The Iraqis will remember and will not forget that on 8th August 1990 Kuwait became part of Iraq legally, constitutionally, and actually. They will remember and will not forget that it remained throughout this period from 8 August 1990 and until last night when withdrawal began and today we will complete withdrawal of our forces, God willing.

         Today certain circumstances made the Iraqi army withdraw as a result of the ramifications, which we mentioned, including the combined aggression by 30 countries. Their repugnant siege has been led in evil and aggression by the machine and the criminal entity of America and its major allies.

         These malicious ranks look the depth and effectiveness of their aggressiveness not only from their aggressive premeditated intentions against Iraq, the Arab nation and Islam but also from the position of those who were deceived by the claim of international legitimacy. Everyone will remember that the gates of Constantinople were not opened before the Muslims in the first struggling attempt, and that the international community (places) dear Palestine's freedom and independence in oblivion.

         When new measures spring forth and the familiar, traitorous, subservient, and corrupt (people) and tyrants are rejected then the opportunity for the cultivation of the pure soil will increase in its scope, and the seeds of this plant will take root deep in the good land.

(Radiance, 10-16 March 1991)
