avec Scott Ritter

En 1998, au terme de sept années de mission en Irak, Scott Ritter et les inspecteurs mandatés par les Nations unies ont confirmé la destruction de l'arsenal d'armes biologiques, chimiques et nucléaires de l'Irak. Pourquoi, dès lors, mener une nouvelle guerre à l'Irak ? Scott Ritter et William Rivers Pitt analysent les raisons d'une guerre annoncée contre l'Irak par la Maison blanche et soulignent l'absence totale de liens entre Al Qaida et Saddam Hussein (d'ailleurs cible d'Oussama Ben Laden, comme de George W. Bush). Scott Ritter et William Rivers Pitt démontrent pourquoi un changement de régime, appelé de leurs voeux par MM. Bush et Blair, est absurde et ne conduirait pas nécessairement à la démocratie dans un pays divisé depuis des siècles. Au final, ils mettent en garde contre les conséquences désastreuses d'une telle action conjointe des forces armées américaines et britanniques.

Pitt and Ritter go on to explore the White House's premise for war, demonstrating among many startling revelations, the utter lack of any plausible link between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda. We learn that Osama bin Laden is in agreement with the Bush administration, and has called for the death of Saddam Hussein. Pitt and Ritter highlight the absurdity of Team Bush's dual aim of bringing down Hussein and forcing democracy on a nation that has been divided for centuries. Ritter enumerates the many ways in which it is impossible for Iraq to pose a credible threat. WAR ON IRAQ closes with a stark forecast for American troops if a ground war ensues and urges the White House to seek a diplomatic solution before it is too late.
