-Caveat Lector- >From ArabicNews.CoM Iraqi paper: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia are to pay dear price for US-British strikes Iraq, Politics, 1/27/99 The Iraqi daily al-Joumhureyah (Iraqi newspapers reflect official positions) said on Tuesday that Kuwait and Saudi Arabia will pay a heavy price for the raids launched by the US and British planes on Iraq. The paper asserted that Iraq will continue real confrontations by all available means against the no-fly zone imposed by "brutal force" in northern and southern Iraq. The paper warned both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia that Iraq's anger will eliminate "the rotten heads," sooner or later. The Iraqi daily called upon Arab peoples saying: "Sons of Arabism and Islam; you have to revenge your dignity, holy shrines, security, interests and sublime values." Iraqi parliament criticizes Kuwait and Saudi Arabia Iraq, Politics, 1/27/99 The Iraqi National Council (Parliament) on Tuesday called upon the Iraqi government to withdraw recognition of Iraq's border with Kuwait, in reaction to the raids carried out by the US and British troops on Iraq. In an emergency session it held on Tuesday morning, the council called for abrogating the decision taken by the Iraqi government in 1994 recognizing the borders between Iraq and Kuwait as set by the UN in 1993. Other Iraqi National Council members denounced the military facilities provided by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait for US and British warplanes which are carrying sorties in the no-fly zone area in southern Iraq. Other Iraqi parliamentarians called upon the Iraqi government to freeze UN resolutions relating to eliminating the Iraqi weapons. More parliamentarians accused Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait of taking part in the British air raids in Iraq and called for "setting up an Arab court to try them." + + + + + << This is not unexpected. With the history of the Arabian states being one that has relied on Western resources to prop up what can be termed as "illegitimate" governments (in the sense the governments are not necessarily representative of the people)(rather exist to serve the needs and desires of the rulers), a lot depends on how well the existing governments can contain their own populations. A<>E<>R >> >From Associated Press Wednesday January 27 11:05 AM ET Iraqis Urge Saudi, Kuwait Coups <Picture: AP Photo> AP Photo By LEON BARKHO Associated Press Writer BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Iraq's parliament today urged the people of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to overthrow their rulers for supporting last month's U.S.-British airstrikes on Iraq. A statement issued at the end of a two-day session of the 250-member house called the two countries ``lackeys of the United States and Britain.'' Lawmakers in Iraq generally echo the official thinking, and parliamentary debates are seen as an outlet for government opinion. Today's parliamentary statement will be sent to President Saddam Hussein for ratification. The statement said Iraq has given up hopes of support from Arab governments after their foreign ministers, who met in Cairo on Sunday, failed to denounce the Dec. 16-19 bombing campaign. Iraq will now focus on ``Arab masses who stood against the December aggression and shook thrones and chairs'' across the Arab world. Pro-Iraq demonstrations swept the streets in many Arab capitals during the bombing, which followed Iraq's refusal to cooperate with a U.N. commission overseeing the dismantling of its weapons of mass destruction. Until the commission certifies that Iraq is free of such weapons, the U.N. Security Council refuses to lift trade sanctions imposed in wake of Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait, which led to the 1991 Gulf War. Iraq's parliament also asked the government to formally demand compensation from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait for aiding the United States and Britain in their attacks on Iraq since 1991. It said the ``Arab masses are called upon to stage a revolution against these agent regimes.'' Saddam made a similar call for overthrowing pro-American Arab governments early this month. Some of the 30 lawmakers who gave speeches also demanded that the government withdraw its recognition of Kuwait and stop all forms of cooperation with the United Nations. ``Kuwaiti and Saudi rulers are traitors and we have to topple them,'' said one lawmaker, Fadhil Saleh. Another, Sadeeq Muhammad, said ``we have to urge Arab masses to hit the Saudi and Kuwaiti regimes with everything at their disposal.'' Only one member counseled caution, urging his colleagues to ``try to be more sensible and practical'' in their approach. Youssef Hamdan, a former communist, told the parliament to stop thinking ``of rescinding the recognition of Kuwait'' and to put a halt to the jabs at Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. ``There is no need for this smear campaign,'' he said and warned that failing to abide by international obligations may throw Iraq ``into another war of grave consequences.'' ~~~~~~~~~~~~ A<>E<>R The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Forwarded as information only; no endorsement to be presumed + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.
