'Cold Turkey" voor Colin Powell (engels)
Foreign Pres Foundation - Henk Ruyssenaars - 01.04.2003 14:17

De Amerikanse minister van Buit. Zaken Colin Powell heeft twee keer geprobeerd de VN vervalste bewijzen in de maag te splitsen : nu is deze goochelaar weer op weg, maar...

GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION : Periscope News - FPF - The Netherlands - For free and fair use.

COLD TURKEY FOR POWELL !

Brussels and Turkey : Powell seeks meeting with suspicious Turkish, NATO and EU officials.

FPF-Brussels - Skepticism runs high in Turkey and the European Union capital Brussels, because of visiting Secretary of State Colin Powell. The fact that Colin Powell on behalf of the US Government to the United Nations, and to the world - already twice has presented forged documents to "proof" Iraq's 'nuclear capability* and other 'dangers', has created great suspicion concerning Powell's new "evidence" which may be presented for NATO's top military in the EU-HQ in Brussels, Belgium.

The US led war is faltering, as also the immediately fired Peter Arnett confirmed on TV, and globally it is a well known fact the FBI investigates* Powell's presentation of forged "evidence" to the United Nations. Placing 'the Americans and the British' - including their fellow travelers - globally in a very awkward position, using all means to justify an unjust cause. The result expected being that Colin Powell by many in the EU, Turkey and NATO will be cold shouldered, or, as one foreign journalist quipped: 'Cold Turkey for Powell' !

Colin Powell has asked to meet three top European Union officials in Brussels on Thursday, for discussions expected to focus on Iraq, EU diplomats confirmed. Powell requested to see Javier Solana, the EU foreign policy chief, Chris Patten, the European External Relations Commissioner, and George Papandreou, the Greek Foreign Minister. Justification of the Iraq invasion is badly needed : Diplomats said it could not be excluded that Powell would try to meet and convince all 15 EU foreign ministers, as well as other foreign ministers from NATO member states during his visit. "We know this is what the State Department has in mind," the diplomats said.

PSYOPS : FAKE EVIDENCE

However, whatever socalled 'irrefutable proof' or 'evidence' the United States will present, to 'justify' it's illegal invasion of Iraq, "this must be checked by really independent international and UN authorities", the head of the United Nations nuclear control institute, IAEA, mr. El ElBaradei yesterday confirmed. Mr. ElBaradei is the person who in the UN used the euphemism : "not authentic", meaning 'fake', concerning Powell's 'proof'.

Outside the US it is very difficult - after Powell's repeated deception of the UN - to again accept American "evidence' against third countries in any form. Be it nuclear, chemical or biological, and said to be "found" by US "specialists". Foreign political analysts still expect the US Defense PsyOps, British or Israeli intelligence services - any day now, and against better judgment - to produce some kind of "evidence" putting Iraq in the liars boot. This will be "found" and reproted on by all 'embedded' and 'trusted' media (owned by the multinationals that started this war, like Peter Arnett's NBC, which is owned by nuclear multi-national General Electric). And - as usual - the 'industry-media' with their collaborators will help to "justify" another illegal US invasion* !

America is right now - with force, not law - altering the destiny of the Middle East and Kurdistan will not be independent as long as the water in the region - especially for Israel - originates in the mountains of Kurdistan. According to the CIA report, in the region the water is much more important than the abundance of oil :

'COLD TURKEY' and thirty-six billion dollars...

In Ankara for Powell and his delegation it's expected to be going bad too : the Turkish government has thus far refused up to accept thirty-six billion dollars to leave the field to the US. Turkey also refuses US troops to use it's territory in extenso, and has troops already positioned in Kurdistan, a region which seems to be worth much more than 36 billion $. US adversary Iran has like Iraq and Turkey - been fighting over the Kurdish water for years. Iran urged Turkey last Sunday not to intervene more in northern Iraq : "We understand and share Turkey's concerns but we do not approve of Turkish forces entering Iraq," Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi told a news conference, warning for a future conflict.* The Peshmerga* it is understood, will turn their weapons against the US forces the very second they find another warlord than the US, who pays more and guarantees or respects Kurdish independence. The United States has - according to Kurdish sources - officially informed Turkey that it has armed nearly eighty thousand Peshmerga fighters led by Jalal Talabani and Massoud Barzani in Northern Iraq in order to send them to military front.

US Arms Nearly 80,000 Peshmerga Fighters :

 http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cache:5_MBKrJn68oC:www.wadinet.de/News/archiv/irakischkurdistan/nw1078_peshmerga.htm+peshmerga&hl=nl&ie=UTF-8

Because, following a 1983 agreement which now is in danger and has to be 'renewed'; Turkey sells Kurdish water to Israel*. Not to the Palestinians - who pay much more for their water. Now the parties at war want to make an agreement concerning the oil and water in Kurdistan, regardless - like in the past - of the impoverished and inhumanely treated Kurdish people.

The problem for neighboring countries like Iran, Syria, Turkey, Jordan and Israel is the fact the Kurds have understood very well; that under the present circumstances they will never be independent. The Kurdish people have already for decades been fighting for their independence and territorial rights, and will have to do so - they understand - as long as their mountainous Kurdistan region provides most of the water for the region, and is essentially a 'life line, to Israel. That's why the Kurdish people and their kidnapped, sentenced and imprisoned leader Öcalan, are doomed until further notice...

Kurdistan's oil fields - among the absolute biggest oil reserves in the world - deliver via Kirkuk, the Kurdish 'Grozny', sixty percent of the by Iraq exported oil. But the power which has it's hands on the "water tap", controls the much more valuable water and thus also the oil production in the region. In this special CIA report this is confirmed *.

Reference : Professor Steven Pelletiere, the Central Intelligence Agency's senior political analyst on Iraq during the Iran Iraq war, also was a professor at the Army War College from 1988 to 2000. As such he was privy to much of the classified material that flowed through Washington, having to do with the Persian Gulf. In addition, Prof. Pelletiere headed a 1991 Army investigation into how the Iraqis would fight a war against the United States.
