Or would their rulers, who became a toy in the hands of the criminal Zionism which usurped the land of Palestinians and Arabs, change Americans’ feelings into new terrorist projects against the world in a way that serves the Jewish Zionist greedy for illegal money and innocent blood?”. “Let the American people remember that no one crossed the Atlantic Ocean carrying a weapon against them over history, but it was America itself that crossed the Atlantic Ocean carrying death, destruction and offensive exploitation to the whole world. With all this, we hope people of America could remember that the souls that died with the Americanweapon and American conspiracies could ascend to the Almighty God complaining of America’s injustice. The Almighty God is capable of seeing and when the God wants to punish, no one could prevent,” the President said. “The one that does not want to harvest evil must not plant evil. He who considers the souls of his people precious and dear should remember that the souls of other people in the world are dear too. America is exporting evil not to where its armies placed only but also wherever its movies reach. American people should remember all this, if they remember that they would save their security and the international security from their rulers. But if all that events that hit the U.S were interior affair, the Americans themselves would be better than others in diagnosing the disease.” the President said.

“We, as Arab Moslems, give first priority in our struggle to liberate Palestine from the Jews and the Zionism … The Arabs have the right to save their lands and sanctities from the criminal Zionists who occupied Palestine,” President Saddam Hussein said. 

“We consider Russia as a friend to Arabs and we are desirous of this friendship… We are keen on our friendship with Russia and this policy is not governed by circumstances of sanctions but had run so since we led Iraq after July revolution.. this relation was not based on Iraq’s interests only but on the interests of the whole nation” the President said. 

“As regards terrorism, Iraq was the first which suffers from terrorism from Iran where many Iraqi officials suffered from terrorist acts that targeted their lives but the world did not talk about this; nevertheless, we combated terrorism by depending on God. We do not consider Jihad against the Jews to drive them away from Palestine a terrorism, not even Jihad practiced by an occupied country and its struggle to liberate itself from the colonizers as terrorism.. We do not consider terrorism as acts done by some persons or organizations only but what some states have done in this connection such as the U.S bombing which killed Iraqi children, women, the elderly and civilians and destroyed their houses,” he said.

“We consider American acts, which kill Iraqi civilians; children, women and elwithout any justification or any authorization from the Security Council, as acts of terrorism. We also consider the Zionist military operations against the people of Palestine, continuation of the embargo on Iraq, the use of threats and paying bribes to collect some countries stances to stand against other countries as acts of terrorism,” the president added.

“America and the Zionism had sculptured terrorism since decades of years. America should now return to the international law if it has remains of wisdom because the international law would ensure its interests and keep all away from terrorism sources,” the President said.

“They are talking now saying that all Arab countries agreed to condemn terrorism except Iraq… I explained our stance but Bush wants to condole with him and if I made this I would not respect my people because Bush is a President of a country that launches a war against us and bombs us in a vicious terrorist form… If I condoled with him this would be a hypocrisy and we are not hypocrites, Offering a condolence is a kind of courtesy among countries, yet we condoled with small organizations in America and an American figure who came to condole us on the U.S aggressions on Iraq,” President Saddam Hussein said.
