Statement to the House
Prime Minister Mohammed Naser
"I am here to share dark news with this house. We are facing a civil war led by sunni factions lead by ex-President Saddam Hussein. Iraqi army personnel have been attacked and some soldiers are missing in action, presumed taken hostage or dead. The city of Tikrit is currently an active warzone with unknown casualties on both sides, including unfortunately civilians. In the face of crisis, we must remain level headed and strong willed to protect our great nation. I have authorised the use of Iraqi Air Force assets to assist our forces to safely bring about a conclusion to the security crisis.
Soldiers have been attacked trying to protect the democracy we all hold dear. I have ordered the Minister of Defence to prepare a large scale task force to return the rule of law to Saladin and arrest Saddam Hussein. Special forces and additional forces are on their way to the combat area as part of Operation Pegasus.
Members of the house, I bring before you a bill that is required to fight the current rebellion being led by Saddam Hussein in the sunni triangle. I call on all members of this house to support this bill. We must fight hard, fight strong and swiftly to prevent a return to the dark days of Saddamism.
We call on all members of this house to give our soldiers the equipment, funding and legal powers they require to defend our great nation and return peace and justice. We have already lost lives in the conflict, we must act decisively to prevent further loss of life."
