    On 15 December 2005, more than 10 million Iraqi citizens thronged to the voting pools to elect a new Iraqi Parliament from which a national government will be emanated after long years of the democracy's absence in the former regime of Saddam Husayn This participation confirmed that the Iraqi citizens are ready for democracy, unlike what others circulate that the Iraqi population is far from democracy. This experiment proved the genuineness of Iraqi people and showed their unity between its religious and ethnic components. It was a very obvious message written by all Iraqis to the terrorist powers which came from out side the borders , that they are able to draw the picture of their future by their own hands and by the help of the good , faithful and honest Iraqis, Regardless of religion, nationality or sect. The role of your sons in the security services, such as ours, was to protect the electors from the terrorist operations, to ensure the freedom of elections, and to monitor the lurking people who are against this unique democracy in the Middle East. Within these democratic celebrations, we expect Iraq will be a secure and peaceful country, able to spread the light of democracy, to enlighten the dark corners which this country has struggled through these passed eras, looking forward to a new journey to build and construct our country Iraq. Our service will be the sure hand to protect the new democracy in Iraq, among other security services, and we will be the sleepless eyes to protect all Iraqis, without exception, to serve the expectations of this great population. General Director Of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service

    "The Security Council today ended a week of closed negotiations by unanimously adopting adjustments to the "oil-for-food" programme for Iraq, giving Secretary-General Kofi Annan more authority to administer the programme for the next 45 days.\n\nThe programme, created in 1995 to ease the impact of the sanctions imposed following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, permitted Iraq to use part of its oil revenues for food and medicine and has been the only sustenance for some 60 per cent of Iraq's people. It was suspended on 17 March when the Secretary-General withdrew United Nations personnel from Iraq, just prior to the start of military action."

  • Our common security is challenged by regional conflicts -- ethnic and religious strife that is ancient, but not inevitable. In the Middle East, there can be no peace for either side without freedom for both sides
  • Had Saddam Hussein been appeased instead of stopped, he would have endangered the peace and stability of the world. Yet this aggression was stopped -- by the might of coalition forces and the will of the United Nations. To suspend hostilities, to spare himself, Iraq's dictator accepted a series of commitments. The terms were clear, to him and to all. And he agreed to prove he is complying with every one of those obligations. He has proven instead only his contempt for the United Nations, and for all his pledges. By breaking every pledge -- by his deceptions, and by his cruelties -- Saddam Hussein has made the case against himself.
  • n 1991, Security Council Resolution 688 demanded that the Iraqi regime cease at once the repression of its own people, including the systematic repression of minorities -- which the Council said, threatened international peace and security in the region. This demand goes ignored.

  • he founding members resolved that the peace of the world must never again be destroyed by the will and wickedness of any man. We created the United Nations Security Council, so that, unlike the League of Nations, our deliberations would be more than talk, our resolutions would be more than wishes. After generations of deceitful dictators and broken treaties and squandered lives, we dedicated ourselves to standards of human dignity shared by all, and to a system of security defended by all.
  • Tens of thousands of political opponents and ordinary citizens have been subjected to arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, summary execution, and torture by beating and burning, electric shock, starvation, mutilation, and rape. Wives are tortured in front of their husbands, children in the presence of their parents -- and all of these horrors concealed from the world by the apparatus of a totalitarian state.
  • In 1993, Iraq attempted to assassinate the Emir of Kuwait and a former American President. Iraq's government openly praised the attacks of September the 11th. And al Qaeda terrorists escaped from Afghanistan and are known to be in Iraq.
  • U.N. inspectors believe Iraq has produced two to four times the amount of biological agents it declared,
  • s we meet today, it's been almost four years since the last U.N. inspectors set foot in Iraq, four years for the Iraqi regime to plan, and to build, and to test behind the cloak of secrecy.
  • Just months after the 1991 cease-fire, the Security Council twice renewed its demand that the Iraqi regime cooperate fully with inspectors, condemning Iraq's serious violations of its obligations. The Security Council again renewed that demand in 1994, and twice more in 1996, deploring Iraq's clear violations of its obligations. The Security Council renewed its demand three more times in 1997, citing flagrant violations; and three more times in 1998, calling Iraq's behavior totally unacceptable. And in 1999, the demand was renewed yet again.
