| Ben Bella Slams U.S. Hegemony |
| 2002-12-18 |
| Former Algerian president Ahmed Ben Bella "Yasss... Went out this morning and shot a few wogs before breakfast this morning..." In exclusive interview with IslamOnline on the sidelines of the opening session of a two-day conference on looming U.S.-led war on Iraq, the Algerian leader asserted that crystal-clear and unquestionable American purpose of striking Iraq is to control Arab oil. That was why we struck Afghanistan, too... The United States has come to the conviction that to control Arab and Iraq oil it must control Islam and that is what they are trying to do, he warned. "Y'see, it has nothing to do with dead people, or crazed killers with turbans..." According to Ben Bella, the American people are the only power capable of curbing the new Imperialism championed by Bush. "Rise up, ye oppressed! Rise up in your wrath! Throw off your chains!" He underlined that solving the Iraqi crisis requires all efforts and support, stressing that it is an issue of major importance to the entire Arab world. And for a bunch of kleptocrats it's a matter of self-preservation... The former Algerian president underlined that the key to end the hegemony policies of the Bush administration is in the hands of the world peoples, including the American people. "Rise up, ye oppressed!... Oh. Already said that." Asked whether Arab peoples have become helpless, Ben Bella heaped the blame on Arab rulers. Like he used to be, until he got tossed, 35 years ago. |

| #3 I don't understand, can someone explain to me what the word "colonial" means when refering to the U.S.? Does the U.S. have any colonies? Is it refering to McDonald's? I knew those BigMacs were nothing but trouble. |

| #2 It has always been about oil.... They own it, we provide the technology to produce it, we pay the cost of production and then some, then we burn it. ps: They keep the money, it's called commerce dorf |

| #1 It's funny- if it's really All About Oil, wouldn't it be so much easier to subvert and control Mexico and South America? |
