Today on Democracy Now, on 90.7 KPFK, host Amy Goodman had special guest Mohammed Aldouri, who is the United Nations Ambassador to Iraq. They discussed the recent issues reguarding President Bush and his wanting to invade Iraq, due to them refusing U.S. weapons inspectors to search Iraq.
Mohammed Aldouri began the interview by saying that he objects to all of the United States pleas and feel that they are not pleas, but declarations of war. Aldouri was upset because all of the countries who participate in the United Nations do not object to the methods in which they use. But the United States will not accept the decision of the U.N. Aldouri feels that President George Bush is planning to invade Iraq not because of the weapons inspections, but for 3 internal reasons, and 3 external reasons.
The three internal reasons he did not want to talk about at first but late
Aldouri then went on to explain the three external reasons for President Bush’s probable invasion of Iraq. The first reason was for the oil that is in Iraq, Aldouri’s views were that the United States are not satisfied with their oil supply which they are receiving from Iraq and they think that there is a lot of potiential in Iraqi oil. The second external reason is that the U.S. feels that Iraq is bringing down their reputation. Iraq is the only country that does not agree to allow the U.S. to “push it around”. They make firm stands against the U.S. and that makes the United States look bad. The final reason for the probable invasion is the relation in the Israel – Palestine situation. Due to the Iraqi support of the Palestinians, the United States is struggling to help Israel.
