Egyptian paper blames Saddam
February 22nd, 2003
Well here’s a switch: a state-run Egyptian newspaper is blaming Saddam Hussein for bringing the middle east to the edge of war:
In an editorial entitled “The Iraqi Regime Drags the Region into a Destructive War,” Mr. Saddam is condemned for his refusal to co-operate with the United Nations and for presiding over an “arrogant” and “ignorant” regime that remains the chief blockage to a peaceful solution.
[ . . . ]
“A peaceful solution to the crisis is still possible, but the main obstacle is the leadership that was cast upon the Iraqi people and the entire Arab region,” the editorial said.
“The Iraqi leadership is characterized by great pride combined with total ignorance. When these two traits are joined, they cause the disasters and crises that Saddam Hussein’s regime has brought upon us time after time.
“The only one who can stop the war wagon is Saddam Hussein.
“He must stop the games, co-operate with the UN, and answer this question: ‘Where are the chemical and biological weapons that Washington knows Baghdad has?’
For once, someone who isn’t blaming the Americans and the Zionists.
