The Gulf Crisis and New World Order — Page 147
The Gulf Crisis & The New World Order This is an awesome international plan, and all this paraphernalia that is being used these days is directed towards beautifying this plan deceptively before it is unfolded to the world. SADDAM HUSSEIN HAS ONLY ONE OPTION OPEN TO HIM The question that arises again is that why can President Saddam Hussein not discern this plain reality. ? Why can he not perceive it, and why is he insisting that he is not prepared to withdraw from Kuwait on the prescribed conditions? Among other things, I think, the evacuation of Kuwait by Iraq is not the ultimate objective. It has been decided that Iraq would be completely disarmed and rendered powerless. Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait is the first step. That is why they do not promise that if this withdrawal is achieved then we will not invade Iraq. Nor do they say that then we will end the world's boycott and lift economic sanctions. They do not say that we will not destroy or interfere with your factories producing materials for chemical warfare. They do not say that we will not make further demands or add further pressure to put an end to your nuclear power facilities. But in spite of not saying all this, it is implied in every context that there is something that would be done to Iraq once it withdraws from Kuwait. And Iraq knows it very well that it is no more a question of withdrawal from Kuwait: even if Iraq withdraws from Kuwait, this act would not fulfil those wishes which have prompted these countries to support Kuwait, until Iraq is completely de-clawed. So practically, President Saddam Hussein does not have two courses of action: he has only ONE course left open to him. And that course of action is that of desperation - that if the enemy has come to do the worst to Iraq that Iraq must deliver a finishing blow to them, before its own debacle, that is designed to wreak as much havoc on the enemy as possible, to blunt its pride and prowess. So, as far as I can see, that is the reason why President Saddam Hussein is insisting that he will not withdraw from Kuwait on the conditions laid down by the Western countries. It is possible that the U. N. Secretary General Mr Perez De Cuellar's visit to Iraq may bring out certain facts. I do hope that his parleys may result in a U. N. guarantee to Iraq that if it leaves Kuwait then (i) the U. N. will look upon the whole Arab issue in a united 147
