A statement to our dignified people masses and our heroes Mujahideen on the eighty seventh anniversary of the foundation of our Heroic Army!
Our dignified people sons and daughters!
While you go ahead with your epical Jihad against the US occupiers and their servile stooges, today we celebrate the eighty seventh anniversary of the foundation of your giant heroic Iraqi Army known by the battle and Jihad fields since its foundation in 1921 as an intrepid defender, protecting the homeland and defending the Nation, its honor and its dignity. Indeed! Your army was the unshakable owner of the patriotic and national strikes in May 1941 Revolution, 14th of July revolution in 1958, 8th February revolution in 1963 and 17th-30th July great Revolution in 1968.. offering martyrs and sacrifices redeeming the pure soil of Palestine and all the Arab soil in the Arabs' battle with the Zionist entity in 1948, 1967, and 1973.. The Iraqi glorious army martyrs' cemeteries are testimonies in Janna and Mafraq, its heroic and audacious strikes in Kafar Qassem and Kawkab al Hawa battles where the criminal Zionists endured bitter defeats..and its sons and daughters blood watered the mountains of Tall Antar and Kafar Nassij, Tall al Mal and S'as'a - Quneitra in October 1973 war.. Our Arab sons and daughters in Syria still talk about the heroism of the Iraqi officers and soldiers and in particular the officers belonging to the third and the sixth divisions and the twelfth second armored battalion and the eighth Infantry mechanical battalion and others of our heroic Army units and divisions plus our jets' hero pilots' sorties against the Zionist Entity forces..in Sinai and Golan heights..In al Quds, the West bank and Gaza..
Our people unshakable sons and daughters!
You all have in mind the enormous development made by the Baath Revolution in Iraq, the glorious 17th-30th revolution in the structures and the units of our heroic army which grew and evolved qualitatively in the domain of the ideological building of the Army and the armed forces..and its great development on every level in rehabilitation, training and armament.. allowing it therefore to combat the Iranian bloodthirsty aggression which started on the 4th September 1980 responding swiftly and on a large scale on September 22nd of the same year.. The Iraqi tanks and air jets were in the heart of the Iranian bloodthirsty enemy land incarnating the highest professional attacks while victories followed victories during eight decisive years crowned by a clear cut triumph on 8th August 1988.. Remember your heroic army and its audacious stands in combating the 30 countries' aggression in 1991 and the debased aggression on the 20th March 2003..where its combatants heroes can't be forgotten in Um Qasr battle and the rest.. But the US bloodthirsty killing machine and its allied in the evil, forces and the facilities given by some of Arab rulers, and the use of the invading forces of the latest technological devices and the prohibited blind weapons of mass destruction.. etc..led to the occupation of Iraq on the 9th April 2003.
Our resisting people' sons and daughters!
Our heroic and intrepid army and Armed Forces' sons and daughters!
The bloodthirsty Occupiers wanted with their Occupation to uproot the Baath and to disband the hero Iraqi Army for they know pretty well the role of this Army into defending the homeland and in combating the Zionist Entity.. Its disband therefore was a priority of the agenda and a main objective of the US- Zionist- Iranian alliance.. This Army has torn down to pieces (the US and the European glory) as its trampled on the Pagan Persian glory and the Zionist "glory" .. For this very reason its disband was a US, Zionist and a pagan Persian request to avenge the heroic roles it played in the Iraqi patriotic and national combat of the Arab nation and also to avenge deeply the Arab Islamic history heroism on the hands of the heroes Iraqi commanders such as Al Muthanna Bin Haritha Al Shaybani, Salah al Din al Ayubi and the colonels Salah al din Al Sabbagh, Mahmoud Salman, Fahmi Said, Kamel Shabib and the major Omar Ali and general Rifaat AL Haj Seri and Nadheem al Tabakdjaly etc..and the martyrs of the Palestine modern times' battles and the first and second Qadissya and the mother of all battles and until this very day.
But the US, Zionist and pagan Persian decision to disband the Iraqi Army didn't affect its Mujahideen and didn't kill their resolve and their will to combat the US occupier and its allied servile tails from every kind and every color.. Its hero combatants integrated the glorious Iraqi Armed Resistance' ranks against the Occupation and are inflicting the savage invaders every single day outstanding defeats using their combat expertise and holding on to their Jihadi faith and values.. They will continue their sacred Jihad under the banner of the Armed Forces general Command and the Jihad and the Liberation Command presided by the hero Mujahid, dignified with the Lord, the comrade, the sheikh of the Mujahideen Izzat Ibrahim al Duri, inspired by the heroic strikes of the Iraqi Army throughout its glorious eighty seven years' history and the Mujahid Resistance heroism with all its patriotic, national and Islamic factions.. promising their heroic brothers and sisters and in particular the martyr hero Saddam Hussein whose memory perfumed and inspired the Jihad and redemption spirit of the Mujahideen to continue their sacred Jihadi march to expel all the occupiers and their servile stooges of the likes of Maliki, Hakeem and Talabani.. to liberate Iraq and achieve its integral and total independence and start a new the patriotic, national and human renaissance march..
Glory and eternity to our heroic Army martyrs and to the martyrs of our intrepid people and in particular the modern times' martyrs' master, Saddam Hussein, may the Lord rest him in his eternal peace..
A salute of the Jihad and the battle to our heroic army and our heroic people Mujahideen on the occasion of the eighty seventh anniversary of the foundation of the our Mujahid Army!
We shall continue the strikes and the blows until the liberation and the great triumph and victory by the will of the Lord..
