Any US attack against Iraq bound to fail: Aziz
Any US military action against Iraq is doomed to failure because the embattled population is immune to such aggressions, Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz warned. That doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry, but the coherence quotient is down somewhere in the subzero area... "Any adventure or attacks the US administration might undertake against Iraq will be completely doomed to failure," Aziz said in talks in Baghdad with former US attorney general Ramsey Clark. Because...? Let's have it... "The resistance of the Iraqi people is the sort to doom all plans drawn up by imperialism to failure," Aziz said Monday. So there we have it, and it still makes no sense. But since he was talking to Ramsey Clark, I guess it doesn't have to make any sense... He warned that George W. Bush's administration "will not achieve its aggressive objectives because it will find (in Iraq) a warrior people headed by a fighting commander." Just like last time... Clark, who visits Iraq regularly, confirmed his "support to the fight of the Iraqi people to put an end to the unjust embargo (imposed on Baghdad for invading Kwuait in 1990) and their resistance to (US) threats." Ramsey just can't stay away. Deep down, he wishes he could be a dictator, too... "Protests are organised in the United States and elsewhere in the world to oppose Washington's desire to launch an offensive against Iraq," Clark said, quoted by the official INA news agency. "Public opinion in America and the world is against US plans of attack." Ummm... I think most public opinion in the U.S. is wondering why the hell we haven't gotten it over with yet. But Ramsey'll keep working on it, and maybe he can get some more goobers out there hollering "No blood for oil!" Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-08-26 |
