Anyone who reads the preamble of this resolution, which we will discuss, knows full well that it is full of lies against Iraq.

This resolution is a flagrant and insolent threat to the sovereignty and independence of Iraq.

International Relations Committee chairman

This resolution includes many provocative measures that show no respect to our people's dignity.

This resolution seeks to create a crisis and paves the way for aggression instead of a peaceful solution.

We can say that this resolution is bad and unfair in the full sense of the word.

In point of fact, it has nothing to do with disarmament.

It is a flagrant and insolent threat to the sovereignty and independence of Iraq, a flagrant interference in its domestic affairs, and a violation of its national security.

Therefore, the Arab and International Relations Committee of the National Assembly recommends the following:

We support our leadership and leader struggler Saddam Hussein, may God protect him, in confronting the US hegemony until we achieve victory or die as martyrs standing up

Assembly member Nayif Shamdakh

• Rejecting UNSC Resolution 1441 and not approving it based on the views of our people, who placed their trust in us as their representatives.

• Recalling the previous National Assembly resolutions ... the Arab and International Relations Committee recommends that the political leadership be authorised to take whatever action it deems fit to defend the Iraqi people, their independence, and their dignity, and to authorise leader President Saddam Hussein, may God watch over him, to take whatever action he deems appropriate.

As representatives of the Iraqi people, we reject, condemn, and denounce this resolution.

We support what our leadership will decide on this resolution in accordance with the higher interests of our country.

We support our leadership and Saddam Hussein, may God protect him, in confronting the US hegemony until we achieve victory or die as martyrs standing up.

The United States resorted to the Security Council "to obtain a false legitimacy for its aggression... after the failure of all its attempts to harm Iraq, break its will, and install an agent regime, which would decide the fate of its people".

The mandate given the inspection teams are "in total violation of all the internationally adopted principles not to mention their violation of the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence of Iraq".
