Iraq war a prelude to forming "Greater Israel": Pak MP
A religious scholar and member of the Pakistani Parliament on Wednesday described the unilateral war on Iraq as a prelude to establishing a Greater Israel in the Middle East. Ooooh! Greater Israel! Oh, hold me, Fatimah! Fayyazur Rehman Alvi, a member of the National Assembly (Lower House of the Parliament), told IRNA here that the US has political and economic objectives in its current aggression on Iraq. In the first place, he said, American leadership would be on the road to materializing its long-drawn plan of establishing a Greater Israel as well as obtaining access to the world's second biggest oil reserves and those of other regional states. He warned that the Islamic world should come out of their slumber as the US-led aggression would not be confined to Iraq but would engulf other nations in the Middle East and Persian Gulf as well. "Arise, ye jihadis!" To a question, he said that the unilateral action against Iraq is part of the US strategy to make Israel the policeman of the region and give the US unrestricted access to the region's economic wealth. By attacking the sovereign and independent Islamic state of Iraq, Alvi observed, US President George W. Bush had proved himself to be the biggest enemy of humanity and the Muslim world. Iraq wasn't and won't be an Islamic state, but we won't go into that. But we know which side this guy's on, and he's in the Pak NA, and I've got a pretty good idea which side the majority of the Pak NA is on. And I think Bush's memory is as good as mine.
