Interview with Sabah Jawad, Director Iraqi Democrats against occupation, London.''US wants to control Iraq indefinitely'' http://www.abna.ir/data.asp?lang=3&Id=251227

Q: What do you make of this story that Washington is asking the Iraqi government for money?

Sabah Jawad: Yes absolutely, This is coming hot on the heels of a previous request from six weeks ago when we had a delegation from the US Congress that had the audacity to ask for compensation for the American soldiers who got killed in Iraq and in the occupation as well. Iraq needs to be compensated for the damage the US and Britain has caused in Iraq since 2003. And even before then if you take into consideration the economic sanction and the mass suffering that was inflicted on Iraq from 1991 to 2003 as well.

So Iraq is entitled to a lot of compensation from the US and Britain. But instead of that we have US Congressmen and the US demanding even more blood from the Iraqi people, sucking their blood dry.They want to remain in Iraq, but the Iraqi people will not let them stay here any longer because as long as they stay there in Iraq we have no future of reconstruction, of prosperity, of independence, of sovereignty as well.
