"It is quite clear that there is no international legality for the invasion and current occupation of Iraq. It has now been revealed that the British Government, Blair and company, told lies to justify backing the American and British invasion and occupation. There are two things I would like to ask the Council.
Firstly, in relation to the resolution. It is quite clear that the resolution just gives succour to the US and the UK for the illegal action that they took. The country is in crisis: there are a huge number people that are food dependent; law and order has broken down; people in Iraq are saying that now that they come out on the streets people are dead; the whole structure has broken down. That is the first thing I would like to know from the Council, in relation to the current situation in Iraq, which definitely cannot be left in the hands of the British and the Americans.
Secondly, what is the Council going to do in relation to a number of EU citizens who are imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay, as it is clear that the British are too scared to stand up to the Americans and defend their own citizens?
They are citizens of the EU as well and it is up to the EU to do something about this and also about the illegal occupation of Iraq. It is absolutely unacceptable that the US and Britain are allowed to gain advantage from illegal activities."@en1
