When a PhD on the "politics of smell" trended on X recently it exposed how elites use pretentious woke gobbledegook to exclude the people from power, much like previous generations used Latin and Greek, says Steven Tucker.

America is already at war with Iraq, says Rumsfeld

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday January 20, 2003 00:55author by Eoin Dubsky - Refueling Peaceauthor email info at refuelingpeace dot orgauthor phone 087-6941060 Report this post to the editors

The US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld stated in a tv interview on Fox News today that the United States of America is currently in a state of war with the Republic of Iraq.

In an interview today with Fox News TV man Tony Snow, Donald Rumsfeld made this admission when asked whether America wasn't already at war with Iraq:

"Well, technically the state of war that began in 1991 has never ended. I mean, that has still -- there's currently a state of war with Iraq that has not ended."

(Quoted from http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,75985,00.html)

The Irish Government have changed their story on the nature and conditions relating to US military overflights and refueling a number of times. Currently the official line from the Department of Foreign Affairs though is that "...in the event of any military action being taken by any country or group of countries, the Government will review the existing situation in relation to overflights and landings and will bring the matter before the Dáil." (Quoted from http://www.irlgov.ie/iveagh/information/display.asp?ID=1097)

Surely our leaders won't have the chutzpah to ignore this statement from the horse's mouth!

Surely Rumsfeld's admission, coupled with reports of the real and continuous bombing of Iraq (See http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,395890,00.html) must amount to "military action" in the Irish State's lexicon!
