FALSE FLAG OPERATION (1991): Saddam Hussein, military dictator of Iraq, invades Kuwait, in retaliation for Kuwait “slant” drilling Iraqi petroleum from across the border.  Hussein seeks to assure King Fahd, of Saudi Arabia, that Iraq is only trying to recover its renegade province, which had been partitioned away seven decades previous.  Osama bin Muhammad bin Awad bin Laden offers his resources, fortune and personal contacts to King Fahd, to defend their homeland, in case Hussein is lying.  The only request of the son of Laden is that the king not ask the United states for assistance.  Also, Commander-in-Chief George Herbert Walker Bush issues Executive Orders 12722 and 12723, freezing all Iraqi and Kuwaiti assets in the U.s.

       NOTES:

• Up to this time, Bush had approved 1,000,000,000 “dollars” in loan guarantees, and 4,800,000 “dollars” in advanced technology sales, to Iraq.
• A false flag operation is a clandestine action usually carried out by a group with an agenda, done in such a way to mislead a population into believing it is being done by someone else.
• In the opinion of history, and of the editors and writers, we are forced to agree on prima facie evidence alone that this is a false flag incident at least in the military way.
