| Syria bitches about US stance on Iraq |
| 2003-02-02 |
| Syria has strongly criticised the United States, saying the UN resolution on Iraq passed in December does not authorise any country to launch a war against Baghdad. Speaking during a visit by a team from the European Union, Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Shara warned that a US-led attack would bring chaos to the Middle East. As opposed to its current placid state... Mr al-Shara also said this would increase violence and terrorism. The Syrian criticism comes as the US national security advisor, Condoleezza Rice, said Washington expected to administer Iraq for a certain time after Saddam Hussein has been ousted. Mr al-Shara stressed that the current crisis was between the UN and Iraq, and it was not a matter to be dealt with by Washington alone. He said that the US itself must abide by the terms of the UN resolution 1441. Seems like the current problem is due to the fact that Iraq isn't. |
