Egyptian Defense Minister Marshal Hussein Tantawi said that "Egypt is calling for an Arab military bloc to take up the challenges confronting the Arab world and make advances in technology . coalesce in all areas, particularly the military field, because the entire world is moving towards coalitions and blocs."

The Spotlight, page 1 1/4/99 Bob Smith ".Hafez El Assad, 69, has been president of Syria since 1971. He is dying of leukemia, a brain tumor and coronary complications. Round the clock medical care keeps Assad alive. He could die at any time. King Fahd bin Abdulaziz has led Saudi Arabia since 1982. He is 77 and incapacitated by a series of heart attacks and cerebral strokes..Sheik Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah, 70, has ruled Kuwait since 1977. Jaber has been struck with AIDS, which he apparently contracted from his homosexual lifestyle. Jaber's heir apparent, Sheik Saad Al Abdallah Al Sabah, 69, suffers from colon cancer. Jordan's King Hussein, 63, is dying of renal and lymphatic cancer. .. Sheik Zayed bin Sultan Nahayan, 86, president of the United Arab Emirates, has prostate cancer and his death is expected to bring an end to British and U.S. hegemony in the region. Hosni Mubarak, president of Egypt, suffers from Hepatitis B and severe neurological disorders. Yassar Arafat is 69. He bet everything on the good faith of Israel and some hefty CIA stipends to create a Palestinian bantustan under Israeli control. Arafat has advanced Parkinson's disease and severe neurological problems which renders him non-functional for days. His death, expected anytime, will leave the Palestinian masses no option but to join the Hamas leadership -- a definite minus for the globalists. In Tunisia, President Ben Ali, 55, has serious cardiac problems including arterial internal bleeding. In Libya, the health of President Muammar Qadaffi is unclear. There have been rumors for years about his bad health, but this is a closely-guarded secret... Ironically, all of the Arab leaders listed above have supported the CIA and the Clinton State Department against the wishes of the large majority of their people. Each one is likely to be replaced by a leader far less subject to American influence and far more supportive of the Arab cause.."

 


UPI 3/11/99 "…Defense Secretary William Cohen is in Egypt (Thursday) on his next-to-last stop on a whirlwind Middle East tour. He offered Egypt a stash of new defense equipment with a $3.2 billion price tag, but he had little success drumming up support for the U.S.-British airstrikes on Iraq. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has criticized the almost-daily attacks…."

Washington Post 3/6/99 Nat Hentoff "…Not widely known, however, is that more than 240 American historians have come forth with a call for impeachment -- on different grounds. The new petition declares: "Impeach Bill Clinton for the Right Reasons: Not for Lewinsky, but Rather for the Illegal Bombing of Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan." This proposed indictment was first circulated during the Jan. 7-10 meeting of the American Historical Association in Washington…. The petition cites a violation of the War Powers Clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 8). Although Congress "shall have Power to . . . declare War," Clinton only marginally consulted a few of its leaders and did not go through the required stages of meaningful consultation as mandated by the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Also violated, according to these historians, was Executive Order 12.333, Sec. 2-305, which prohibits assassination or conspiracy to assassinate human foreign targets…."
