Statement of the IFC:
On the Unjust Law to Pillage Iraq’s Oil

These days, there is increasing talk about the new oil law, especially after the cabinet approved it and referred it to the parliament. This law was drafted by one of the giant American oil companies and adopted — in fact, dictated — by the International Monetary Fund, the bloodsucker of the vast majority of deprived toilers around the world, which represents the direct will of the U.S. government and major cartels. This law was drafted in high secrecy, without any knowledge by al-Maliki government, whose only role is to put its signature on it. [more]

Appeal of the IFC Abroad Committee:
Build Chapters of the
Iraq Freedom Congress!

The US administration’s war and policies have turned Iraqi society into an unprecedented hell. Now, it lacks any of the features of a normal society. In space of few years, the war and occupation have destroyed this society, which was once civil and advanced in all aspects. Today, this society has nothing in common with its past. “Bloodbath” does not suffice to describe the blood that is shed in Iraq everyday. The two poles of terrorism — U.S. state terrorism, on the one hand, and the terrorism of the groups of political Islam, on the other hand — compete in committing more massacres on a daily basis against innocent people.

On the Fourth Anniversary of the U.S.-Led War on Iraq:
Let Us Raise the Freedom Flag
And Unify Our Ranks to Boot Out the
Occupation and Sectarian Gangs from Iraq

On this day we are commemorating the fourth year of the U.S.-led war on Iraq. This war has brought us nothing but carnage, poverty and more than two million displaced people. This is Bush’s promised democracy to Iraqis. Today, after four years of destruction, the Bush administration has announced its new strategy in Iraq by sending more troops to cause more agony, as if the current devastation is not enough. The present situation, such as a sectarian war that transformed the entire society into a military camp, is the product of the discriminatory policy that was plotted by the evil minds of the White House and Pentagon to plant hatred and division among the people.

IFC Abroad Statement:
The Occupation is Not the
Solution, It is the Problem

March 20, 2003, is the day the war was launched on the Iraqi masses, when a society of 26 million was propelled into a real hell, where bloodshed and hardships have been escalating and spiraling at an unbelievable rate ever since. This war was launched by the U.S. government to assert its hegemony on the world, and to terrorize and subdue humanity to its projects and plans. The White House itself is now admitting in various ways that the justifications presented to launch the war were groundless. They were sleazy justifications for a bloody war, which turned society to rubble on all levels and in a way unprecedented before. [more]

Support the Iraq Freedom Congress!

The situation in Iraq continues to deteriorate. Nearly every day, the media reports on the deaths of dozens and even hundreds of the people of Iraq, and the ongoing destruction of society at the hands of the U.S.-led occupation, the militias of political Islam and the so-called “resistance” forces. It has become clear that the ongoing slaughter will not end as long as it is left up to Washington, its Baghdad puppet or its disgruntled ex-employees. [more]
