AL,,QADHDHAF I THEN.ANNOUNCES THAT THt POPULAR CONGRESSES IN LIBYA
WILL MEET LATER THIS YEAR TO GIVE THEIR VERDICT ON UNITY WITH
EGYPT.. HE STATES; "WE WILL NOT HESITATE? HOWEVER TO PUT TO THE
POPULAR CONGRESSES THE QUESTION OF PLACING THE LIBYAN ARMED FORCES
UNDER EGYPTIS DISPOSAL IF EGYPT WISHES TO LIBERATE THE SINArI`,
IF I WERE RULING AS AN INDIVIDUAL ((WARDS INDISTINCT)) AS IN THE
REVOLUTION COMMAND COUNCIL. OR AS IN THE CASE OF OTHER COUNTRIES,,
I WOULD HAVE PERSONALLY TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MAKING THE
DECISION TO MOVE A LARGE FORCE TO BE ADDED TO THE EGYPTIAN ARMYO'
EVEN UNDER THE PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES; IN ORDER TO PROVE TO THE
ISRAELIS; WHO THESE DAYS HAVE GONE BEYOND ACC LIMITS; THAT THE ARABS
ALTHOUGH THEY MAY FIGHT; ARE UNITED AGAINST THE COMMON,_ENEMY.
IT IS ALSO APPROPRIATE TO QUOTE A WELL-KNOWN ARAB PROVERB:
MY BROTHER AND I STAND AGAINST MY COUSIN? AND MY COUSIN AND I STAND
AGAINST THE FOREIGNER.'!
ALmQADHDHAFI THEN.DISCUSSES THE ISRAELI REFUSAL TQ NEGOTIATE
WITH THE PALESTINIANS AND SAYS THAT THE MASSES ARE NOT KAMILIAR
WITH THE VARIOUS UN RESOLUTIONSmrTHEY ONLY KNOW THAT THEIR LAND
IS OCCUPIED.
HE CONTINUES; "THE IMPERIALIST CHALLENGE HAS REACHED ITS
PEAK, AND INDIFFERENCE TO THE ARAB NATION HAS GONE BEYOND A,LI
LIMITS, WHY? BECAUSE OF THE ARAB NATION'S SHAMEFUL STAND.
WHERE IS THE SYRIAN ARMY? It WAS ENGAGED IN A BATTLE?AGAINST THE
PALESTINIANS IN LEBANON, THEY HAVE DRAGGED IT INTO THE BATTLE;
IT WAS DRAGGED IN. BY INTRIGUES. WHERE IS THE EGYPTIAN ARMY.IN.SINAI?
IT'WAS DRAGGED INTO FIGHTING AGAINST THE LIBYAN ARMY'? THE SYRIAN
ARMY AND THE IRAQI ARMY ARE FACING ONE'ANOTHER, ARAB AND FOREIGN
ARMIES ARE CONCENTRATING AGAINST SOUTH YEMEN. FROM ALL SIDE$
IF YOU LOOK AT A MAP OF THE ATLANTIC To THE GULF? YOU WILL FIND
EVERY ARAB ARMY ENCAGED TT.N A FIGHT AGAINST ANOTHER ARAB ARMY
THIS IS THE CONSPIRACY: FOR THIS REASON WE WILL DISCUSS OUR ROLE IN
THIS MATTER AT THE POPULAR CONGRESSES, IF I WERE. ABLE
TO TAKE A DECISION ON MY.OWN, I WOULD-=IN DEFIENCE OF THE ISRAELIS
AND DESPITE THE FACT 'THAT RECENTLY THERE WAS A WAR BETWEEN, US
AND EGYPT--ISSUE AN ORDER TOMORROW TO LIBYAN AIR FORCE SQUADRONS
TO SMASH THE ISRAELI AIROIELPS IN SINAI, THE ISRAELIS AND.(THERS
KNOW THE LIBYANS WELL AND KNOW THEIR ARMS; THEY KNOW 'THE POWER OF
LIBYAN ARMS."

PRESIDENT OR A KIND EACH LIBYAN HAS TO DECIDE ON OUR ROLE IN THIS
