The Lion in　his den, his excellency　Izzat Ibrahim Al Duri,　the Supreme Commander of the Jihad and Liberation, has called upon the Iraqi glorious Resistance to intensify its strikes against the bloodthirsty US invaders and their debased mercenaries.

In a lengthy speech, the legitimate Vice President of martyr President Saddam Hussein advised criminal US President George W. Bush not to be deluded by the capability of US military might. The glorious Land between the two rivers,　Mesopotamia, the land of revelation, the Land of civilization, the Land of the generous faith of Islam, has buried with the hands of her sons and daughters other tyrannical empires such as the pagan Persian fire worshippers' empire, the decadent Roman empire　and many others before the advent of the present bloodthirsty invaders.

The Lion in his den in glorious Iraq challenged criminal Bush to tell the peoples of the US the accurate numbers of the US killed soldiers and mercenaries in Iraq and reveal the real losses the US has suffered　at the hands of the glorious Iraqi Resistance, the heir of Sumer, the heir of Akkad, the heir of Babylon, the sons and daughters of the glorious Islamic faith. Sooner or later the peoples of the US will discover the real formidable losses in men and equipment the US has endured on the sacred soil of Iraq, heretofore concealed by Bush and the official　Media whores. What will he tell the American people then, and what will be their response?

Mentioning　the　blackout which the western Media whores use to ignore the　deeds of the Iraqi glorious Resistance which are leading to　the collapse of　the US evil empire,　His excellency Izzat Al Duri said to the bloodthirsty criminal US president Bush:

"Stop fooling the world! Stop deceiving the US peoples. " Haven't you had enough of killing, murdering, displacing and torturing the Iraqi people..?

His Excellency Mr. Izzat Al Duri, at the end of his speech called upon all the Resistance factions to unite and to concentrate on combating the bloodthirsty US enemy and his servile tails.

Here is the　full text of the speech of his Excellency Izzat Ibrahim Al Duri, the supreme Commander for Jihad and Liberation.

A greeting of respect,　of honor and of pride　to　your generous person and your　 ever-ready Jihadi soul. You are indeed a vanguard revolutionary militant and a courageous and heroic combatant. You are intrepid,　loyal, faithful, sincere and devoted. Your swift and precise achievement of　the mission you were entrusted to has　highly rejoiced the Jihad and Liberation High Command. You have accomplished this sacred　mission in keeping with the generous principles and the honorable values of our Party and our Nation in extraordinary difficult circumstances. Courageous combatant, you are　the revolutionary Baathist who is profoundly attached to the Baath principles,　a faithful and　a resolute　soldier. I am aware of the honorable and chaste patriotism that clad you and your combatant comrades which incarnates　the historical and missionary responsibility of the men who have a mission and want to convey a message and write history. This responsibility　

repudiates hesitation and despises　all fear, defeatism, passivity and caution.　I know men of religion who carry the message and　have a mission, their doctrine and their ethics being to trust in God, the all　mighty, the powerful. For He entrusted the Mujahideen believers to elevate the word of Justice, righteousness, liberation, emancipation　and freedom, to wipe out the aggression, injustice and tyranny against our immaculate homeland, which is the land of revelation, of prophets, the land of history, the land of civilizations, the land of glorious Arabdom and its eternal mission and its dignified Islamic faith.

I congratulate you, the intrepid combatant, for your courage and　enthusiasm in executing a hard　mission in very difficult　circumstances. I greet along with you all the generals and the commanders, of the armies, the brigades, and legions of Jihad and Liberation and their combatants and I call on them all to rise to this high level, the level of the generous principles of the Nation and the Homeland and to the level of our Jihadi supreme march and its great objectives, to the level of our glorious history and our most cherished heritage, to the level of the elite from amongst the Nation's men who guided its march throughout its long history, profoundly benefiting from every elements of force, creativity, heroism and sacrifice according to the will of the Lord, praised be His name and according to His orders.

Yes! We shall bring back the Nation to the position it deserves in life: a promising, and a creative nation which writes down history and builds human civilizations for the benefit and welfare of humankind. Thus, our blessed Nation will come back　thanks to you and for you as the Lord, hallowed be His name, wanted her to be, the　favored Nation which orders the good deeds and rejects evil and has faith in the Lord.

You have gone far to reach your objectives and　you have accomplished most important achievements on the path of liberation with your faith, with your perseverance, with your fighting spirit, with your heroic deeds, and with your generous sacrifices. You have destroyed the barbarians' tyranny and their despotism. You have ascertained to the whole world over that you are the sons and the daughters of the ancient, very ancient Iraq, Iraq of Sumer, Iraq of Akkad, Iraq of Babylon and Assyria, the sons and daughters of the cradle　of all civilizations and all messages and revelations, the base of the conquest of Arabdom and Islam. The people of Iraq, always protected　and guarded the Nation's eastern borders throughout its history,　sustaining their victories with determination and resolve. On your homeland were destroyed and at your hands and the hands of your eternal forefathers now resting in peace, the makers of history and the builders of civilizations. At your hands were eliminated the most tyrannical and the most despotic empires on earth. Broken were the fiercest evil institutions, the most harmful for the Nation and for　 humankind: the Persian empire with its hatred and its repulsion, the Roman empire and its aggression and ferocity, The Mongols, the Tartars. and many other invaders and their　supporters.　Near in mind the last Khomeini Safawi wave which was annihilated on your eastern borders and was squashed and the most recent　large imperialistic Zionist wave which came gathering every evil, aggression and tyrannical force on earth, backed by Safawi Khomeinists and all manner of treason, puppetry, hypocrisy, and apostasy inside and outside the Nation.　In spite of all that the glorious history of Iraq repeats itself today at your hands and through you.

Thus the great evil wave was broken to pieces on most cherished Baghdad's ramparts, on the doorsteps of the Eastern gate of the Nation, on the immaculate and sacred land of Iraq, the land of prophecies, the land of messengers, Seth, Noah, Idris, Abraham, Jonah and Job, may the Lord's blessings be upon all of them. Iraq is the land of Imams and the righteous, of the kindhearted men and women, of the　Imams of the law makers,　religious orders and truths. This land gave us The Lion of the Nation and its outstanding hero, Haidara the tireless combatant, may the Lord　have pity on him and bless his face. This Nation gave birth to the greatest martyr Al Hussein, the inspirer of　the Nation　to remain resolute, heroic and ready to give sacrifices until the day of Resurrection. May the Lord bless him. Also from the Nation sprout Al Zubayr Ibn al Awwam and Talha Al Khayr and those who followed them　from amongst the saint　companions, and their God fearing disciples. Lo! Our land was perfumed with the blood of these great men, hugging against her bosom their pure, scented and honorable remains. Debased and defeated were the invasion and the occupation forces under their feet.

That is how the　people of the great Iraq led by　its believing revolutionary vanguards records a new glorious history for the Nation and for humanity. asserting its existence and renewing its role as the brain of the Arabs and the treasure of the faith.　

Knights of the Jihad! Trust unto the Lord! Ye heroes of the greatest battle!　Be absolutely certain that he who trusts in God, God will satisfy him and tend for him. Does the Lord forget his servant? Isn't the Lord almighty? Praised be His name! He promised from everlasting eternity　to back His servant　believers, and He uttered in His righteous word: " To give triumph to the believers is Justice." and He also said: "The Lord defends those who believe, the Lord dislikes traitors and unbelievers! He defends those who believe in Him and those who believe in the Jihad as the path to elevate His word and for the triumph of His religion and to convey His message. He loves them and they love Him. He is satisfied with them, and they are satisfied with Him. He loathes traitors, hypocrites and renegades. He will not have mercy on them on the day of Judgment, neither will He absolve them. For their dwelling place will be Gehanna for ever and ever..

If the Lord gives you triumph, no one will prevail upon you! He will throw fear and deception in the hearts of your enemies. Know for sure that the true faith of God　is the faith of the Arab nation, it is its eternal message. It is　none of the sects, groups and clans. It is not the religion of charlatans, liars and destruction. It was the eternal message of the Nation, to salvage humanity from the darkness of impiety, polytheism, aggression, injustice, ignorance and backwardness and every kind of vice, and brings it to the light of truth, justice, freedom, and emancipation, 　and away from the jungle law where the bigger devours the smaller and where the powerful enslaves the weak. to the celestial　law, a revelation which spreads justice, truth, freedom, security, safety and peace and resuscitates　the Nation anew to play its civilizational role, renewing its life, enabling it to bloom, to prosper and continue building the human civilizations where human beings find their happiness according to the will of the Lord, hallowed be His name.

Be sure, ye hero Mujahideen belonging to　every faction of the patriotic, national and Islamic Resistance, that at the very time we undertake the Jihad to liberate our most cherished homeland to purify it from the filth of the barbarian occupier invaders and from their puppets, we carry a message to all the world, to the homeland and to humanity, that　here on your land, the immaculate land of Iraq, the Nation will triumph, humanity will triumph and　justice will triumph. Evil shall be defeated. Here on our land, freedom shall triumph and the sun of the truth will shine in the universe, chasing away the darkness and destroying the aggression and in that day the believers will rejoice with the victory granted by the Lord.

And I say in your name, Mujahedeen, and in the name of the glorious Iraqi people, to the invaders occupiers and to their puppets and servile tails, and I say to the sons and daughters of our Nation, rulers and ruled and in particular our brothers, the rulers, kings, presidents and princes.. and we say to our　great Arab people and to its Parties, organizations, institutions and specially its Arab League and we say to the world, countries and peoples, institutions and international and regional organizations, and mainly the United Nations and its institutions: I tell them all that our homeland is occupied, invaded by the US imperialists　and the international Zionism, backed by the Safawi Khomeinists. They have destroyed our homeland, they murdered our people, they displaced it, scattered it and they continue to destroy, to divide, to murder and to displace in broad daylight and in front of the eyes and ears of the world.

People! This is our problem and nothing else. You know pretty well that the barbarian invaders will not quit our country unless　we oust them by force. They will quit when their losses on the land of Iraq will overwhelm their cupidity and their evil intentions, and when their staying in our country will be a menace to their entire world imperialistic entity. You know also　that this shall not be achieved without intensifying　a　continuously growing resistance as long as this occupier- invader exists on the land of Iraq and until the ousting of the last invading occupier without any condition, and according to our well-established principles and rights.

We the resisting people of Iraq are most　concerned with our right and our homeland and　we inform you that all the projects which are cooked up and suggested inside or outside Iraq which don't recognize or don't back the armed Resistance　as the sole and unique legitimate representative of the people of Iraq will not be tolerated　 and on this basis the Iraqi glorious Resistance is resolved to go ahead with combating the enemy until the utter and complete liberation from all forms of colonialism, hegemony, exploitation and blackmail.

Here we seize this opportunity to warn every Arab organization and mainly the Arab League and every international institution and specially the United Nations from starting to get involved　and participating in such projects which are cooked and prepared in the US/CIA　and Zionism’s murky laboratories. We tell the invaders and President Bush that the people of Iraq is the people of civilizations, of humanity and of a message and mission. The people of Iraq belongs to the land and the land belongs to the people of Iraq and has a long glorious history it wrote and made. The Iraqi people belongs to the glorious Nation chosen by the Lord. It belongs to the Islamic religion which has a message to convey and its religion is its life which shone all over the universe.　How this glorious great people can　ever abandon its homeland on which it built the most important civilizations and which it watered with its pure blood. How can it ever abandon its ancient long and glorious history, written with its　precious blood? How can this people abandon its Arabness, which is the most cherished pearl it safeguards dearly? How is it possible for the people of Iraq to abandon its religion, identity, belonging, principles and values?

Don't get it wrong Mr. President and don't fool your people. The truth can't be hidden by a rag when it is shining like a sun day and night.

Just remember, and be cautious of the day where you will stand with the other tyrants and　despots such as pharaoh, Nimrod and bloodthirsty Hulagu and Genghis Khan, Mussolini and Stalin in front of the Almighty for your judgment and your harsh punishment.

The great people of Iraq will combat you whatever time this may take and despite your　arrogance, tyranny or lies. And God willing and with His help and support,　it will be　Iraq and　its soil　that will witness the collapse of your evil empire in the world.　

I tell you honorable president and in the name of the great people of Iraq and in the name of the glorious Arab nation, that the people of Iraq will continue combating you until the day of judgment. So quit our homeland, criminal adulterous invader. Haven't you had enough of murdering, displacing, destroying and demolishing the people? Haven't you had enough　of the epic battle you suffer　against the people of civilizations and its soldiers　who belong to the army of the Merciful, these angel-ghosts who petrify you and harass you in the day and don't let you sleep in the night. They destroyed your hollow arrogance, your daydreams and your evil intentions! Stop lying and stop fooling your　people and deceiving the world.

The heroic patriotic Resistance is growing and widening and we shall fight you open-endedly and continuously as long as you have a colonialist existence on our soil, whether　military, political, economical or dealing with security. Don't be drunk with your might. Before you, there were those as evil and powerful as you who claimed to be all-powerful and they were given the answer from the God almighty.

Today you see with your eyes your might collapsing on our soil and your allies and friends and men cutting and running one after the other. Don't be fooled by those who applaud for you from amongst the spies and　the puppets who drool running behind you to get some alms from your illegal stolen money. These have no significance whatsoever! They will go when you will go to the dustbins of history, cursed by the Lord, the angels and the human kind. You must know too, that everything is within the　people of Iraq's capable hands, a people which knows everything about your ruse and your wickedness.

Also you should know, adulterous criminal invader, that this people has established its life on continuous growing battle. This is the course the people of Iraq has decided upon, placing its trust in the Lord and victory comes only from the Lord, the wise the almighty.

Barbaric adulterous invader, our Resistance is not a regular official army that you oppose　with your official　 army, counting on your superiority in equipment and manpower to get some victory in this town one day and tomorrow in another. Our Army is not al Qaida which　allowed you to slaughter its men, and it is　neither the Mahdi army which induced you through its backward style to liquidate it militarily. I hereby extend my due respect and my profound love　and my pride for everyone who combats you on the soil of Iraq to liberate Iraq.　

You must know, criminal US President, that our Resistance is made of the soldiers of the Merciful, invisible to you and　whom your hands can't seize. They are protected by the Merciful and nobody knows except Him when they will reach you and where they will strike you and kill your bloodthirsty army rabble and destroy your hyper-developed war machine. They are the only ones who decide when and where to start and choose the quality, the volume and the objectives of any battle. They reject any battle that you plan and you decide. For the land is their land and the people is their people and the homeland is their homeland, the society is their society, and they have all the　time they need, for the initiative is within their hands in every detail of the struggle.

Again! Stop fooling your people and deceiving the world and lying, as you have done now for more than five years. Our　Resistance　is growing, prospering　and widening! If　it were not for al Qaida's strategic errors, your occupation　would have collapsed from the first year of the struggle.

You know this truth better than anybody else, Mr. President. I call on you to frankly announce the real numbers of your killed and the huge amount of your losses which the US peoples will discover soon whether you want them to or not. What will you tell the American people then and what will be their response to you?

I call upon all the Jihad factions, to whatever parties and organizations they belong, to unite and to target first and foremost the occupier for he is the head of the snake. Also strike at his known agents, the symbol of the puppet authority and the titular representatives of the supreme treason.　They should not　combat any one else but those who oppose them and must not be confused between the traitors, puppets and　the “authority” and the so called army, police, the Sahawat - awakening bands and the administration services, for these are with the people and its heroic Resistance. Necessity and need　forced them to join these services.

Combat the symbols of treason and puppetry who committed a formidable number of crimes in collaborating with the occupation of their country and the dispersion of its people. Combat no one　but those who oppose you, and combat in the name of the Lord those who deliver combat against you.

Don't aggress against anyone for God dislikes aggressors. God is trustworthy in His word.

So continue to intensify the strikes against the enemy every where open-endedly, in order to see this year as a start for the final decisive victory, with the Lord's will and His force, to destroy the enemy and liberate our homeland.
