[• Iraq claims it has found an Israeli missile in Baghdad and accuses Israel of] taking part in this aggression against Iraq, ... Israel is not engaged in this war in any way. |
[Iraq has offered to allow the return of U.N. weapons inspectors.] Now that Iraq has accepted the return of U.N. inspectors, we will all be able to see how they work, ... In our past experience with them -- 1991-1998 -- Iraq used to ask some of the inspection teams to do their job in accordance with the declared goals of the Security Council -- but some of the inspectors went on doing intelligence and espionage work that had nothing to do with the official mandate of the inspection teams. |
America's allegations that Iraq has links to terrorism are all lies to hide America's true intentions, ... America's accusations that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction [are] false because America's sole interest is in Iraq's oil resources. |
He (President Bush) rehashed a lot of anti-Iraq propaganda, ... He has no evidence at all; ... the American administration used such accusations against Iraq to justify their killing of the Iraqi population. |
He pretended to care for the people of Iraq after he and other presidents before him have killed by the use of weapons, including depleted uranium, and by the blockade which is now more than 12 years old, more than 1 million and 700,000 innocent Iraqis out of a population of 25 million citizens, |
His speech is another indication of frustration and big failure, of disappointment and desperation, and by that he is pushing himself to the, over the cliff -- just like Blair is being pushed down from over a cliff, |
I hereby declare before you that Iraq is clear of all nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, |
If the U.N. secretary-general withdraws the inspectors from Baghdad, this means that the secretary-general has abandoned its own responsibility in maintaining peace and security in the world. |
If the U.S. administration sticks to international law and listens carefully to the world public opinion and to the opinion of its own people, it should not embark on any aggression against Iraq, |
If they [U.S. and British] go further in the aggression, they will increase their losses, and the rift between them and the Arabs and Muslims will be bigger, ... They will increase in the hatred and the feelings of hatred between them and the Arabs and Muslims and all the people of the world. |
If they continue to be stubborn with their aggression, we will attack them with all they have, ... No one will be safe except for those who surrender to us on the battlefield. |
In Iraq, we are ready in two fronts, |
Iraq has offered all efforts required to implement Resolution 1441, and regrettably the [inspectors'] statement mentions a charge saying Iraq has not genuinely accepted the disarmament of its weapons, |
It can be described as a declaration of war not only on Iraq but on the United Nations, ... This draft resolution undermines the basic principles of the United Nations charter. It also undermines the relevant Security Council resolutions about Iraq. |
It is a dressing up of a rejected proposal, an aggressive plan for war. It polishes up a resolution rejected by the vast majority of the Security Council. |
