- Australia's most experienced military leaders have warned
against any unilateral US action against Iraq, saying a pre-emptive strike
could jeopardise international security.
-
- The senior defence chiefs' assessments reflect a deepening
level of concern within the defence establishment at the prospect of Australia
being dragged into a US-led war against Baghdad outside the framework of
the UN.
-
- The former heads of the army, navy and defence forces
have strenuously urged Australia not to become involved in Iraq without
UN sanctions and popular support.
-
- General Peter Gration, the longest-serving commander
of Australia's defence force Ð from 1987 to 1993 Ð told The Weekend
Australian there was a real risk a US war against Baghdad could unite the
Muslim world against the West.
-
- "If the world's only superpower moves deliberately
to flout the United Nations, this could remove all authority from the UN,"
he warned.
-
- General Gration's views were backed by Admiral Alan Beaumont,
his successor as chief of the defence force, and Admiral Michael Hudson,
chief of naval staff from 1985 to 1991.
-
- Admiral Beaumont said unilateral action against Iraq
was not in anyone's interests, "let alone the United States".
-
- "I don't believe there's any justification for us
joining the United States when we believe they are wrong. I don't think
we should be in there supporting them at all unless it's through the UN."
-
- Admiral Hudson said he did not believe enough information
had been given to Australians to allow them to decide on the issue.
-
- "Until such time as the Prime Minister is prepared
to give full and frank advice to all Australians, I could not possibly
agree to any Australian military participation," he said.
-
- General Gration said: "I am very concerned that
potentially we are on the verge of what could be a breakdown in the global
security system."
-
- He said the idea of a "preventative war" was
a dangerous concept and outside the global security system built up around
the UN since 1945. "If this idea of a preventative war becomes widely
accepted, who knows where it will stop."
-
- Prime Minister John Howard said he still hoped war with
Iraq could be avoided but if Australian troops
- were to be deployed overseas, he hoped it would be with
bipartisan support.

- Dear Jeff,
-
- Perhaps our Aussie Generals have missed the point ???
-
- The actions of the "Dubya Syndicate" and their
probable imminent bypass of the United Nations with a unilateral attack
on Iraq seems to be, not the actions of a dumbo, but rather to be
a deliberate well thought out policy aimed at causing (by any means)
a "unit(ing of) the Muslim world against the West" in war.
-
- It appears that inorder to preserve the Federal
Reserve Banking system and certain persons control of "Pax Americanna"
THEY need:
-
- (a) an external threat designed to unite the US population
and to focus them upon an external enemy (to ensure they do not start looking
internally and examining the FDR system etc. too closely)...
-
- (b) lots of oil resource booty to recover the 12 trillion
dollars - or so - of US paper debt owed to foreign countries - and once
enough oil has been looted (after induced revolt in Saudi Arabia and direct
confrontation with Iran) - then to bring the World to heel by controlling
oil supplies...
-
- (c) a major and lengthy war to increase consumption-production
and fire up the internal US economy (and thereby keep the US home population
"happy")...
-
- (d) an excuse to bring the US internally under military
style (facist) discipline (home security legislation) - and thus whip
any dissenters into line - possibly cancel future elections or continue
to rig same - and thereby enable the primary game plan to be bought
to a conclusion = total control of Planet Earth. A small incidental effect
will be the removal of Israels enemies.
-
- When the UN is bypassed (or bullied/bought off) to allow
a US attack on Iraq then the World will see the UN and the USA for what
they are.
-
- All vestiges of international law and "One World
Government" via the UN will evaporate in the realisation that
"Pax Americanna" intends to be THE "One World Government".
-
- There may be a lot of the World population who do not
agree with such a game. Thereby will be set the seeds for a true World
War III.
