I was trying to stick with the facts. Your arguments make no sense. But you're entitled to your opinions and I certainly have no interest in debating you. Believe what you like.

Iraq can destroy Israel, defense minister says By GHASSAN al-KADI BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Iraqi Defense Minister Lt. Gen. Sultan Hashem Ahmed said his country could destroy Israel and that it was ready to confront any aggression against the Arabs, the weekly Al-Zawraa newspaper said Thursday. "Iraq can destroy Israel because it possesses a large combat experience in dealing with all possibilities," Ahmed told the newspaper in an interview to be published next week. He said Iraq would not hesitate to send its armed forces to defend an Arab country targeted by Israel. He said the Iraq military was prepared to deal with any potential aggression. Ahmed also said there could be no peace in the Middle East until Israel returned the land to the Palestinians. Ahmed said there was no military coordination between Iraq and the other Arabs over a potential conflict with Israel, but said that several states, including Syria, were satified with Iraq's position on the violence in the Middle East. "The Palestinian cause will not be solved until the Jews leave Palestine and its (Arab) people return to their homeland," he said. Last month, some 1.6 million Iraqis reportedly responded to a call by President Saddam Hussein and volunteered to fight alongside Palestinians against Israeli forces in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. Iraq also demanded that the United Nations deduct $900 million from its oil revenues in support of the Palestinian Intifada. The United Nations, which imposed sanctions on Iraq in 1990, allows Iraq to sell oil in exchange for food. Ahmed also said his country was prepared for any future escalation of violence against the United States and Britain, which patrol the northern and souther no-fly zones over Iraq. "Maybe the technology used by the Americans in their continued aggressions against Iraq is highly developed, but the field combat experience that the Iraqi forces have gained allows it to confront and even surpass the American technology in the battlefield," he said. Ahmed headed the Iraqi delegation to the 1991 talks on the Kuwait-Iraq border that resulted in a cease-fire with the U.S.-led allied forces after 42 days of fighting during the Gulf War.
