Aggressor's True Colors Can Never Be Veiled - KCNA News Analyst's Article -

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 9 (KCNA) -- Recently, U.S. President Bush met Brahimi, special advisor to the United Nations Secretary General, and requested an immediate dispatch of a UN mission to Iraq. Bush, who ordered the invasion of Iraq irrespective of the strong opposition of the United Nations and the international community, is now changing his attitude. Why?
    The Iraqi war, the United States started allegedly to "defend liberty", has been viewed in the international community as a war of aggression and plunder and public criticism of the war is growing stronger in the United States. Under this situation, the Bush administration is desperately trying to dull the criticism.
    In order to unleash the Iraqi war, Bush cited the reason that Iraq was threatening the international community by developing weapons of mass destruction.
    However, the former chief of the U.S.-led searching team of mass destruction weapon in Iraq, Key, told Reuters on January 23 that the Bush administration's intelligence was entirely false.
    The Bush administration unilaterally ignited the Iraqi war for the purpose of monopolizing Iraq's oil and placing the Middle East under its domination. With the purpose brought into bold relief, the U.S. intelligence bodies have spread a rumor that Iraq's weapons of mass destruction had been spirited to Syria.
    Syria categorically refuted the rumor and other nations criticized the United States for its lies and plots.
    With the situation getting worse, Rice and other U.S. high-ranking officials held press conferences one after another in a bid to prove the "justness" of the invasion of Iraq.
    On January 20, Bush in a "state address" described the invasion as his political success, alleging that the United States had brought freedom to Iraq and that the world had become safer. Even U.S. media, however, branded his address as base propaganda aimed to improve his image before the next presidential election.
    U.S. Democrats accused Bush of beautifying the unilateral and extreme war of aggression, saying "it is Bush that should be dismissed from his job before anyone else in the United States".
    This is why the Bush administration could not but ask help from the United Nations and the international community, which it disregarded in starting the Iraqi war.
    The Bush administration should know clearly that with no amount of misinformation and plot, can it veil its true colors as aggressor and plunderer.
