Iraq: The Program Of Liberation
And Independence

By Ibrahim Ebeid

03 November, 2006
Countercurrents.org

The United States Media failed to bring to our homes the reality of the war in Iraq. The war that our consecutive governments were launching against Iraq since 1991, a brutal war accompanied with a genocidal blockade unprecedented in history that created massive mass graves in the Land of the Cradle of our Civilization.

Our politicians and representatives are competing among themselves on how to win the war of aggression in Iraq in order to gain our votes. None of them whether Republican or Democrat has the guts to admit that we are the aggressors and the war has to come to an end.

The events in the ground in Iraq assure us that America and its allies are loosing the war; our generals are admitting the fact that we are loosing it but our President is still lying to us and claiming that the war is to defend America against the terrorists! Who are the terrorists but us? We have sent our troops thousands of miles away, to kill people that never caused any harm to us, and to destroy a country that gave us the foundation of our modern civilization.

We are creating massive mass graves, here in the United States and in Iraq. About 3000 US troops and more than 600,000 Iraqis already were slaughtered since 2003 to satisfy the ego of our President who keeps saying he “will stay the course”, “we cannot cut and run”, and our candidates are dreaming how to exit from this mess by supporting the war in their own way.

The democracy we are imposing on Iraq became a laughable matter, no body in a sound mind believes in it except our President, Mr. George W. Bush.

Recently, Al Jazeera Satellite Television broadcasted The Political Program of the Baath and its National Resistance: The Program of Liberation and Independence. The Program was well received by the millions of Arabs and boosted their faith in the Iraqi Resistance. The Program reflected the conviction of the Iraqi people, the Baath Party and the National Resistance for total Liberation and Independence of Iraq. Our Media accustomed to put us in the dark and did not mention a word about this important document that may save our face and salvage what is left of our smeared reputation in the World.

The Document offers the United States an exit and salvation; it would put an end to the sufferings of the Iraqi people if our Administration accepts it and honors it, or we would face a sure defeat and humiliation if we reject the offer.

We Americans must recognize the Iraqi National Resistance in all its armed and political factions as the sole representative of the Iraqi people. We must admit that the sectarian government that we installed in the “Green Zone” is not capable of restoring peace, prosperity and security to Iraq, therefore it must be abolished and the legal government led by Mr. Saddam Hussein must be restored. The majority of the people of Iraq are demanding its restoration, as it was demonstrated to us, in the continuous demands of the release of President Saddam Hussein and his colleagues.

Our government must totally withdraw from Iraq, unconditionally, in a specific time determined between the Iraqi Resistance and the occupiers.

Iraq sovereignty and national independence must be recognized, respected and safeguarded.

To arrive to an honorable solution for an exit from Iraq, as stated by the Program, the United States must accept serious, honest and constructive negotiations with the Resistance leadership or with any one representing the Resistance based on the rights and the non-negotiable principles of the homeland and liberation, in order to reach an agreement of the total liberation and independence.

Also the United States must be responsible for its war of aggression, and must admit that it was in violation of International Law and Regulations.

The Courts, tribunals, the laws and the “Constitution” we enforced upon Iraq must be annulled for their illegality.

All prisoners of war must be released, including the President and all members of the Leadership.

The new sectarian “army” and “Police force” must be replaced by the old legal army and police force.

All institutions that we annulled must be reinstated and Iraq must be compensated for all the destruction, harm and injuries we inflicted upon Iraq and its people.

American children are dying for a war of our creation that we must be responsible for and we must bring it to an end. We must recognize the Resistance as the sole representative of the Iraqi People and we must accept its Program, or we must brace ourselves for a more humiliating defeat than Vietnam.
