Temmuz returns to us, to its nation, carrying the tools of building and construction, having acquired, from experience, wisdom and sharpness, and from its interaction with others, lessons and broadmindedness.

This time, however, Temmuz also returns armed in addition to all of this, with its sword, bow and spear, carrying its shield or gun and cannon, mounting its tank, or poised in its battle-trench...

The US wants Saddam Hussein ousted

Temmuz returns to say to all evil tyrants and oppressors of the world: You will never defeat me this time. Never! Even if you come together from all over the world, and invite all the devils as well, to stand by you, support or incite you.

Temmuz returns to us, to you, dear brothers, to meet the level of your struggle and your jihad. But its resolve, this time, is deep-rooted, with Allah's grace...

My brothers, you are the wound of my soul whenever you are wounded or hurt by a foreign power or its lackeys.

You are most precious to me and to every man of honour and courage, as you ably confront injustice and aggression, refusing to allow the arrows of the tyrant and his stooges to touch your spirit, your determination, your conviction, your stand, your will and your loyalty.

My brothers, my sons, my soul; you who are true to the bond and the holy struggle in Iraq, Palestine and the larger Arab homeland, or wherever you might be in its arenas, here we are, recalling with you your revolution, celebrating the beginnings of its march...

Your revolution, in all its triumphs and at all levels of its sublime meanings, and in your satisfaction in it, reflects your values, and those of your strong, resilient, heroic and loyal people, the glorious people of faithful believers in Iraq...

Foreign rattling

Is it not my duty to draw your attention to this fact... that the wind will blow away foreign rattling as the noise of an evil covetous tyrant, the enemy of Allah, and that Iraq will emerge eventually triumphant?

Fight with valour, chivalry, patience and resolve, as you have always done when forced to fight defending your accomplishments, your effective spirit and your faith.

These are the sources of establishing our edifice, and of the prosperity, independence, liberty, solidarity, justice and fairness to which you aspire.
