<DIV></SPAN><FONT class=content size=4>THE Socialist Arab Ba’ath Party in Iraq
has affirmed that the report presented by the two assistants to the American
president in Iraq, Ambassador Crocker and commander of the occupation forces
Petraeus, did not deviate from what Iraqi patriots and many observers and
politicians in the United States and the world had expected. <BR><BR>The
report’s purpose is to cover up the major and accelerating collapse of the
American colonialist project in Iraq.<BR><BR>Ba’ath spokesman Dr Abu-Muhammad
said that the US administration and the American official and media services
stirred up a big clamour in the past few months, claiming the report would
provide unexpected solutions and fresh views and visions.<BR><BR>He said: ‘These
services tried to deceive the American public first and then the world public,
which rejects the Bush administration’s fascist policy of war, aggression and
occupation, that Crocker and Petraeus would present an independent opinion,
precise evaluation, and scientific analysis of the situation in Iraq and
possible beneficial options for the United States. <BR><BR>‘That is as if they
were not employees of the American President’s administration and their duty was
to beautify the ugly and corroded face of the policy and strategy of their
master who appointed them as American civilian and military governors in
Iraq.’<BR><BR>The Ba’ath Party representative added: ‘As expected, Crocker and
Petraeus delivered to the members of the Congress and the American people boring
lengthy details, tables, charts, figures, and maps of which most of them could
not make any sense. <BR><BR>‘In an American hypocritical appearance, they warned
against the actions of the Al-Qaeda Organisation and the pro-Iranian militias,
and Iran’s subversive role in Iraq. <BR><BR>‘Do these two Bush administration
officials and those who schooled them in their misleading services believe that
the Iraqis, the Arabs, and many circles in the United States, Europe, and the
world can forget that the militias, whose leaders hold senior positions in the
government and the security services formed by the American occupation
administration, were created after the occupation and with the knowledge and
approval of its political administration?<BR><BR>‘Can they forget that they
began their fascist criminal campaigns to kidnap, detain, torture, kill,
displace, and assassinate hundreds of thousands of Iraqis with the knowledge and
within the hearing and sight of its forces and intelligence agencies – if not
with their approval? <BR><BR>‘Do they and their masters believe that the public
can forget that the Al-Qaeda Organisation did not exist in Iraq before the
occupation and that the occupation opened the Iraqi borders to facilitate the
entry of Al-Qaeda to Iraq on the pretext of drawing the terrorists to Iraq and
fighting them there instead of fighting them in the United States, according to
many American official statements? <BR><BR>‘Do they believe that the public can
forget that Iran had almost no influence in Iraq before the invasion and the
occupation and that the American occupation administration opened Iraq’s doors
to it by cooperating with the Iranian intelligence before the invasion through
their double agents: the leaders and members of the pro-Iranian and pro-British
intelligence sectarian parties in London? <BR><BR>‘Do they believe that the
public can forget that the American occupation administration depended on these
pro-Iranian party leaders to manage the occupation government in Iraq, create
the security and military services, and fill them up with elements affiliated
with and loyal to Iran by opening the border between Iraq and Iran and not
deploying any police or military forces to stop the flow of thousands of Iranian
revolutionary guards and intelligence elements and their weapons into
Iraq?’<BR><BR>Ba’ath Party representative Dr Abu-Muhammad said: ‘The American
military and civilian governors of the occupation administration in Iraq delude
themselves if they and their fascist criminal masters in Washington imagined
that the Iraqis and many Arabs and others did not know that the US
Administration had planned to use this Iranian subversive role, whether directly
through the Iranian intelligence services and the murder and sabotage squads or
through the pro-Iranian local militias, to escalate the sectarian strife, combat
the Iraqi resistance, and liquidate and destroy the national structures of the
Iraqi state and its scientific, civilian, and military elite.’<BR><BR>He added:
‘The purpose of all this clamour about the report of Crocker and Petraeus is to
cover up the catastrophic military failure, the disgraceful political failure,
and the bitter moral retreat of the American imperial and colonialist project in
Iraq and to market this accelerating collapse as an important step for victory
that demands more time and patience. <BR><BR>‘Why? It is because Bush, the
criminal of the 21st century, is determined to continue the fascist annihilation
war that his father began against the Iraqi people in August 1990 – a war that
has entered a more ferocious stage since the start of the invasion and
occupation more than four and a half years ago.’<BR><BR>The Ba’ath Party
representative added: ‘It seems that the criminal Bush has not quenched his
thirst for the blood of the Iraqis. <BR><BR>‘He caused the killing of more than
one million Iraqis since the invasion. The successive military attacks and the
blockade have killed two million Iraqis between 1990 and 2003.<BR><BR>‘The fact
known to all those who follow up the American policy is that President Bush, who
is obsessed with evil and war, does not want to admit the failure of his
colonialist project, and this will lead to his downfall from the presidency and
end like any fascist war criminal.’<BR><BR>He added: ‘As many others and we have
expected, the two American war criminals talked about what they called security
and political progress to give hope to the ignorant about progress and victory,
which are considered impossible. <BR><BR>‘Where is this progress when American
soldiers have been falling every day at the hands of the valiant Iraqi national
resistance? <BR><BR>‘Where is this progress when the blood of the Iraqis is
running like rivers in Iraqi streets and when thousands of Iraqis are entering
the prisons of the occupation, its militias, and its government? <BR><BR>‘Where
is this progress when the Iraqi citizen is no longer secure about himself, his
family, his house, and his property? <BR><BR>‘Where is this progress when high
walls surround the neighbourhoods of Baghdad, isolating them from each other,
and many of them have become ghettos, thanks to the sectarian and ethnic
cleansing supervised by the American occupation services and the security
services of the agent government and its militias? <BR><BR>‘Where is this
progress when tens of thousands of Iraqis are fleeing daily to the fraternal
neighbour Syria to escape the hell of the occupation, bringing the number of
displaced Iraqis outside the country to more than four millions and inside the
country to more than two millions? <BR><BR>‘Where is this progress when public
services have deteriorated and the most important of them, like electricity and
water, have disappeared and when the occupation had returned Iraq to the
pre-state era – that is, to more than 6,000 years back? <BR><BR>‘Where is this
progress when the American occupation’s ground, air, and missile forces have
continued to launch daily savage attacks on Iraqi houses, work places, and
concentrations? Where is this progress when the pro-Iranian sectarian parties
and militias and the death squads associated with the American, British,
Israeli, and Iranian intelligence are continuing to kill, deport, displace, and
kidnap Iraqis opposed to the occupation and Iraqis that do not belong to the
occupation parties in all parts of Iraq, irrespective of their religious,
ethnic, and tribal affiliations?’<BR><BR>‘The Ba’ath Party representative said:
The attempts of the American war administration to divert the attention of the
voters, legislators, and the American public through fabricated reports, tables,
and charts will not help this administration to save itself from its dark
fate.<BR><BR>‘A humiliating and disgraceful collapse is awaiting it. The scene
of the big flight from the roof of the American embassy in Saigon is looming in
the horizon before millions of Americans.<BR><BR>‘That is, unless this
administration makes a decision, acts realistically, and sits with the
administration of the Iraqi national resistance to discuss ending its
occupation, withdrawing from Iraq, and fulfilling its obligations as an
occupation country that invaded and occupied an independent, sovereign, and UN
founding member state, dismantled its state, and ruined the lives of its people
without any reason.<BR><BR>‘This report and other attempts to patch and beautify
the ugly and grim face of the occupation will only increase the determination of
the Iraqi people to uphold their national liberation and jihadist project
represented by the Iraqi national resistance factions and all the national,
pan-Arab, Islamic, and tribal forces, organisations, and figures. <BR><BR>‘This
project is gaining strength, support and influence, and is getting closer to its
ultimate goal, which is the liberation of Iraq, the restoration of its
sovereignty and independence, and the freedom of its people, God willing.
<BR><BR>‘It will only add failure, disgrace, and decline to the American
colonialist project, leading it to final and major collapse and imminent
definite and terrifying defeat with God’s help.’</FONT></DIV>
