    I call on the Iraqi Government to eliminate terrorism with the help of all the honorable people and making a plan there. The security would spread and the access would be through the hands of the Iraqis. In this study, I tried to cover everything related to the terrorist operations from different points to be a means for the people's understanding of themselves and their colleagues, and a means for the directors to understand the nature of their employees to improve the exploitation of their abilities and avoid their flaws better to the best possible way from the soldiers. However, few of them satisfy that purpose. Yes, my dear brother, we can say that about the Iraqis. If we say that the crisis of the Iraqis is one of the crises of war and peace, then in most cases, the motivation for that is the existing nerve and the lack of awareness in Asperger’s syndrome that confirms the idea that there are natural factors which the person is born with that contribute to his level and abilities that vary from one person to another person by doing more effort carried out against terrorism. It is specializing in war in particular and the Iraqis have designed your past, present and future needs with Allah’s will. The terrorist operations have been relied on, which led to the dismantling of the community then, through a rigorous analysis in your specialty and by doing several successive operations well so that these wears would cleanse the source of terrorism and control he who intimidates the individuals, and eliminate them completely.

    There are probably no words to express my joy at the victory of the Iraqi forces over terrorism. I can’t even describe how exhilarated I am because of this great victory that they had, and that Allah has empowered them and assisted them in ridding the Iraqi people of oppression and suffering that they endured for a long time at the hands of the terrorists. The whole world knows the extent of the pains that the Iraqi people suffered for years until Allah willed to extricate them from the devastation that had befallen their country, and indeed the pains and sufferings that the Iraqi people have endured at the hands of terrorism. I would like to congratulate the Iraqi people on the restoration of stability in their country, and the restoration of peace and security to the Iraqi people, praying to Allah that he will make this joy last forever, and that he will spare them in the future from these days that they endured at the hands of the terrorists, which caused the sufferings of the people. Also, I congratulate the Iraqi forces on achieving this great victory in front of the whole world, and especially the western world, as this is a statement by them to the effect that if any terrorist movement wants to occupy any country or instill fear or anxiety in the hearts of the people of any occupied country, Allah will defeat them, regardless of how long it takes or how long the era of tyranny persists.
