Questions about who set the oil well fires in Kuwait
by American Gulf War Veterans Association
February 21, 2003
For the past six years, the American Gulf War Veterans Association have
received numerous reports from veterans stating that US forces were
responsible for the setting of the oil well fires at the end of the Gulf
War. These testimonies are now being taken very seriously in light of
recent revelations of the events that occurred during the first Gulf War.
Joyce Riley, spokesperson for The American Gulf War Veterans Association
is
quoted as saying: There was intentional misinformation given to the
American people to generate support for Desert Storm often created by
advertising agencies such as Hill and Knowlton.
* Revelations regarding the Incubator story, in which Republican Guard
were reported to have thrown babies out of their incubators onto the cold
floor turned out to be false and a fraud on the American People. (S.R.
103-900).
* The St. Petersburg Times disproved the report of satellite photos
showing
a thousand Iraqi tanks amassing on the Saudi border.
* April Glaspie, US Ambassador, gave tacit approval to Saddam Hussein to
invade Iraq by saying, We have no opinion on&your border dispute with
Kuwait.
* John Shalikashvilli, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and William
Perry, Secretary of Defense wrote in a memo (obtained by the AGWVA) on
May
25, 1994, There is no information, classified or unclassified that
indicates that chemical or biological weapons were used in the Persian
Gulf. General Norman Schwartzkopf s NBC (nuclear, biological and
chemical)
logs (also obtained by the AGWVA) dated Feb. 27, 1991, and March 3, 1991,
clearly disprove the above statement.
One veteran has now stepped forward and given a detailed account of how
he
and others in special teams, moved forward of the front, (behind enemy
lines
ahead of US forces) and then set charges on the well heads. We were
mustered into the briefing tent at which point a gentleman whom I first
had
thought to be an American began to brief us on the operation. I was
concerned because he was not wearing a US uniform and insignias.
The information provided over a series of meetings with this veteran
corroborates reports from other veterans who are totally unconnected with
this individual. This testimony brings into serious question the
integrity
of the US government, as it provided information to the American public
and
military during the last Gulf War.
The American Gulf War Veterans Association is presently dissenting on the
war and has been joined by The British Gulf War Veterans and Families
Association. Riley states that: Not only is it our opinion that the
Department of Defense has not been forthcoming about the severity of our
military s illnesses, significant concern is now being raised over the
causation as well.
