| Yemen speaker blasts US's 'war on terror' |
| 2002-12-16 |
| Arab News Washington is unleashing a war of âterrorâ against all Muslims and the threat to attack Iraq is the start of a wider campaign against Arabs, Yemenâs Parliament speaker said in remarks published yesterday. Oh, hell. He noticed. The jig's up... âAmerica claims to be fighting terror but is practicing it ... The war it is launching is a crusader war âagainst all Arabs and Muslimsâ, Sheikh Abdullah Al-Ahmar told Okaz daily. âAmerica is showing open hostility to all Arab and Muslim regimes and states, including Saudi Arabia ... American hostility ... is targeting everything Islamic.â So far it's only everything Islamist. But keep pushing it, pal... This has created a feeling of hatred toward the United States among Arabs and Muslims, as a result of US hostility and policies of double-standard in the Middle East, he said. They hate it when they can't have their way. Ahmar warned that the future will be âdark and badâ for all Arabs and Muslims if the United States attacks Iraq. âAmerica will not limit its campaign to Iraq. It will be just the beginning and war will then be extended to all Arab countries.â Only the backward kleptocracies that chop people's heads off. |

| #4 "...including Saudi Arabia..." ? Considering that almost all of the non=Paletinian terrorists currently sought are associated with Wahhabi, and Wahhabi is a Saud establishment, that should be especially them - and they know it, and can read maps (bases in Iraq put us lots closer), which is why they are suddenly soft-pedaling at least some of their policies. |
