[center][b]President Saddam Hussein's Address to the Global Community on the 9/11 Attacks[/b][/center]

[i]I speak for all Iraqis’ when I say; America we too know what is like to be deeply damaged by the fanaticism of others. However, while I am deeply saddened over the loss of life the fact of the matter is that frankly the United States Government as an independent entity does not deserve the condolences of the Iraqi people or any peoples of the world as it continues to violate the sovereignty not only of the Republic of Iraq, but of other nations as well. As the leader of this great nation I can personally attest to the fact that the United States Government and their Zionist puppet through the use of covert mechanisms against this year’s harvest are responsible for denying bread to the mouths of starving Iraqi children. 

Thusly, I warn all nations against rushing to make statements or adopt resolutions, which intrinsically support the United States’ use of unregulated force in response to these attacks; lest you wish to see these mechanisms turned against yourselves. America needs an influx of wisdom at this time not unbridled power; if we the global community deters an absolutist response Washington will have to turn to more sensible ways of dealing with this grievous crime rather than spilling of innocent Arab and Muslim blood. 

To those grieving this day remember that God has created us, and to Him we return. May God give you long life.[/i]

[center][b]Brewing Tensions in Iraq[/b][/center]
[i]It seems like Saddam Hussein and his Ba'athist cohorts are taking this brief relieve from underneath the proverbial magnifying glass of international scrutiny to revert to their old ways. While Saddam Hussein claimed to speak for “all Iraqis” in a defiant speech addressing the 9/11 attacks he made earlier today, it now seems his administration is posed to cleave off the majority of subversive elements according to a leaked memorandum issued a few days prior. The document in question addressed the question of identifying and dealing with so-called “enemies of the state”, identifying three bastions of opposition to the current regime; Shi’a groups in the south, Kurds in the north, and other suppressed opposition groups including the besieged Iraqi Communist Party. If this ends up being more than just Saddamist rhetoric it would be suffice to say that these are the tentative first steps of a state that has never maintained control over the situation in Iraqi Kurdistan. It is no longer a question of if violence will occur, but rather when.[/i]
