"Mr President, on this, the eighth day of the action in Iraq, I would like to convey my sadness at the suffering of the civilians affected by this conflict. At the same time, however, I believe it is necessary to point out that Saddam Hussein’s regime has led directly to this end result because of the massacres he has carried out, in particular using weapons of mass destruction, and his endless time-wasting tactics in response to requests to disarm and change his behaviour. Even today, he is making things worse for himself with his strategy of drawing the fighting into towns in order to take the people hostage and use them as a human shield. As I have already said, the way in which UN debates have been conducted over the past few months is cause for regret. Today, however, we must express our solidarity towards our allies, whose troops are fighting on the ground and – I would say this in particular here – towards our British fellow Members. Like the Brussels Council of 20 March last, we hope that this combat will result in a free, sovereign Iraq, whose regime does not pose a threat to its neighbours or to its own people."@en1
