Washington’s rhetoric smacks of hypocrisy. Washington’s motives are greed for power. Washington’s methods are to invent a tissue of lies to stimulate a policy of demonology which is easily swallowed by its semi-literate population.

Iraq responds to the growing hostility by Washington by defiantly stating that it has the means to defend itself against any aggression.

The official Iraqi daily newspaper, Al-Iraq, has issued a declaration against what it calls the “administration of evil” (the administration led by George W. Bush). Answering the repeating insinuation by Washington that Iraq will be attacked, the message states: “Iraq has high capacities to defend itself.”

“Besides the obstinacy of the administration of evil finding pretexts (to attack Iraq) while its daily aggression from the air continues, while it steals our money and blockades our country, we are able to defend ourselves.”
