Any US attack against Iraq bound to fail: Aziz
2002-08-26
Any US military action against Iraq is doomed to failure because the embattled population is immune to such aggressions, Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz warned.
That doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry, but the coherence quotient is down somewhere in the subzero area...
"Any adventure or attacks the US administration might undertake against Iraq will be completely doomed to failure," Aziz said in talks in Baghdad with former US attorney general Ramsey Clark.
Because...? Let's have it...
"The resistance of the Iraqi people is the sort to doom all plans drawn up by imperialism to failure," Aziz said Monday.
So there we have it, and it still makes no sense. But since he was talking to Ramsey Clark, I guess it doesn't have to make any sense...
He warned that George W. Bush's administration "will not achieve its aggressive objectives because it will find (in Iraq) a warrior people headed by a fighting commander."
Just like last time...
Clark, who visits Iraq regularly, confirmed his "support to the fight of the Iraqi people to put an end to the unjust embargo (imposed on Baghdad for invading Kwuait in 1990) and their resistance to (US) threats."
Ramsey just can't stay away. Deep down, he wishes he could be a dictator, too...
"Protests are organised in the United States and elsewhere in the world to oppose Washington's desire to launch an offensive against Iraq," Clark said, quoted by the official INA news agency. "Public opinion in America and the world is against US plans of attack."
Ummm... I think most public opinion in the U.S. is wondering why the hell we haven't gotten it over with yet. But Ramsey'll keep working on it, and maybe he can get some more goobers out there hollering "No blood for oil!"

#3  It always seemed suspicious to me that lefty conspiracy theories implicate practically everyone then living on Earth as a suspect in the Martin Luther King assassination; except their idiotarian ally, Ramsey Clark, who was Attorney General of the United States at the time and, therefore, J. Edgar Hoover's boss. During World War 2, Clark's father, future Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark, was the Justice Department official in charge of rounding up Japanese-Americans on the west coast. I have always wondered what effect this had on then-15-year-old Ramsey, if any.

#2  God, please have a JDAM or two with Aziz's name on it! In my wildest dream I have Aziz and Ramsey in the same room doing the "HateAmerika" polka together when an unfortunate targetting success strikes

#1  I was wondering when the Rammer would pop up. Nice that he can find something to do with his time. People wonder about Ashcroft; it still boggles my mind that the Rammer used to be AG.
