Good evening...

After the forming of the new Iraqi government, elected for four coming

years, the Iraqi National Speech is beginning to appear clearly, by

individuals in the new government, in the Parliament, or the media

belonging to them. Or by independent Iraqi people who began to have

the courage to talk in a way different from what the former, interim

governments used to do, governments that were completely prostrate for

the occupation, their speech full of lies, forging truths, and

misleading people.

Thank God, the first thread is beginning to appear; the thread of

dawn, and I am so happy.

This is what I always used to say; when an Iraqi government, with a

least amount of national Unity, is formed, the Iraqis will feel they

are stronger, and will start to direct their eyes towards the

occupier, seeing his faults, and wondering as to the reason of his

existence on the land of Iraq.

************************

This, for example, is the problem of Basra, in the south of Iraq.

For months now, the security conditions deteriorated, and the militia

of organized crime spread; killing, robbing, and dislodging families.

They fought among themselves to export oil from the Port of Basra,

they fought with the Governor of Basra to seize the authority to rule

the city from him, and these militia are feared by the Iraqi Police

Force in Basra.

Meaning- it is a power higher than the authority of the Governor, the

Police, and the heads of tribes there. And they are all of one sect;

all are Shia'at militia.

And the question is: who brought those criminals and thieves, and gave

them authorities to become the upper power in the city?

No one has an answer, for chaos hit all of Iraq, after Mr. Premer -

God bless him- disbanded the Iraqi army, and turned the Iraqi streets

into theaters for militias, death groups, and the organized crime, and

the Iraqis will keep remembering him till the end of history,

remembering his accomplishments and heroic acts, like those of the

genius American administration in Iraq, for more than three years now.

********************************

And the funny thing in the Basra story is, that there are some 8000

British soldiers there.

What are those lovely people doing there?

They weren't able to stop the violence, the robbing and looting, the

sectarian dislodgment committed by the criminal gangs, nor the

stealing and smuggling of the Iraqi oil from the Iraqi ports to the

neighbors.

And thus the innocent question: What are those British heroes doing

here? If they couldn't solve the problems of Basra, then what exactly

is their role?

Yesterday, the new Iraqi Premier, with the President's Deputy, went to

Basra, and met the Governor, the head of Police, and the heads of

tribes. They started preparing a security plan containing a curfew and

Iraqi Army check points, so that the Army's dignity would be restored

among people. Negotiations are going on about the militia involved in

the problems, most of whom are trained by and financed from outside

the boarders of Iraq, in order to curb them, and break its control

over the city.

**********************************

This is what we reaped from the occupier's policies.

They tore the country apart, creating for us the atmospheres of

violence, killings, sectarianism, militias, and death gangs. In Basra,

there is a tremendous percentage of unemployment among the young men,

along with the shortages of services; water supply and electricity, a

bad financial condition, and a multitude of administrational

corruption, and thefts of public funds.

The condition in Basra is but a miniature picture of the conditions in

Iraq as a whole.

This is what we reaped from the occupier's policies.

Are they fools, not to know how to run the country?

Or is it their intention to rip the country apart, spread chaos and

ruin, then stand up to cry?

I do not exactly know, but whoever announces them innocent from what

is happening in Iraq, is one of two- either a fool, or a collaborator.

We cannot believe them to be innocent, and their hands are clean from

what is happening in Iraq; the killing, and the destruction, for more

than three years now.

******************************

The story of the massacre of Hadeetha, and what they did in the small

town, fills the news bulletins today.

I don't know how the facts are ignored by the media, and then

suddenly, they wake up from a deep sleep, and become humanitarians,

crying and feeling sorry for the victims.

When I was in America a month and a half ago, I saw an article in the

Daily San Francisco, talking about that incident; about the killing of

more than 15 Iraqi civilians, from two families or more, at the hands

of Marine soldiers in Hadeetha, as they fired at the heads of the

victims, old and young.

At that time, I had a meeting with some university students in San

Francisco, and I took the newspaper with me, and told them: Look,

these are stories of what the occupation forces are usually doing in

Iraq. If there had been a film maker, he would have picked up the

incident, and exposed the crime, and the principles would say: Ah, but

these are individual actions, and we shall punish them.

Actually- they aren't individual actions; they are a daily

recklessness with the souls of the Iraqis. But one of the former

interim governments, in collaboration with the occupation, evaluated

the Iraqi human life with $2000, between them and the occupation. And

so, whenever an Iraqi was killed due to the recklessness of a soldier

of the occupation, the problem was solved by paying $2000 for each

victim, and that's that.

That's how their crimes were covered up, in collaboration with our

dear, former governments, of which history will write black pages,

just like their black, shameful acts.

The American administration is now ill at ease to talk about this

scandal, promising to start an investigation.

God be Praised; just like they investigated the scandals of Abu

Ghareeb, then sentenced the accused to six months, or more, or less.

And what would be the use?

Would they stop committing these shameful acts?

This morning, in Samara, a driver in a civilian car was carrying two

Iraqi women in his car, one of them going through labor to give birth,

on their way to hospital. The car didn't quite stop at the check

point, so they opened fire onto the car. The two women were killed

instantly.

This morning on TV, they showed an interview with the miserable

driver; he was hysterical, shouting, explaining, talking about the

brutality of the occupation soldiers, and how they blew the heads of

the victims in his car, ending his talk by saying: God curse the

occupation, and whoever brought the occupation upon us...

Oh yes, these are now the curses of the Iraqis, day and night.

And the occupation and those who brought it started to reap the fruits

they deserve from the Iraqis; who had had enough of injustice and

suffering, and reaped nothing but more losses. Losses that reached up

to everything; starting from money and souls, ending with dignity and

pride.

What would someone who lost everything do?

Should he give up, and go to sleep?

Or wake up from his slumber to stop the bleeding of losses, and look

for the reason of the calamities that befell him?

********************************

There are still a lot of dolts from the American people who still

support the war on Iraq, considering it as a matter of personal pride

for them.

The strange thing is, the American people are two very different

kinds. A kind that is very good-natured, peaceful, who love and

respect the others, believing in the idea of not interfering into the

other's business, and not stealing the other's wealth. This kind I

respect very much, and I am proud that I have many friends (men and

women) from among them, as if they carry the hearts of Iraqis in their

chests, for much they love Iraq, and feel sad about what is happening

to its people....

And there is a kind that is hatfule, arrogant, over proud, and mean,

believing he is better than others, that others deserve to die so he

should live, and deserve to have their wealth robbed, so he could have

luxury. You would feel sorry to spit on their faces, lest the spit

would get dirty. This reminds me of a sentence my late father, (God

bless his soul), used to say, when describing some people who are the

meanest possible:

Some people if you hit them with a shoe, the shoe would ask; why do

you hit me?

Hahaha

Those fools, with their eyes and ears shut; they do not see, do not

hear, and do not comprehend.

And after years of misery for the miserable Iraqis, I discovered that

the best solution is to ignore these insects; let them buzz as they

like, like flies do around horses.

Those are the flies...

And the horses here are the honest Iraqis, who work day and night, in

every possible way, to save their country and countrymen from

disasters, and push the occupier out as soon as possible.

We know that the occupier is hanging on to Iraq with his hands, legs,

nails, and teeth...

But by the will of God, we shall pluck them out...

And they will get out of Iraq, like it or not

They will get out

It is only a matter of time
