In its simplest form, the 1990-91, Persian Gulf conflict was a falling out of private business partners.

The result of this treachery? Great loss of life of ordinary soldiers. Upwards of 150 thousand young Iraqis died in the conflict, some buried alive by U.S. war bulldozers. President Bush ordered U.S. warplanes to shoot in the back, the retreating Iraqi soldiers proceeding under a white flag of surrender. It was the most horrendous murder of surrendering troops in world history. The German massacre of some 80 U.S. troops surrendering in World War 2 during the Battle of the Bulge, was a small matter by comparison.

Following the Persian Gulf War, some 15,000 U.S. troops died from the mysterious malady, called Gulf War Syndrome, which the Pentagon denies is happening. Ex-GIs continue to die from the strange ailments, and the total deaths and debilitating diseases amount to more than 20 per cent as casualties of all the Americans serving in the military in the Persian Gulf 1990-91, more than 100 thousand American soldiers as casualties.

[An example of denial: I interviewed on tape an official of the Rockefeller's University of Chicago Hospitals Public Relations, regarding Gulf War Syndrome. He said there is no such thing and that a doctor on their staff had been a key person on a semi-government group that came to the same conclusion. I told him that sources at their hospitals contend that some doctors and nurses themselves have somehow reportedly contracted this "Gulf War Syndrome" and are severely ill if not dying. In so many words, he said it is all in their mind. And the hospitals only treat the matter as different forms of ailments, he said. So if the medical people themselves are sick with this "imaginary" syndrome and are severely ill or dying, somebody should say, "Get up out of your bed, Doctor, it is all in your imagination. And if your wife has given birth to misformed children, or your children are themselves sick with the same syndrome, or your dogs or cats---it is all in their imagination, doctor."]
