Iraq Parliament Votes âNoâ on UN Resolution
The Iraqi Parliament recommended, following a heated session in Baghdad, the rejection of a UN resolution, ordering Baghdad to eliminate its alleged weapons of mass destruction, and threatening a tough response if Iraq fails to do so. The open session, aired at Iraqi television and satellite TV station negated assurances by Arab officials that Iraq will accept Resolution 1441, which was drafted jointly by the United States and Britain. Most people are under no illusions as to what Arab officials are full of... Parliament speaker, Saâdoun Hamadi opened the special session saying, âThe ill intentions in this resolution are flagrant and loud in ignoring all the work that has been achieved in past years.â The issue will now be passed up the line to the Revolutionary Command Council and Sammy himself. He can make his own decision. He describes the Gulf War to himself and to the Iraqi people as a victory — by convoluting logic and reality you can make yourself believe anything. If, in the course of ten years, he's come to really, truly believe his own propaganda line, he'll decide to whip us again... Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-11-12 |
