Iraq would "teach US lesson" if it attacked: Aziz
Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz said Baghdad would "teach (the Americans) a lesson" if they attacked.We learned a lesson last time: don't stop until the dictator on the other side is doorknob dead... Iraq did not accept the conditions spelled out by US President George W. Bush in his UN speech. Didn't expect they would. Welcome to the Offspring of All Battles... But Aziz, in remarks to Dubai-based Saudi MBC television, said the Iraqi leadership had yet to formulate Baghdad's "final positions" on the current standoff over its alleged pursuit of weapons of mass destruction. "Iraq does not accept Bush's conditions. He wants to control Iraq, he wants Iraq's oil, he wants to protect Israel," Aziz charged on Friday. Don't forget the part about wanting to see Sammy dangling from a lamp post... However, he added that he would not spell out Iraq's "final positions" on the current standoff, since "Iraq has a leadership that meets and decides" policies. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-09-13 |
