Washington abandoning Kurds
The U.S. administration has deliberately sought to create an abnormal situation by establishing the so-called Operation Provide Comfort or no-fly zone and by directly interfering to obstruct the 1991 national dialog, which sought to entrench the autonomy experience.
Washington has deliberately played the Kurdish card once again in order to raise a media clamor, continue the embargo and try to distort Iraq's image, employing double standards in dealing with the Kurdish issue. This was obvious in Washington's insolent support for the Turkish incursion into northern Iraq and in its legitimization of Ankara's persecution of Turkish Kurds at a time when it was shedding crocodile tears over the Iraqi Kurds.
The abnormal situation and bloody fighting in the Kurdistan autonomous region are not only regrettable but also raise many questions about the situation in the northern part of the homeland, which has turned into a battlefield and an area for agents and spies. Those harmed are our Kurdish people, who are suffering from the absence of security and order and social chaos.
The U.S. conspiracy tools in the northern part of the homeland, represented by the hireling Jalali and Talabani cliques, have never learned from the lessons of the past and from what is going on in the lobbies of U.S. policy. They failed to learn these lessons at a time when the voice of truth, represented by President Saddam Hussein's advice after the chapter of treason, warned against the consequences of drifting behind the game Washington is playing in its open hostility toward Iraq.
With the approach of the date for lifting the embargo, whether willingly or unwillingly, Washington is about to abandon its agent tools in northern Iraq. Therefore, a disgraceful fate awaits all agents and those who are tampering with Iraq's unity and sovereignty.
There is still time to benefit from the president's call on all those who deviated from the right path to return to the base of virtue and nationalism.
