Meet “Curve Ball” - an Iraqi defector responsible to feeding the West false information about the status of Iraq’s biological weapons program.
Rafid Ahmed Alwan provided “information” which then became a pillar for the U.S. decision to bomb and then invade Iraq.
Remember Colin Powell presenting information at the UN to drum up support for the invasion of Iraq? Well most of this was because of Curve Balls lies. How stupid is this situation?
According a report on CBS 60 Minutes, which for you Americans will air on November 4th, Curve Ball was Chemical Engineering student - albeit a bad one with grades averaging around 50. He also has an arrest warrant for theft where he once worked.
It just goes to show the pathetic nature of the justification to go to war and the extent to which lies are used in the current Administration. As for Curve Ball and the reason why he did it;
“It was a guy trying to get his green card essentially, in Germany, and playing the system for what it was worth.” CBS
Now as the war machine powers towards Iran, watch out for more lies and false justification.
