The aggression is over . . . . The liberation has
begun.

We would have been able to resist for years. So what
has happened? How did everything collapse suddenly
like this? Who gave the keys of Baghdad to Hulagu
this time?

Historians must analyze how the tragedy came about.
As for us, we are busying ourselves at this moment
with making history, not with sitting down to relate
it.

Immediately the leaderships of the patriotic forces
from all regions of Iraq undertook a series of intense
communications that ended with the formation of the
National Front for the Liberation of Iraq. Field
representatives of various armed groups took part in
its establishment. The Resistance Brigades, some of
which until now are still holding their positions,
joined it as did the volunteers from the fraternal
Arab regions. In addition, a regrouping has begun of a
large number of officers and men of the army and the
Republican Guard and the Special Forces, after they
had split apart and remained without leaders. Iraq
has been defeated. But it is not dying or
surrendering.

We will not permit ourselves to be ruled by the
Zionist general Garner, the close friend of Sharon.
We will not permit ourselves to be ruled by the thief
of Baghdad named Ahmad Chelebi, or the thieving Gang
of the Forty, such as Nizar al-Khazraji, Nuri Abd
Al-Razzaq, Mahdi al-Hafiz, Adham as-Samarra'i, Abd
al-Hasan Zilzilah, or others on that list of
collaborators with the CIA or the Mossad.

Proud Iraq will never accept the distribution of its
territory or its wealth to the war criminals and
invading murderers, or the sectarian or ethnic
fragmentation of its people in accordance with the
plans of the modern Mongols - the Zionists and the
Americans. The whole world will witness an epic of
legendary liberation that will not close until every
inch of its revolutionary soil has been purged.

All that we seek is the backing of the one Arab people
throughout the Arab homeland from Tangier to Doha.
What is happening in plundered Palestine, in the south
of the Sudan, and the dirty threats against some
fraternal states, cannot be separated from the
barbarous assault on Iraq. This is all one wound.
This is one battle. This is against one enemy. And we
must also take a stand in the trench of armed struggle
as one people.

The National Front for the Liberation of Iraq.

On a related matter has anyone seen any discussion of these developments in the corporate media? Surely if we were serious about 'winning the peace' in Iraq rather than simply bathing in our own glory this would be a major issue of concern.
