Saddam Hussein Calls On US To Eliminate Weapons Of Mass Destruction
Baghdad (AFP) Mar 20, 2002 President Saddam Hussein called on the US Wednesday to eliminate its weapons of mass destruction, suggesting it undergo "psychiatric supervision" for its new nuclear weapons strategy that targets seven countries, including Iraq. "America must eliminate the first of its weapons of mass destruction before asking the rest of the world to do the same," Saddam said while receiving a delegation of chemists and pharmacology experts. "The enemies (Israel and the United States) must eliminate their nuclear and biological arsenals to avoid the risk of such weapons being seized by terrorists, as was the case of an American terrorist who produced anthrax spores," the president said. If the United States took the first step to eliminate weapons of mass destruction, the "whole world" would follow suit, Saddam said, quoted by the official INA news agency. The president added that Washington should be put under "psychiatric supervision for suggesting they would use nuclear weapons against certain countries." The US Nuclear Posture Review, a secret report to Congress leaked earlier this month, points to the potential use of US nuclear strikes against non-nuclear armed nations pursuing weapons of mass destruction -- China, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, and Syria -- as well as former Cold War enemy Russia. In January, US President George W. Bush labeled Iraq, along with Iran and North Korea, as forming an "axis of evil" because of their alleged attempts to acquire nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and their support for groups and individuals the United States considers to be terrorists.
