To sum up, the West and some regimes that revolve in its orbit want a weak Iraq plagued with rivalries for their own interests. Iraq is not the only target, but other countries with large populations and regional importance are being targeted, such as Syria, Egypt, Iran and others. If a strong Iraq makes a comeback, it will pose a threat to the US and Israel and their interests, and it will also pose an economic threat to Saudi Arabia, an American ally. In addition, it will pose a threat to Turkey, which is an American, European and NATO ally. For this reason, Iraq’s instability serves their interests.

Just tell me, if there had been no collusion by the government and the security sectarian sectors with all their levels, these explosions would not have happened or others would not happen, God forbid, in future. The Airport Highway is provided with patrols and guards that are equipped with sensors and ultra sonic devices (sonar) which use rays to inspect each car in addition to the trained dogs, so how did these two cars enter unless they had the special government cards?? That means the government plays openly to confirm to people the police deficiency in order to win votes.

Explosions in Iraq, supporting chaos in Egypt and inciting discord in Tunisia are managed by one side, America and Israel and Gulf rulers…For one reason that democracy and elections in Iraq and Egypt and Tunisia and any other Arab country is a very big threat to these regimes.

O God I swear all these explosions are planned by Israel and Iran to kill the largest number of Iraqis and the doers are the ruling parties in Iraq. O Iraqis unite among you with all your categories and deter terrorism and terminate it from your country, with your unity and consciousness you'll be able to get rid of those terrorists and I swear to Almighty God that all these blasts and murder and terrorist acts are by Israel and Iran supported by America. O Iraqis wake up you are done, you honor and your land are being usurped by Israel and Iran, they kill you in cold blood through your political parties.
