((TEXT)) YES. THIS MOVEMENT, THE POLISARIO, THE MEN OF THE
SAHARA -- WE TESTIFY THEY ARE UNIQUELY BRAVE, HONEST, AND PURE.
THEY ARE NOT CORRUPT LIKE THE OTHER BOURGOIS ARABS. I WISH
THE POLISARIO FORCES COULD GO TO SOUTHERN LEBANON TO PARTICIPATE
WITH US IN LIBERATING THE SOUTH, AND THAT THIS CLASH BETWEEN 80,000
MOROCCAN SOLDIERS AND THE THOUSANDS OF FIGHTERS FROM THE SAHARA
WOULD CEASE. THIS POINT MUST BE CLEAR TO ALL.
WE VALUE THE ACTION TAKING PLACE IN LEBANON AND TO WHICH
WE ARE SENDING ARMS. WE ARE NOT LIKE THE OTHERS WHO SUPPORT IT
AND WISH IT SUCCESS IN WORDS ONLY. WE HAVE GIVEN IT ARMS AND
HAVE ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A DUTY TO US AND WE DO
NOT ASK FOR REWARD RO THANKS. WE THANK THE LEBANESE-AND PALESTINIANS
BECAUSE THEY ARE DYING ON BEHALF OF THE ARAB NATION.
((APPLAUSE)) THIS IS BECAUSE THIS ENEMY SEEKS TO DESTROY THE ARAB
NATION. IT IS RECORDED FOR THE LEBANESE AND THE PALESTINIANS
THAT THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE FRONT TRENCH AND THIS TRENCH HAS BEEN
SUBJECTED TO DESTRUCTION, BUT IT BRINGS THEM GLORY.
THE LEBANESE TRENCH AND THE PALESTINIAN TRENCH CONSTITUTE THE
FRONT TRENCH ONLY. FOR WHEN THE ENEMY CROSSES THESE TWO TRENCHES
HE WILL NOT STOP.
BEFORE THE BRAVE LEBANESE RESISTANCE TRIUMPHED OVER THE ENEMY
HIS OBJECTIVE WAS TO DESTROY SYRIA. AS TO IRAQ, IT HAS DECIDED
TO DESTROY ITS ARMS IN DEZFUL AND KHORRAMSHAHR AND SUCH PLACES,
WHICH DOES NOTHING TO MOVE US. WE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HEAR
THE NAMES OF HAIFA, YAFO, AND 'AKKO MENTIONED. FOR THESE WOULD
MOVE US. WE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HEAR THAT THEY HAD BEEN STRUCK
AND DESTROYED BY ARAB AIRCRAFT. AS TO KHORRAMSHAR, AZAD, DEZFUL,
IT DOES NTO MOVE ME WHETHER THEY STRIKE AGAINST IT OR NOT. IT
MEANS NOTHING TO THE ARAB CITIZEN. IRAQ HAS FALLEN FOR THE PLOT
AND SO DID THE RULERS OF IRAQ.
THEY BELIEVE THAT LEBANON HAS NO ARMY AND SO THEY CAN TRIUMPH
OVER IT. NATURALLY, NOW ALL THEIR CALCULATIONS HAVE TURNED UPSIDE
DOWN. THE ENEMY ADVANCED WITH A VIEW TO STRIKE AND DEMOLISH THE
SYRIAN MILITARY POWER. IF SYRIA WERE DESTROYED, THEN THE ENEMY
WOULD ADVANCE EASILY TO THE GULF, IF AMERICA AGREES TO THIS,
ACCORDING TO AMERICAN TIMING. IF THE UNITED STATES FELT THAT THE
TIME WAS SUITABLE FOR THE ISRAELIS TO DEMOLISH THE SYRIAN POSITIONS.
THAT IS, TT GIVES THEM THE GREEN LIGHT TO ADVANCE FREELY ON THE GULF.
BUT IF AMERICA FELT THAT THE TIME WAS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE ISRAELIS
TO TAKE OVER THE OIL IN THE ARAB REGION, IT WOULD TELL THEM TO STOP
AT A SPECIFIC POINT.
IT IS ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME. THE SLUMBERING ARAB RULERS
OF THE GULF SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS FACT, THAT THE SEIZURE OF THE
OIL FROM THEIR HANDS BY THE ISRAELIS IS DEPENDENT PURELY ON
AMERICAN TIMING. AMERICA CARES NOTHING ABOUT THE ARABS. IT CARES
ONLY ABOUT ITS STRATEGIC INTERESTS IN THIS REGION, WHICH IT MUST
INSURE.
AMERICA WANTS THE ENERGY SOURCES IN THE REGION. IT KNOWS
THAT THE ARABS CONSTITUTE A LASTING ASSET FOR IT. THE ARABS WHO
ARE TODAY AGAINST EACH OTHER, WILL TURN TOMORROW AGAINST AMERICA.
IN THE END, AMERICA IS THE TRADITIONAL ENEMY OF THE ARABS. IT

EXPLOITS THEM. IT CLAIMS TO BE THEIR FRIEND BUT IT SCORNS THEM,
DESPISES THEM, AND BLACKMAILS THEM. THE RESULT IS NIL, DEVELOPMENT
IS NIL, OIL IS NIL, DIGNITY IS NIL, AND IN THE END THEY KNEEL
BEFORE THE AMERICAN HOUSE, LIKE THE PERSON WHO IS AFFLICATED BY
A TRAGEDY AND SO TURNS TO GOD. THEIR GOD IS AMERICA.
WHEN THEY SUFFERED CATASTROPHE IN EVERYTHING, THEY THREW
THEMSELVES BEFORE THEIR GOD. YES, THEY RUSHED TO AMERICA. SOME
PACKED THEIR LUGGAGE AND LEFT. OTHERS RETURNED EMPTY-HANDED TO
TIGHTEN HIS BELT. SOME ARE GOING WHILE OTHERS ARE COMING BACK.
((WORDS INDISTINCT))
THEY WENT TO AMERICA SEEKING HELP. THEY SAID WE HAVE FAILED
WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT AND WE HAVE FAILED IN SOLVING ALL THE
PROBLEMS. WE HAVE BEEN FACED BY ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS WITHOUT
US BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING. YOU CONTROL EVERYTHING. THIS IS
TRUE.
THE PETROLEUM IS IN AMERICA'S HANDS. THEIR MONEY IS IN
AMERICA'S HAND. IT IS RIGHT FOR THEM TO GO TO AMERICA BROTHERS,
SINCE THEY ARE AGENTS FOR AMERICA.
AMERICA HAS THE GAS, THE PETROLEUM, A POLICY AND
PLANNING. THE REAL BASTION THAT PROTECTS AND ((WORDS INDISTINCT))
ARE IN AMERICA. THEN THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO TO AMERICA.
BUT WE DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO TO AMERICA. BECAUSE WE DO NOT NEED
OIL AND WE NEED NOTHING FROM AMERICA. BUT FOR THEM, EVERYTHING
COMES FROM AMERICA. SO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO GO THERE. WE
SAY RASBERRY TO AMERICA, BUT THEY CANNOT SAY SO. THEY SAY YES.
((WORDS INDISTINCT)) AND CONSEQUENTLY OWE NOTHING TO AMERICA.
WE RELY ON GOD.
BUT THEIR GOD IS AMERICA. THEIR SURVIVAL ON THEIR SEATS IS
ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME. WHEN THE ISRAELIS BECOME READY TO TAKE
OVER OIL FROM THE ARABS AMERICA WILL GIVE THEM THE PERMISSION TO
DO SO. BUT THIS DEPENDS ON DEMOLISHING THE SYRIAN RENCH. FOR
THIS REASON, WE HAVE ALWAYS WARNED THE ARABS ABOUT THE EXTREME
IMPORTANCE OF THE SYRIAN TRENCH AND OF SYRIA'S STEADFASTNESS. WE
MUST NEVER LOSE SYRIA'S STEADFASTNESS BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A
VERY BIG CATASTROPHE FOR THE ARAB STANCE AND FOR THE ARAB RESISTANCE
IN THE FACE OF THE ISRAELIS IF THE SYRIAN TRENCH WERE TO COLLAPSE.
TODAY ALL WE ASK OF THE ARABS IS NOT TO SHAME THE GOOD ONES
AMONG THEM BY APPLAUDING FOR THE LEBANESE RESISTANCE. WE MUST
CONTRIBUTE. I ASK THE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEES AND PEOPLE'S CONGRESSES
IN THE LIBYAN JAMAHIRIYAH TO SEE THAT LIBYA SETS THE EXAMPLE AND
TO BE THE FIRST IN MAKING AN EFFECTIVE CONTRIBUTION TO THE BATTLE
OF SOUTHERN LEBANON NOT ONLY WITH ARMS, WHICH WE NEVER CEASED
PROVIDING FOR THE BATTLE -- OUR GUNS ARE THEIR GUNS -- WE ARE
PREPARED TO GO BY OURSELVES TO FIGHT ON THEIR SIDE AND WE THANK
THEM FOR FIGHTING ON OUR BEHALF AND CHECKING OUR ENEMY SO THAT HE
MAY NOT REACH OUR FOLD. WE MUST IN FACT SHARE OUR FOOD WITH THEM.
((CHANTS)) WE MUST SHARE OUR FOOD WITH THEM AND ALL MATERIAL GOODS
WE HAVE WE MUST SHARE WITH THE LEBANESE. THIS, IN FACT, IS AN
ACT OF SELF-DEFENSE. THE HOUSE DESTROYED IN SOUTHERN LEBANON IS
THE HOUSE OF US ALL AND WE MUST BUILD IT BRICK BY BRICK.
((APPLAUSE))
THE FAMILY WHOSE MAN WAS MARTYRED, WE ARE ITS MAN. THE FAMILY

WHOSE INCOME WAS CUT, OUR INCOME IS ITS INCOME. FROM TOMORROW,
THESE WORDS MUST BE TRANSFORMED INTO TANGIBLE ACTIONS SO THAT WE
CAN CONFIRM THE CREDIBILITY OF OUR MISSION THAT THIS IS ONE NATION
AND ONE PEOPLE AND THAT WE ARE GATHERED BY PAN-ARABISM. ((CHEERS))
IN ADDITION TO EXPLAINING OUR POSITION TOWARD SOUTH LEBANON AND
THE POLISARIO, WE SHOULD EXPLAIN BRIEFLY OUR POSITION TOWARD
THE GULF WAR. FIRST OF ALL WE ARE, OR I PERSONALLY BELIEVE IN
THE MOTTO: SUPPORT YOUR BROTHER WHETHER HE IS RIGHT OR WRONG
WITHOUT EXPLANATION. BUT THE SHAH WAS ALLYING HIMSELF FRANKLY WITH
THE ISRAELIS AND SUPPLYING THEM WITH POWER AND ENERGY, AND WITH
SOUTH AFRICA, AND BRIBING THE RULERS OF THE ARAB NATION ONE BY
ONE. SADDAM SIGNED THE TREATY OF ALGIERS WITH HIM AND HANDED
HIM SHATT AL-ARAB. WHEN WE WERE AGAINST THIS TREATY AND AGAINST
THE SHAH AND WE WERE LIBERATING THE IRANIAN PEOPLE NIGHT AND
DAY, AND WE ESTABLISHED A RADIO DIRECTED TO THEM INCITING
REVOLUTION ALL THE ARABS WERE WITH THE SHAH.
