War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn't Want You to Know William Rivers Pitt and former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter challenge claims surrounding Iraq’s present weapons capabilities and bring to light neo-conservative forces behind the White House’s push for war on Iraq.

War Plan Iraq: Ten Reasons Against War with Iraq War Plan Iraq: Ten Reasons Against War with Iraq.War Plan Iraq rigorously dissects official propaganda. (We thank you for your purchase which supports our website efforts!)Milan Rai demonstrates that Bush's claims to change the regime in Iraq, despite intentions to impose another Sunni general to replace Saddam Hussein, are not in fact a "regime change," but a "leadership change." He also shows that the war would be in violation of international law; that there is no hard evidence that Iraq possesses any weapons of mass destruction; that there is no substantiated connection between the government of Iraq, September 11th, and the al Qaeda network; that the proposed war carries a high risk of triggering a humanitarian disaster in Iraq, especially for the Kurds of northern Iraq; and that the war could precipitate a world recession with dire consequences for the world's poor. Iraq's neighbors, the ones most at risk from Iraq's weapons, are against the proposed war, as are top military professionals in Britain and the US, many international organizations and countries around the world, and a great majority of people in the US and the UK.
