| Iraq to resume oil exports |
| 2002-05-05 |
| Iraq said Sunday it had decided to resume oil exports in three days' time, on May 8, after a one-month-long suspension in protest against Israel's incursions into Palestinian cities in the West Bank. Saddam also called on fellow Arab Muslim producers on April 22 to back Baghdad's export ban. He suggested that other nations cut output by 50 percent with a complete ban on sales to the United States and Israel. Nobody else joined that particular jihad, and now they've gotta buy groceries. The advantage of being Saddam Hussein is that you never have to feel stoopid, no matter how stoopid you look. |
