Iraq Calls on Arab States to Use Oil as a Weapon Against the U.S.

Because of America's support for Israel

A top Iraqi diplomat urged Arab states to "use the weapon of oil" against the United States because of its alliance with Israel, raising more questions about the Middle Eastern nation's allegiance to the nation that freed it from a ruthless dictatorship.

The shocking statement from a democratic government in power only after the U.S. and allies ousted murderous dictator Saddam Hussein in a costly and bloody war laid bare the Middle Eastern nation's true allegiance.
