General admits to secret air war
Michael Smith
THE American general who commanded allied air forces during the Iraq war
appears to have admitted in a briefing to American and British officers that
coalition aircraft waged a secret air war against Iraq from the middle of
2002, nine months before the invasion began.
Addressing a briefing on lessons learnt from the Iraq war Lieutenant-General
Michael Moseley said that in 2002 and early 2003 allied aircraft flew 21,736
sorties, dropping more than 600 bombs on 391 "carefully selected targets"
before the war officially started.
The nine months of allied raids "laid the foundations" for the allied
victory, Moseley said. They ensured that allied forces did not have to start
the war with a protracted bombardment of Iraqi positions.
If those raids exceeded the need to maintain security in the no-fly zones of
southern and northern Iraq, they would leave President George W Bush and
Tony Blair vulnerable to allegations that they had acted illegally.
Moseley's remarks have emerged after reports in The Sunday Times that showed
an increase in allied bombing in southern Iraq was described in leaked
minutes of a meeting of the war cabinet as "spikes of activity to put
pressure on the regime".
Moseley told the briefing at Nellis airbase in Nevada on July 17, 2003, that
the raids took place under cover of patrols of the southern no-fly zone;
their purpose was ostensibly to protect the ethnic minorities.
A leaked memo previously disclosed by The Sunday Times, detailing a meeting
chaired by the prime minister and attended by Jack Straw, the foreign
secretary, Geoff Hoon, the then defence secretary, and Admiral Sir Michael
Boyce, chief of defence staff, indicated that the US was carrying out the
bombing.
But Moseley's remarks, and figures for the amount of bombs dropped in
southern Iraq during 2002, indicate that the RAF was taking as large a part
in the bombing as American aircraft.
Details of the Moseley briefing come amid rising concern in the US at the
war. A new poll shows 60% of Americans now believe it was a mistake.

 their purpose was ostensibly to protect the ethnic minorities.
Interessante: hanno continuato a cambiar motivo. Prima si e' fatto il 
bombardamento per proteggere le minorita' etniche, poi si e' fatta 
l'invasione per le WMD, e infine l'occupazione per la democrazia.
Prevedo che si restera' per arginare la guerra civile (ciao protezione 
delle minorita' etniche) , finche non si decidera' se 'farsi' la Siria 
o l'Iran...

Eccone un altro con la memoria corta. 
L'aggressione all'Irak e' cominciata nel 1986 con il 
bombardamento israeliano del reattore nucleare iracheno di 
Osirak.
