Al-Sharif sez for Sammy to get out of town...
2002-09-24
Al-Sharif Ali Bin al-Hussein, who is demanding the return back of monarchy to Iraq, has called on the Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq and to resort to Saudi Arabia or Egypt in order to avoid Iraq a military attack in which he sees the US as serious to make.
It could happen... I doubt it will, but it could.
In a statement to the Kuwaiti daily al-Qabas issued on Saturday, al-Sharif Ali said that his return back to Iraq will be very soon and within the next 120 coming days. He said that his cousin Prince Hassan Bin Talal, over whom rumors were spread that foreign sides are preparing him to assume the throne in Iraq, will not arrived in Baghdad before him.
Are they having a race? Whoever gets there first gets to be king?
He refused the formation of an Iraqi government in exiles "because it will be names on papers." He also criticized what is called the Arab solution to the Iraqi question, noting "if we have waited for an Arab solution to the Kuwait issue, it would have remained ( Kuwait ) occupied until now."
He called that one right...
He also ruled the eruption of a civil war in Iraq following Saddam Hussein, noting that history witnessed that the Iraqi people have not fought between themselves.
On the other hand, they do have a history of abusing the corpses of deposed leaders on national teevee...
