“Controlled Middle East oil, it would control the world. This oil represents 65 percent of world oil reserves.

“We have to work sincerely and responsibly to thwart any attempt to divide the Arab nation into small groups, with which foreign countries would deal separately.

“The participation if women in some armies in the world is in reality only symbolic. The talk about the role of Zionist women in fighting with the combat units of the enemy in the war of 5 June 1967 was intended more as propaganda than anything real or substantial. It was calculated to intensify and compound the adverse psychological effects of the war by exploiting the backward outlook of large sections of Arab society and their role in the community. The intention was to achieve adverse psychological effects by saying to Arabs that they were defeated, in 1967, by women.” IfsWorldWarRealRealityFightingCommunityEnemyRolesAchieveEffectsMilitaryArmyIntentionPsychologicalPropagandaCombatDefeatedUnitsParticipationSectionsOutlookJuneSymbolicCompoundsZionistAdverse Author:Saddam Hussein
