The army of Iraq will always stay a guardian of the father of martyrs Saddam Hussein!
Today we celebrate the anniversary of the foundation of the heroic army of Iraq while its absolute greatest commander and promoter has become a martyr assassinated by evil Safawid hands and a US direct and franc cooperation. We used to celebrate the anniversary of the foundation of our heroic army with our Leader martyr in amongst us either when he was in government or in detention...
Today our assassinated leader is absent in his body in amongst us... Yes! Indeed shaken were even many of the leader's enemies' for the degraded way in which he was murdered set directly and frankly by the US setup and with Iranian tools. These two enemies reckon that getting rid of the Leader martyr will prepare the way to tear away the Party, the People and the Resistance... and hence affect the well known strategic course in Iraq and hurting the squashing and growing victories the Iraqi National Resistance is marking and transform it into a sectarian war which will burn everything in its way.
Today, a week after the assassination of the Iraqi Mujahid armed forces' commander, our Party stands and behind it, millions of Arabs, Muslims and honorable people in the world, resolved, resisting, and holding on to the principles for which Saddam Hussein gave his life as a sacrifice refusing any compromise, combating relentlessly the enemy of the Arab Nation in the Iraqi arena, the US and the Iranian occupiers and offering thousands of martyrs on the path to liberate Iraq and to safeguard its Arab identity.
Masses of our Great Arab nation!
When the US occupied Iraq, it was natural that the first measure it had to take was to disband the army and the internal security services. Disbanding the Iraqi armed forces and destroying their weapons was not a mistake made by the US governor in Iraq as they claim today! The army itself and because its national and doctrinal composition whoever were its military commanders, is a fundamental guarantee against the occupation and its servile tails if given the opportunity and the right moment... It is also a shield against chaos and against the control of the criminal gangs, the US and Iranian death squads which are theses two occupiers' most important tools to spread chaos and sow division seeds to destroy Iraq as a state, as a society and as an identity.. Through setting aside the Armed forces, the puppet gangs and parties were able to spread murder, loot and rape all over Iraq and attempt to set the flame of the sectarian loggerhead.
Sons and daughters of the great Iraq!
Almost four years after the invasion, the assassination of the leader-martyr Saddam Hussein confirms without the slightest doubt that is was a step carefully taken to eradicate the fundamental barrier which stopped Zionism, the US and Iran from dividing Iraq and change its demographic structure.. Indeed the Leader-martyr stayed the component to unite and put all Iraqis together and he was a consensus factor as a legitimate President of Iraq. For this reason his assassination came as an attempt to make Iraq lose its legitimate President and open the way for a malevolent competition which bears division and ill feeling... But the will of the one and united people and the martyr leader's directives to avoid getting withdrawn into a sectarian loggerhead has failed and wrecked this Iranian and US schemes.
This failure was seen through the popular Iraqi consensus to condemn the leader assassination considering it as an unforgivable crime against Iraq and against its people, specially when hundreds of Iraqi personalities from amongst tribal elders and popular organizations leaders were convinced that the return of the President to the affairs was the only solution which can guarantee the return of the security, the stability and the services to Iraq and to its people. Furthermore the Arab and the world public opinion have condemned the assassination considering it as a crime against a prisoner of war and a legitimate President of a sovereign state! Thus this crime became an added and a mighty stimulant for the Iraqi people, the Arab nation and all the honorable people in the world to raise more guns and more voices against the US occupation and back the Iraqi people and its national Resistance right for liberation and independence.
Iraqi Heroes!
The martyr-leader assassination has deepened the Iraqi awareness about the real objectives behind the US-Iranian plan... This is why we witnessed a patriot union gathering all Iraqi patriots overcoming former differences, condemning the assassination and considering it as a step towards dividing Iraq and humiliating the Arab nation specially when it came the first day of the Al Adha feast - the Abraham sacrifice feast, carrying every impertinent provocation significance for every Arab and every Muslim and accompanied by Safawid hated sectarian slogans and a humiliation of the Leader martyr body.
The overwhelming homage made by the Dujail and the Southern tribal sheiks and populations and their participation into the burial prayers (al Fatiha) for the martyrs' soul plus the Iraqi southern citizens defiance against Iran and the Occupation were an Iraqis' loyalty clear cut choice and wrecked Iran and US bets to foment sectarian loggerhead after the assassination.
The first reactions have raised Saddam Hussein as the supreme patriot symbol for all Iraqis and the mightiest motor for their stand and their resolve... This was the consequence of the leader greatest sacrifice who was heralding the life and the unity of the Iraqi people and Palestine until the last instant of his life. In this strong Iraqis' unity circumstances, our Party calls sincerely for a wide National Front representing the unity of all the patriots and consider the martyr leader assassination as a clear cut line in between two periods and put all our differences behind.
Sons and daughters of our Mujahid Armed forces!
Today while undertaking the war for the liberation of Iraq, holding to the Allah Akbar (God the Greatest) banner raised by the leader until his martyrdom, you must remember the leader commandments and follow them; and most important, never compromise on the freedom and the independence of Iraq specially on its oil resources or compromise over the central cause, the Palestine cause! Rather to hold on completely to the Iraq and the Arab Nation rights and reject any blackmail and mass genocidal force as a mean to impose a fait accompli.
Leader Saddam martyrdom was fundamentally a consequence for his repeated rejection to strike any deal and make any compromise on the detriment of the Arab nation especially over Palestine and the Arab National commitment.
In this occasion we would like to remind that it was Saddam Hussein who transformed the Army of Iraq from an army with four divisions into an army with five army corps with one million fighters... and which made out of the Iraqi army a formidable force which defeated Iran and bombed the Zionist Entity in its very existence... forced the US to abandon the strategy of the wars by proxy and adopting a war strategy which involves its very self and went to a war against Iraq during the 1991 aggression and not through its puppets and mobilizing more than forty states against the army of the great Iraq!
Also your loyalty to the Armed Forces' General Commander, to Iraq and to the free loving humanity's martyr, requests you to hold on to Saddam Hussein liberation march and intensify the combat until the liberation of Iraq without any backing off or any compromises with the enemy. If the enemy, through assassinating the martyr is attempting to change and camouflage its horrendous defeat in Iraq and sow the loggerhead, we must expand our Jihadi actions to deepen its failure and its impasse in Iraq and corner him into to choose in between either a humiliating or a degrading defeat. The Iraqi Resistance is triumphing and is advancing... and the martyr assassination is nothing but a strong indicator of this very truth.
Let the greatest revenge for the Martyr-Leader Saddam Hussein be a quick liberation of Iraq!
May the unity of the patriotic forces be the fundamental guarantee to liberate Iraq and to rebuild it!
Glory and eternity to the General Commander of the Mujahid Iraqi Armed Forces, the martyr Saddam Hussein!
Glory and eternity to the Mujahid Iraqi armed forces martyrs!
The Iraqi Mujahid Armed Forces, Saddam Hussein's striking forces will always be in the hands of the Iraqi people and the heroic Iraqi Resistance.
