| Sammy sez Iraq has fulfilled all commitments |
| 2002-08-27 |
| President Saddam Hussein said Iraq had fulfilled all its commitments to UN Security Council resolutions slapped on it for invading Kuwait in 1990. "Iraq has fulfilled all the commitments imposed on it by the UN Security Council but (the council) has not fulfilled the commitments contained in its own resolutions, notably the respect of Iraq's independence and sovereignty and the lifting of the unjust embargo," Saddam told the official INA news agency Tuesday. Yeah. Damn them. Saddam added that US threats to strike Iraq, which Washington accuses of developing weapons of mass destruction and harbouring terrorists, "are not aimed only at Iraq but the entire Arab world." "They're comin' to get you guys, too. Just you wait and see..." Any settlement of the problem between Iraq and the United Nations "must rely on international law and the UN charter," Saddam said during talks in Baghdad with Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jaber al-Thani. The settlement "must not be biased" and must end up with "all parties fulfilling their reciprocal commitments," the Iraqi leader said. "Yup. We can talk about the interpretation of all that stuff for years. Ummm... By the way, you guys gonna use that uranium? We want to, uhhh... make some table lamps and we heard it's really good for weighting the bases." INA reported that Sheikh Hamad informed Saddam of the "rejection by all Arab countries, including Qatar, of US threats, which constitute a danger for the whole region". Of course... "We hope that a military operation will not take place, that Iraq and the United Nations agree on international resolutions and settle the issue of weapons inspectors, and that the latter start their work in Iraq," Sheikh Hamad told reporters after his one-day visit to Baghdad. We hope that military operations don't take place, too. We hope that some dark and stormy night the Iraqis decide they'd be better off without Sammy and the Tikriti mafia and make them all have "terrible accidents." If that doesn't happen, too bad, huh? |
