 When
you hear news of a "no fly zone" do you know
the context? We hear this "no fly zone" in the
media and the Whitehouse complains that Iraq is in violation
of UN Resolutions and complains about Iraq shooting at
planes in the no fly zone. Look how this gets reported:
"Rumsfeld says Iraq's defiance of the international
community is symbolized by its forces continuing to fire
on U.S. and British aircraft patrolling the no-fly zones
in the north and the south of the country. The Pentagon
says Iraqi forces have fired on coalition aircraft in
the no-fly zones 67 times since Baghdad promised two weeks
ago to allow United Nations weapons inspectors back into
the country. Rumsfeld says that is clear evidence of Iraq's
contempt for U.N. resolutions. "With each missile
launched at our aircrews, Iraq expresses its contempt
for the U.N. resolutions, a fact that must be kept in
mind as their latest inspection offers are evaluated,"
he said."
NOTE: The
important fact that they leave out of the article is that
the UN did not set up the "no fly zones" and
the UN resolutions do not authorize the "no fly zones."
Read the UN Resolutions yourself and you will see that
none of them set up "no fly zones" nor do they
authorize The way the "no fly zones" have been
presented to the public has not been honest. The media
mainly serves state power rather than serving as a check
and balance on it. The media conformed with the US government
lies about the "no fly zones."
The no fly zones were not set up or sanctioned
by the UN: Search for the
info using google.
"Despite their mild protestations to the contrary,
U.S. officials know that the no-fly zones have
been illegal from the get-go". -fft.org
"However, unlike the military campaign to expel Iraqi
forces from Kuwait, the no-fly zones were not
authorized by the UN and they are not specifically sanctioned
by any Security Council resolution." - BBC
