Thirteenth Friday Sennon Feb 15, 1991 President Saddam Hussein has always considered that it is a joke to call this body as the "United Nations". In reality it is the U. S. that is operating the U.

Recently, when the Secretary General of United Nations 4 went to President Saddam Hussein for holding talks with him, the President expressed his opinion that this entire action is being taken to deceive the world, and this is an American ploy.

The manpower being happily provided by the Americans, the British or the Arabs - all this to achieve the objectives of Israel. As a by product of this War, Israel may also have the excuse to occupy certain other parts or parcels of land and later collect a "booty" of many billions of dollars.
