Greenpeace, Marsh Arabs and the Watermelon Fraud

Yet more evidence emerged this week that the so-called environmental group Greenpeace is in fact a watermelon -- green on the outside, red on the inside.

In Alaska a judge turned down a motion by Greenpeace lawyers that the group be allowed to avoid trial on charges that it violated environmental laws and regulations. Hypocrisy, thy name is Greenpeace.

In Iraq, the March 8 New York Times reported that Marsh Arabs, with American cooperation, have been restoring that country's wetlands.

Greenpeace was among the loudest leftwing opponents of any U.S.-led effort to depose Saddam Hussein.

But as an investigation at frontpagemagazine.com revealed, Hussein was one of worst environmental monsters in the history of our planet.

Saddam Hussein systematically drained, dried up and destroyed the vast Tigris-Euphrates wetlands of Iraq to deny his Marsh Arab opponents a homeland where they could hide. This, according to the United Nations Environmental Program, was "an ecological catastrophe comparable to the deforestation of the Amazon and the shrinking of the Aral Sea."

But Greenpeace did everything it could to defend Saddam Hussein and keep this ecological Adolf Hitler who committed genocide against an entire natural eco-system in power.

It's time for genuine environmentalists to see Greenpeace and other pseudo-environmental leftists for what they really are and to withdraw all support and donations from them.

Any group such as Greenpeace that opposed the removal from power of Saddam Hussein is an enemy of Mother Earth. Any group whose politics are that far left is also an enemy of humankind.
