Airstrikes against Iraq

The Arab masses and large segments of public opinion denounced the feeble and silly excuses which the American Pentagon used in their news conference and the different lies and fabrications about what they called "self defense" and the protection of their pilots and aircraft from Iraqi air defenses.

They are fooling the world's public opinion about Iraq's sovereign right in protecting its air space from the aggressive American and British armed sorties and carrying out their new barbaric crime.

It is a crime that will not pass without a deterring and decisive response to the American oppressive aggressors, to teach the new-old American-Zionist administration new lessons in steadfastness and jihad (holy struggle), repulse the aggression, break the back of the aggressor and teach the son of a serpent George Bush a lesson that he will never forget as he exposes his deeply rooted hatred of Iraq and its genius historic leadership and threaten in a base manner that matches the immorality of the George Walker Bush administration that has in its service such Zionists or Zionist-inclined people like new Defense Secretary Rumsfield, his aides and advisers.

There are also the criminals Cheney and Colin Powell and others. They still gloat about the unjust 30th aggression in 1991 and repeat the claims of that war in their new aggression through which they absurdly want to put the clock back.

The new American-British-Zionist aggression against Iraq -- the nation, the struggler and the patient -- came as an expression of the anger of the American tyrant over the increased Arab and international support to Iraq's right to the lifting of sanctions and a halt to aggression against it together with its wonderful support and backing to the brave Palestinian Intefadeh.
