Iraq Tells Arab Leaders: Do More to Stop the War
Baghdad told Arab leaders on Tuesday they were not doing enough to halt the invasion of Iraq, urging them to stop oil exports and to block the use of their airspace and territorial waters by U.S. and British forces. Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan said a condemnation of the U.S.-led war against Iraq by Arab foreign ministers who met in Cairo on Monday was "meaningless" and that concrete action was needed from the Arab world to try to halt the war."C'mon, you guys! We're dyin' in here!" "Why don't they decide to suspend oil exports to the states who are launching aggression against us?" an angry Ramadan said at a news conference in Baghdad. "Why don't they close the embassies of the states who are committing aggression against Iraq? Why don't they block their waters to American and British vessels and why don't they close their airspace to American and British warplanes and missiles?" "They don't care. They just don't care. And after all we've done for them..." Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-03-25 |
