| Iraqi VP: Persians no better'n Zionists... |
| 2002-09-01 |
| Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan has fired off a violent tirade at Iran, accusing Persians of always allying themselves with Zionists against the Arab world. "You will not find a single episode in history when the Persians (Iranians) have cooperated with the Arabs against the Zionists," Ramadan said Saturday night. "At every stage of the conflict between the (Arab) or Muslim nation and the Zionists, the Persians have been the allies of the Zionists." That statement comes as a real suprise to Hezbollah. They're standing around right now, scratching their turbans, saying "There isn't? What the hell is Lebanon?" "The designs of the Persians in the Arab world are no less than those of the Zionists, but despite that this country (Iran) remains our neighbour and we have to work towards normalising our relations." "Until we can kill them all..." Ramadan had been asked if he foresaw an alliance between Iraq, Syria and Iran against US threats to oust the Baghad regime. "Some people talk about an alliance as if Iran had proposed the idea and was waiting only for us to say yes," the vice president went on. "We should not fool ourselves when talking about such an alliance." I'll bet it really hurt when he was dropped on his head... Ramadan recalled that Tehran had refused to return planes which Iraq sent to Iran to spare them damage during the 1991 Gulf war. "Before the 1991 assault, we asked Iran if we could send our planes to them and until now they tell us that the return of these aircraft requires a Seurity Council resolution." Iraq seeks the return of 113 military aircraft and 33 civilian planes, but Iran says it holds only 22 Iraqi vessels. Somebody stole some of them, the rest fell apart... Ramadan also accused Iran of encouraging an uprising by Shiites in southern Iraq at the end of the Gulf war. "The damage sustained by Iraqi towns because of their behaviour was more severe than that inflicted by the missiles and bombs the American planes dropped during the attack," he said. That's because we concentrated on killing Iraqis soldiers and the Shiites didn't. Saddam was ten years old when, in 1947, he went to live with a maternal uncle in Baghdad. The uncle, Kayrallah Tulfah, would later become mayor of Baghdad. Uncle Kayrallah had a few years previously been cashiered from the Iraqi army for participating in an attempted pro-Nazi coup attempt. This had been put down by the British, leaving him with an abiding hatred for âImperialismâ and other forms of interference with his violent instincts. In 1981 the Iraqi government publishing house distributed a scholarly work written by Uncle Kayrallah entitled Three Whom God Should Not Have Created: Persians, Jews and Flies. |
