ABOUT OIL

  A council of a number, that will be agreed upon, of Arab ministers of Oil and Foreign Affairs, or of the minister of Oil and Foreign Affairs of oil producing countries, to follow up the details of paras. :: 020422.

  A strong, believing and healthy Iraq was born. But the birth, as all other births which came before it in the horizon of humanity and in our nation, was not able to render ineffectual the croak of ravens, nor the hissing of snakes or the crossing of far crocodiles from the seas of their family in order to help the beasts of earth in their attack against the sun, in a desperate hope to obscure its light which radiated from Baghdad or to shed the blood of its people in a fake hope and out of an imagination that the generous blood shed on the soil of Baghdad and on the soil of Iraq could hinder the plants and trees from becoming green, from blossoming and from carrying with its fragrance pollens which might tempt the appetite of butterflies, and thus be able to carry with the news of new faith and resolution, with the dew and tears, a pollen to every tree whose branches and leaves become dry or ceased to give fruits now that the water ceased to reach its roots and was confident that no one could take care of its fruits and guard its plants, trees and growth.

  After the Revolution, Baghdad and life have become as they now despite the conspiracies of the forces of evil which cameone after one with extraordinary actions to suppress the new will that proceeded with building, renewing the role after its rise again, developing the wealth after its creation, enhancing the trust by truthfulness and capability after being built on a solid foundation that does not spoil the consciences and ardor by inactivity and evil example.

  Arabs should express their solidarity with their brothers' security and safety, and the oil exporters, including Iraq, immediately decrease the production of their oil for exportation by 50% , and directly deprive the US and Zionist entity from the other exported half, and to threaten any country or company with the same measure if they export the oil they import from Arab countries. :: 020422.

  As for saying: we can not, or we are not ready to use the weapon for those who have weapons, and that oil is not a cannon, a tank or a jet fighter for those who have oil, then what would, and by what can we confront those who want to exploit us, the aggressors, and the usurpers? :: 020422.

  As for the question: what weapon do we begin with? Well, let's begin bothers… we have not suggested the weapon of oil until we were aware that our Arab brothers are not ready to use the other weapons, and so that no one could say that we have a weapon, the use of which does not require any bloodshed, or that: we have not used the oil weapon, so lets try it, before resorting other weapons. :: 020422.

  At present and after the balance of power in the world has retrograded among superpowers which exercise influence and interest extending beyond their boundaries or among those that seek imperialist and colonialist hegemony, oil prices have been developed in an excessive fogginess.

  But the worst of it is that USA no longer contended with this ugly imperialism and hegemony over oil so much so that it has become politically valueless or without any effective, strategic significance which might enhance its owners' stance.

  If it did bear fruit, the fruits would be of a kind to which the soil or the seeds are not used to. :: rev

  If they say that they crossed the Atlantic to make sure that you get your oil supplies, tell them that oil is guaranteed by mutual interests and non-aggression, not by aggressions, killing, violating other people's rights , and destroying all sanctities . :: 011018.

  If you want to use the weapons of our armies to be succeeded by the oil, we are with our armies, oil and people, ready to do so, along whoever is ready to so, although we prefer that we all have this honor, and only some of our countries and political systems, except if we had to, God forbid. :: 020422.

  It will bring malice to the souls and will incite destructive turmoil more than it appeases them to be calm and peaceful.

  Let them also remember and never forget that America's continuous military aggression and economic sanctions against Iraq are but one manifestation of its selfish and narrow-minded outlook which includes, among others, taking possession of oil and national resources of the countries of the region so that its slogan of controlling the entire world becomes possible. :: 980117

  Neutralizing our oil, which is one of the elements of our economic strength, means that we are strengthening our enemy on ourselves and enable him to overcome us. :: 020422.

  Not to seem to be ignoring the comments made by some of my brothers in oil producing countries, epically that oil is not a weapon… it is not a cannon, a tank, or a jet fighter. :: 020422.

  Now we are in the position of responsibility which has given us access to information and now we have assumed authority and supervision, we have realized the rightness of our mujahid party when it had attracted attention in early underground struggle to the significance of the Arab oil to be for the Arabs.

  October War 1973. In 1973, on the margin of the Arab October war against the Zionist entity, a small number of the Arab states called upon the influential international parties to take a fair position, or at least the minimum position after which the evil would be a flood; otherwise the Arabs would be forced to put the interest of the Arab national security in their considerations and their oil and economic relations with the concerned parties. :: 980717

  Oil should be used as a weapon that will come in succession in the battle, and not as an absolute alternative weapon. :: 020422.

  The Arab countries should work in solidarity with Islamic oil producing countries to take the same measures as Arabs as mentioned in paras. :: 020422.

  The Arab countries should work together, represented by oil producing countries members of OPEC, with the support of Muslum members, to have the OPEC adopt a resolution of full solidarity with this and the measures afore mentioned. :: 020422.

  The Arab oil was seized by the foreign companies of the imperialist and colonialist states whether in extraction, industrial treatment, transportation and exportation, in quality and pricing.

  The enemy is preparing now to control entry to the Red Sea and the gate-ways to the Arab Sea, with a view to ensuring enemy interest's and security for the zionist entity, while securing transport lines for oil and military shipments there. :: 030106

  The entire nation will rise up in defence of its right to life, of its role and of anything it holds sacred … Their arrows will be on the wrong track or will recoil to their breasts, God willing ….

  The first time the real value of oil, the range of market demands and its role in the strategic calculations of the states and their endeavour for foreign hegemony or imperialist-colonialist policy was known when Iraq nationalized its oil in 1972, and when nationalization was crowned with success after nine years of boycott imposed by the concessionary companies backed by their governments then, with the exception of France which took no part in it, but accepted special arrangements made by an initiative from Iraq in the era of the de Gaullist president Pompidou.

  The forces of evil have realized that the natural resources, including oil, have been used to strengthen Man's role in Iraq in an ascending manner, not to corrupt him or to simply fatten him up to be eaten by the West.

  The imperialist states were then put in an embarrassing situation and were obliged to reconsider their concessionary relations with the countries in the third world at a large scale for fear of the blowing winds of nationalization from Iraq where it triumphed, thanks to Iraq's steadfastness and the world's openness to purchase its oil on a competitive basis and price differential temptations granted to crown nationalization with success and due to the balance policy prevalent then in the two blocks to which we have referred.

  The People and the Nation cannot be held responsible for any shortcoming even when they recoil from playing a role by which they are supposed to advance.

  The seeds would fall into lethargy to recover its capability of growing, flowering, blossoming and bearing fruit according to the quality of the soil along with other factors. :: rev

  The world, therefore, was either provided with oil needs from the capitalist states and enjoyed some facilities under (foreign aids) or furnished with similar facilities within the socialist camp or whichever politically affiliated to it under the placard of COMECON, which is an economic group comprising the relevant members.

  They were thirty foiled positions which would be followed by shame for ever, and twenty eight armies whose arrows missed their targets, except for those whom God wanted to be destined for the honor of martyrdom as well as the property they destroyed.

  This tragic situation is in need of a serious consultation among the oil states whenever the will and intention exist, albeit it may start on a small scale and not for all OPEC states which have been penetrated by the foreigners' tricks, because this very small scale may be always appropriate for such a consultation to rescue those who evince the will of rejection of such a situation from being victims to the foreigners' cutting fangs, if not possible to save the others whose strength and will have dwindled under the weight of their inadvertence or slumber, their hatred and rancour.

  To allocate a quota of the exported oil proportional the stand taken by the countries that express understanding or supporting stands with Arab rights. :: 020422.

  Trade and professional unions and federations can do much to harm the enemy including calling for a strike of the workers of oil exporting ports or oil tankers with contracts with the country meant to be harmed, the loading and unloading workers of cargo ships of a certain country, the staff and workers of railways, ports, airports, external communication, etc. :: 020422.

  USA has not only dominated all this, but it has dispossessed oil rulers in general of any control, influence or freedom of decision over oil which has turned an ordinary commodity and which the Americans fix its price and decide its influential significance in the Arab land and the third world according to certain terms of description and according to other terms of description elsewhere.

  USA together with the Western states which share imperialist ambitions has recoursed to the policy of domination over oil from its resources to transportation and selling via the governance of the balance of offer and demand which is met from the U. S. available store a at very low prices, as we explicated on previous occasions.

  We said in a previous speech that "Arab oil is for the Arabs" was one of the Ba'athists' banners, which we had raised and fought for it.

  We salute the Palestinian people of heroic mujahideen as well as every hero and heroine amongst the champions of self-sacrifice who confront the zionest aggression with their lives and thus foil the wrong ideas of the American administrations which have acted in alliance with their artificial zionist creation in the crimes they perpetrate and the shame they reap . :: 030106

  We would have provided the nation with whathelp it in its life and jihad, and the Palestinian people with the support by other measures as a result of the increase in the prices of oil after stopping its exportation which will compensate for the revenues one may think that the Arab exporting countries will lose by decreasing their exports, whether the compensation is total or partial. :: 020422.

  Yes, oil is not a tank, a jet fighter or a cannon, but it can be used as a weapon, when the muzzles of the cannons, tanks and jet fighters are not working, or are not meant to be used. :: 020422.
