Saddam Hussein's Speech on the Day of the End of the War with Ira
President Saddam Hussein's Speech on the 9th Anniversary
of (The Great Victory Day) marking the end of the war with Iran.
President Saddam Hussein made an important
comprehensive and nation wide address:
President Saddam Hussein has called on Iran to renounce the
policy of expansion, illegitimate ambitions, interference and deceit
and to adopt a policy of cooperation and mutual keenness to
stabilize and develop relations based on genuine and sincere
intentions.
In a comprehensive and important address to the people of Iraq and
the Arab nation and to Muslims and friends throughout the world
on the 9th Anniversary of Iraq's victory over Iran in 1988, the
President said " We are not content to hear from present Iranian
officials words without deeds , rather they must fulfill their non-
negotiable commitments at the forefront of which are the release of
Iraqi POW's and the return of Iraqi possessions including civilian
and military aircraft which were transferred to Iran with their
approval before and during the glorious Um Al-Ma'rik (The Mother
of All Battles) and entrusted with them."
The President added " Every step taken by Iran on these basis will
be met on our part with two balanced steps, the first responds to
theirs and the second reflects the concern of stability and security
in the region and to the mutual respect and balanced interests."
President Saddam Hussein went on to say " Other than that we will
not be content to see in Iran merely changing posts and replacing an
individual or a party with another."
Addressing Arabs, President Saddam Hussein said " The glorious
Second Qaddisyah Battle we are celebrating its victory now is a
state of salvation for you and for an important aspect of human
concepts. We did not envisage in the past nor do we now that
anyone could repulse evil at its full power and capability targeting
Arabs and their Eastern flank with such efficiency, patience and
willingness to sacrifice more than your brothers ,the Iraqis. Nor did
we envisage and still do not, that there is anyone who is more
capable and sincere to this nation than the Ba'th and its leadership
in the battle of Iraq to defend itself and the Arab nation."
The President said " Just as we as a nation repulsed the invasion of
the Crusaders on our nation in the past and just as we rejected and
still reject the 30-state aggression against our country and came out
victorious and with God's help we will, we also rejected the
aggressiveness of the impostors from Iran and came out victorious."
President Saddam Hussein urged Iranian officials " Not to mix their
political and economic relations with the Arabs and Iraq with the
desire to realize religious slogans and allegations with the aim of
expanding at the expense of Arabs, their security and stability.
They must be extremely careful in this regard and must realize that
nothing hidden can go on unexposed. They must not pursue a
double policy, one is out in the open and the second is planned in
secrecy waiting for an opportunity to implement it. Going into
conflict with the Arabs is costly since none of them is an easy prey
if he mobilizes the nation's spirit within himself to become a living
part of the nation."
President Saddam Hussein then tackled Iranian conduct before and
after the 30-state aggression against Iraq. He said " Leading Iranian
officials used to show concern to our comrades who visited Tehran
before the aggression , including the Vice-Chairman of Revolution
Command Council Comrade Izzat Ibrahim, that Iraq would not take
the initiative of attacking America's allies first . They used to tell
our visiting Comrades at the time that Iraq would come out
victorious if it was the first to attack the alley's armies and that it
would be defeated if it were to leave it to the allies "
The President added " Some may think that this is just a judgment
or a military view and not an attempt to push Iraq into early
confrontation under pressure of fear that this confrontation would
not occur and that the Iranians would lose the opportunity of
betrayal just as later happened after the cease-fire. At that time they
pushed the most evil of people amongst them who were trained on
this in addition to their intelligence officers ,later arrested in Iraq,
to burn and to destroy everything that was not reached by bombs of
the 30-state aggression in accordance with a prepared plan with the
finest details."
The President also touched upon Iran's refusal to release Iraqi
POW's registered with the Red Cross nearing 20,000 despite Iraq's
initiative on August 17,1990 and subsequent days when it released
all their POW's totaling more than 39,000 with the exception of
one pilot whose plane was downed over Iraqi territories on the 18th
of September 1980 to become one of the most important documents
of war for having attacked targets within our territories before Iraq's
reprisal to the Iranian aggressions. " These totaled 548 from the
period February 23rd, 1979 to September 4th, 1980 . During this
period Iraq submitted to Iran 293 memorandum of protests and
denunciation of the aggressions which ignited the eight-year-war. A
war which only came to a halt when Iran announced its total failure
to prolong it."
President Saddam Hussein then moved on to explain the details of
such behavior and said " This conduct has nothing to do with Islam
and real Muslims nor does it have anything to do with beliefs in
other faiths. Several heads of states of Islamic nations tried to put
an end to the war and so did other friendly nations, international
organizations and political and social personalities in addition to
Iraq's peaceful initiatives over the span of eight years. The total
number of such initiatives and calls for peace exceeded 215."
The President said " The war could have been averted had it not
been for those intransigent Iranian officials who pushed things to
the verge of the abyss."
President Saddam Hussein dealt in his speech with Iranian officials'
attempts to use the issue of Shiizm (the sect of followers of Imam
Ali) as a means to achieve their expansionist schemes saying " The
Arabs had preceded the Iranians in following Shiizm. It came to the
Arabs out of their conviction, sense of affiliation and respect not
through force as it was imposed on the Iranians when the then Shah
of Iran Ismail -Safawi forced it on his people early in the 16th
century as a means to challenge the Ottoman empire's' rule."
The President added " Whoever claims to be a Shiite, follower of
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) must adhere to the Imam's religious
and earthly conduct enabling him to reflect his principles and not
those of evil desires and fake preaching."
The President questioned " Is it the principles of Imam Ali (peace
be upon him) to murder and mutilate bodies of POW's after each
battle and to keep in captivity others for seventeen years in defiance
of all religious and earthly norms? Is it the principles of Imam Ali
(peace be upon him) to betray one's trusts and to confiscate them? "
This is a reference from President Saddam Hussein to Iraq's military
and civilian aircraft. Is it also the principles and conduct of Imam
Ali (peace be upon him) that Iran unleashes after the cease-fire with
(The Great Satan) its running dogs across the border with Iraq to
roam into Iraqi towns and villages devastated by the savage
American bombardment " defiling all sanctities, looting, killing and
raping during the phase of perfidy and treason when, in 1991, Iraq
and its Mujahideen were engaged in one of the most noble battles
of the nation against America and Zionism, the Um Al-Ma'rik?"
President Saddam Hussein added " Those Iranian officials, their
followers and those who pursued their footsteps are not the Shiites
of Ali and Al-Hussein (peace be upon them). They have harmed the
balanced principles of Shiizm which emerged within the Arab
nation . This rise came out natural based on love of prophet
Mohammed's descendants and his noble followers and based on
their principles and behavior."
The President concluded his speech saying " This victory of ours is
not based on such type of behavior nor it is based on such deviation
rather it is for safeguarding Iraq's rights and those of the Arab
nation. It is also a victory for those Iranians who discovered the
meaning of true belief and who no longer have a blindfold to cover
their minds or visions."
