As Nelson Mandela has said, America is the only threat to world peace. And clearly,

Israel is the greatest threat to peace in the Middle East. At this moment,

what neighboring country is shouting that Saddam is a threat to it?

 

 

Powell, the Running Dog, Raps

By Marvin X

His speech to the United Nations Security Council was detailed and eloquent, but full of sound and fury signifying nothing but America's desire to colonize Middle East oil fields.

First, we should understand clearly that America and her European allies are at the root of Iraq's supply pool of nuclear, chemical and germ warfare materials. When Iraq used the American-supplied germ and chemical agents against the Kurds and Iranians, America supported him and applauded him, especially in the mass murder of the Iranians who were seen as a greater threat than America's good friend Saddam.

The most important question is whether Saddam is a threat to his neighbors and especially to America. We know he is absolutely no threat to America whatsoever. Regarding his neighbors, the Security Council member from Syria clearly stated Iraq was no threat to countries in the region based on the consensus of the countries who met in Turkey recently. As Nelson Mandela has said, America is the only threat to world peace. And clearly, Israel is the greatest threat to peace in the Middle East. At this moment, what neighboring country is shouting that Saddam is a threat to it?

Regarding Iraq's connection to terrorists, clearly the so-called Al Ansar operating in northern Iraq is under America's sphere of influence not Baghdad's. The Al Ansar operates under Kurdish control that is protected by America. We understand US Special forces are operating in northern Iraq at this moment. Why haven't they moved on the Al Ansar? Why is Powell pretending Saddam has control over them?

Finally, why shouldn't Iraq hide its weapons since it has no choice but to use them on the Americans who have declared their intent to use nuclear weapons on them and we have clear evidence that America will do so as she did on the Japanese.
