The resolution adopted achieves the ‘astonishing’ feat of not making a single reference to the brutal and illegal aggression and occupation of Iraq by the USA and its allies.
The resolution glosses over the whole death toll of many hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, the destruction of an entire country and the premeditated and massive disrespect for human rights resulting from the aggression and occupation.
The resolution is completely silent on the first and foremost reason for the extremely serious problems the Iraqi people and their country are now facing, and thus on how to resolve it: the immediate withdrawal of all occupying troops.
In essence, the resolution endorses the status quo, presenting it as a
and seeking to promote greater EU participation in the intervention in Iraq, seeing this country as another ‘state supervised’ by the USA/NATO/EU, like Afghanistan and Kosovo.
