lpv:translated text	". We members of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the recommendation to the Council on Iraq because, while it does not say a word about the invasion and occupation, it welcomes the efforts by the Bush administration to get out of the impasse and condemns the resistance of the Iraqi people, which it qualifies as terrorism. It proposes making the Iraqi people a ward of the international community until it is old enough for democracy. Two elements in particular are typical of this opinion: paragraph 1.8 talks of the need to set up a multinational military force and a police force mandated by the United Nations, in cooperation with ΝΑΤΟ, on the basis of a ‘political timetable’, thereby repeating the ‘Bosnia-Herzegovina’ argument (six-month timetable, now ten years old); Mr Brok called for and succeeded in securing a vote against all amendments calling for the immediate withdrawal of the occupying forces, the assumption by the UN of its responsibilities, the restoration of the sovereignty of the Iraqi people and the amendments which referred to the illegality of the invasion of Iraq and the lack of proof of the existence of weapons of mass destruction. The fact that only the members of the European United Left (45) voted in favour of these amendments, while 420 voted against and 68 abstained, demonstrates just how hypocritical they all are; while they are making a great show of fighting for the rights of the Iraqi people, they bless its occupation, oppression and plundering in practice. We leave them to the judgment of our peoples."@en1
