Carter: ‘Oppose Unnecessary Wars, Preemptive Strikes, And, Embargoes’ And, Obama Imposes Another Round of Sanctions on Syria/Iran
By: CTuttle, FDL
Yesterday, former President and Nobel Peace Laureate, Jimmy Carter, had delivered the keynote address to the 12th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Chicago…
Former President Carter tells Nobel gathering to oppose unnecessary wars, preemptive strikes
…“For the last 60 years, our country has been almost constantly at war. Now we are contemplating going to war again, perhaps in Iran,” said Carter, one of 21 Nobel Peace Prize laureates and organizations participating in a three-day international conference in Chicago. “I’m not against all wars… but any war should begin only as a last resort and after every possible means of resolution has been exhausted.”
Carter, who won the prize in 2002, said that as a laureate, it is not legitimate to only criticize what others are doing , he must also take a frank look at his own country, not with condemnation but constructively… {snip}
…But in some cases, he said, the U.S. has engaged in wars that were “completely unnecessary.”

Better yet they should not be around War mongering president, fascists, like Obama and corrupt NOBEL officials who awarded Nobel peace prizes to War criminals like KISSINGER. They should all call out the fascist, criminal Nato and U.S. officials who have tainted Peace awards for global Fascism, support for puppet, U.S. sponsored tyrants, dictators, like the Shah of Iran, that Carter supported to the hilt. They should all become independent, indivisible, free from Western Fascist co option, by WALKING OUT OF THIS EVENT.
Considering cumulative evidence of a criminal , Fascist Western alliance, what are these Nobel Peace Prize laureates doing in Chicago, where Nato and the U.S. fascist, torture, rendition alliances around obvious War criminals who are condemned world wide for their War crimes, drone extra judicial murders, torture, rendition. They are even being investigated by Spain and Poland for their torture, Western Fascism. ALSO, considering new evidence from military documents and statement by these NATO/US. fascists, the NOBEL PEACE COMMITTEE would find itself in a classic contradiction, typical example of class/empire whoring, where it awards phony freedom and peace awards to the very people being PROSECUTED FOR THEIR WAR CRIMES.
Chossudovsky writes: ""What is unfolding (in Iran) is the outright legitimization of war in the name of an illusive notion of global security. America’s mini-nukes, with an explosive capacity of up to six times a Hiroshima bomb, are upheld as a 'humanitarian' bomb, whereas Iran's nonexistent nuclear weapons are branded as an indisputable threat to global security,..."
NATO/US. co option of the U.N. through the corrupt Security Council has produced "humanitarian wars" , now "humanitarian (NUCLEAR) bombs" a deep, surreal, despotic, totalitarian, duplicitous, fascist, corrupt outcome, which now tries to use NOBEL LAUREATES for their WAR CRIMES. The Nobel Committee and its tainted recipients must NOW TAKE INTO ACCOUNT the criminal declared policies of WESTERN POWERS, AND THEIR CRIMINAL POLICIES:
Chossudovsky writes:
"It is not Iran and North Korea which are a threat to global security but the United States of America and Israel," he adds. What’s more, Western European governments have joined the bandwagon and "have endorsed the U.S.-led military initiative against Iran."...
"In 2005, Vice President Dick Cheney ordered USSTRATCOM (Strategic Command) to draft a 'contingency plan' that included "a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons," Chossudovsky writes.
The plan went beyond the terms of reference outlined in the Pentagon’s 2001 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), which called for a "preemptive" "first strike use" of nuclear weapons against Russia and China as well as Iran and North Korea.
The 2005 plan identified more than 450 strategic targets in Iran, including numerous alleged nuclear-weapons-program development sites. The plan, incredibly, was rationalized on a second 9/11 type attack on the US that Cheney believed Iran would allegedly support!
"President Obama has largely endorsed the doctrine of pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons formulated by the previous administration," Chossudovsky writes in his new book, "Towards a World War III Scenario: The Dangers of Nuclear War" (Global Research, 2012). His Administration "has also intimated it will use nukes in the event of an Iran response to an Israeli attack on Iran."
THAT IS A REASON TO IMMEDIATELY PUT NATO AND THE WEST ON TRIAL FOR CRIMINAL WAR POLICIES AND PLANNED NUCLEAR ANIHILATION, AGGRESSION AGAINST IRAN, CHINA AND RUSSIA. OBAMA BELIEVES IN NUCLEAR AGGRESSION AND WE HAVE NOBEL PEACE LAUREATES BEING USED BY HIM , TO CO OPT THEIR AGENDA INTO WAR.
