UNITED NATIONS - The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations walked out of a debate on the Iraqi war Thursday after Iraq’s ambassador accused the United States of trying to exterminate the Iraqi people.
“I did sit through quite a long part of what he had to say but I’d heard enough,” U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte said.
Iraq’s U.N. envoy Mohammed Al-Douri charged that the United States had arranged for contracts to rebuild Iraq in 1997, six years before the U.S.-led war began last week.
Negroponte got up and walked out as Al-Douri continued speaking, accusing the United States of a military campaign to wipe out the Iraqi people.
