” ‘We are not waging war against the United States outside Iraq,’ said Iraqi vice premier Tariq Aziz, at a press conference in Baghdad on October 17, 2001. ‘We don’t believe in that. …We are prepared to resist continuous American aggression against Iraq within the territory of Iraq. We don’t need bin Laden for that because we are capable of doing it.’ ”
