KUWAIT: Mutairi warns against US plans in area
2003-06-28
KUWAIT CITY : Mohamed Hayef Al-Mutairi, contesting parliamentary elections, recently praised what was published in an Arabic daily a few days ago regarding the comprehensive American plan, as part of what they call ‘reform political and developmental projects in the Gulf’, to intervene in the internal affairs of all Gulf countries.
He's praising the publication, not the plan...
Speaking at his election seminar, Al-Mutairi said, ‘Such American policy in Iraq means the US is planning to stay in Iraq at least for ten years... This can be seen from the two huge buildings which they are going to construct in Iraq for ‘intelligence’ purposes. The aim is to intervene in the affairs of neighbouring countries and control their fortunes. We must be aware of our foreign policy which is an important factor that affects all our affairs. I wish all newspapers were interested in our foreign policy which has social, political and economical effect on our citizens’ Al-Mutairi warned of the dangers threatening the area because of the American plans which best suit the American policy.
No way American plans can benefit both the U.S. and the Gulf nations, if you're an Islamist...
He also warned against the privatisation law. ‘This is one of the plans, which was not recommended by the Americans on behalf of peoples of the area,’ said Al-Mutairi. ‘It’s a Jewish plan because there are certain Jews who devise such political and economical plans for the US to seize the wealth of the Gulf region,’ he added.
Yep. Them Jews is everywhere. Found one under my bed, just last week, in fact...
Al-Mutairi explained so far he sees no Kuwaiti investors who possess fortunes to buy health, education or other sectors. ‘However, the Jews, who control the funds all over the world, can afford these sectors and pay such money,’ said Al-Mutairi. He called on all the educated people in the area to oppose such American plans which he calls most harmful to the region and its wealth. Al-Mutairi says he is astonished at the American call to ‘free’ the Arab women and give them political rights. ‘However, according to US statistics the American women are suffering from all kinds of oppressions — rape, exploiting, beatings, suicides, etc.,’ said Al-Mutairi.
"That sort of thing never happens here, by Gawd!"
‘Such practices against the American women,’ he says, ‘have shattered families and the American society. This has led to loss of principles and values in their society. Do they want the Muslim women to reach this stage?’ he wondered. Al-Mutairi called new members to the National Assembly to concentrate on foreign affairs, especially "if the US manages to achieve its dangerous objectives in the area."
"Yes! We must oppose their nefarious schemes!"
Speaking about the best way to achieve economic reform, since privatisation is not the best policy, Al-Mutairi said, ‘we have to stop monopoly, repair our ports, facilitate trade and offer privilege and licences to Kuwaiti investors.’ Al-Mutairi pointed out privatisation amounts to ‘selling’ the country. ‘Privatisation,’ he said, ‘aims at harming the citizens’ income by imposing taxes and wasting the State’s wealth, which will render citizens jobless.’ He called for increasing the number of specialised applied institutes, particularly those related to the oil sector as well as the establishment of a specialised university in this area.
Right. The gummint knows best. We've seen that working well, over and over...
