Al-Hayat: British writer says war on Iraq has already failed

The British writer specialized in the Middle East Affairs Patrick Seale stressed on Friday that America and Britain lost the war on Iraq on the political and psychological levels whatever the result of the military act on Baghdad is.

In an article issued today in the London-Based al-Hayat newspaper, Seale said that what is called "Iraq Liberation Operation" is proved to be an imperialistic war built on lies and geopolitical greed.

Seale affirmed that American hidden targets of the war on Iraq are controlling the Iraqi oil, protecting the Israeli regional supremacy as well as Israeli possession of weapons of mass destruction.

Seale added that the Arab public opinion which was considered inactive for a long time has expressed strongly its opposition and condemnation against the American arrogance.
