Sabri predicts humiliating defeat for aggressors
Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri said on Monday that the US and Britain have fallen in the trap of their false dreams and advised the coalition forces to surrender themselves to the Iraqis. Uhhh... Hokay. We give up. Speaking at a press conference, Sabri predicted humiliating defeat for the coalition forces due to strong resistance by Iraqi armed and popular forces, including tribesmen and villagers. He said Baghdad would treat the British and US forces according to Geneva convention and Islamic and Arab values. Sabri said the aggressors are a minority and isolated group and in fact representatives of the Mafia groups, Israel and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The Iraqi minister said Iraq enjoys Arab nations' support, who call on their governments to close their stances in favor of Iraq. "We have acted through the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), and Arab League; NAM has called for a meeting by the UN General Assembly to work for cessation of war and withdrawal of aggressors from Iraq," said the Iraqi minister. That's a listing of the most ineffectual organizations around, isn't it? He accused Israel of contributing forces to the war on his country, saying it is a tangible sign of Israel's direct role in the war. He added that an Israeli missile had landed in Iraqi territory in the past couple of days. "We tell them that we will turn Iraqi deserts to their mass graves and they will face no fate but death," said Sabri. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-03-31 |
