Der Krieg ist der Vater der Dinge. -HERAKLIT
[IMRA: Within hours of the devastating attacks against America, supporters of the Palestinians - including some Jewish pseudo intellectuals - began their "drop Israel" campaign, arguing that American support for the Jewish State had made it a target. Saddam Hussein's remarks below make it clear that this is NOT the case. Support for Israel is just one "crime" in a long laundry list of "crimes" that all share a common thread: Western Culture.
A critical element in the success of the Bush administration's efforts to build a "coalition against terror" is if it takes this message to heart. Succumb the the temptation to treat Israel as a pariah state to be left out of the coalition so as not to offend the sensibilities of the "moderate" Arabs and the program will quickly turn into a farce. The truth is that the "moderate" Arab states WILL stand in a coalition with Israel if they are serious about facing the common enemy. If Egypt is serious about facing the enemy - an enemy that certainly threatens it as well - then the most that they need to justify their standing in a coalition that includes Israel is a CLEAR and unequivocable message from America that this there is no "No Jews" option.]

Leader President Saddam Husayn, may God watch over him, has met with Abd-al-Tawwab Mulla Huwaysh, deputy prime minister and minister of military industrialization, a group of fighters, engineers, and researchers in the Military Industrialization Organization [MIO].
At the outset of the meeting, Abd-al-Tawwab Mulla Huwaysh reviewed the strides made by the MIO mujahidin through unique backing from and coordination with the other competent authorities regarding the preparation of requirements and the implementation of the creative ideas concerning some technical details that were finalized by the open Iraqi minds in a way to upgrade their competence in the field and reinforce the mujahidins' capabilities. Consequently, this would create solid pillars that will contribute, along with the other economic and tactical channels, to confronting the evil aggressors, making their plots backfire on them, breaking their will, destroying their empty arrogance, and foiling their miserable plots and blockade.
The attending mujahidin pledged to his excellency, may God grant him victory, to make, along with their colleagues and comrades in the fields of action and jihad, further efforts, backed by creativeness and a spirit of devotion and insistence, to serve great Iraq, deriving resolution and enthusiasm from leader President Saddam Husayn, may God protect him, and inspiring his excellency's guidance and enlightened thought. They conveyed to his excellency, may God watch over him, greetings from the mujahidin and wishes to his excellency of continued good health and long life full of happiness and glory.
His excellency, may God protect him, asked the conferees to convey his greetings to their families and brothers in the fields of pride and honor. He lauded the spirit of cooperation that characterized their various achievements and activities.
His excellency, made God protect him, commented on the explosions that occurred in Washington and New York yesterday, by saying the following:
Regardless of the conflicting human feelings about what happened in the United States yesterday, the United States reaps the thorns that its rulers have planted in the world. These thorns have not only caused the feet and hearts of certain people to bleed, but also caused the eyes of people to bleed--those people who wept a lot over their dead. The United States has harvested their lives, not leaving a place without the people there having a symbolic monument indicating the criminal action of the United States against them.
This was the case in Japan, which was the first to suffer from the capabilities of nuclear destruction on which the United States prides itself. This also includes what it did in Vietnam and Iraq and what it did against the Russian nuclear submarine. Now, it carries out criminal acts by supporting criminal and racist Zionism against the women, men, young people, elders and children of our valiant Palestinian people.
Will the American peoples save themselves and save the world with them from the evils of their rulers and their terrorist crimes against the world? Or will their rulers, who have become a toy in the hands of criminal world Zionism and its accursed, freak entity, which has usurped the land of Palestine and the land of the Arabs, turn the sentiments of the Americans into new terrorist plans against the world in a way that serves Zionist-Jewish greed for unlawful funds and innocent blood? The American peoples should remember that, throughout history, no one crossed the Atlantic to come to them, carrying weapons against them. They are the ones who crossed the Atlantic carrying with them death, destruction, and ugly exploitation to the whole world. Despite this, we hope that the peoples of the United States will remember that the souls that were killed with US weapons and US machinations and plots can rise to God, Lord of Heavens and Earth, to complain about the injustice of the United States. In fact, God, the Omnipotent and Great, can see. When God strikes, no one can stand in the way of His power.
The one who does not want to reap evil must not plant evil. Those who consider the lives of their people as precious and dear must remember that the lives of people in the world are also precious and dear to their families. The United States exports evil, in terms of corruption and criminality, not only to any place to which its armies travel, but also to any place where its movies get. Therefore, the American peoples should remember all of this. If they remember this, they will save their security and the security of the world from their rulers. However, if what befell the United States is a domestic affair, then the people of the country could diagnose the disease better than others.
