"The report is intended to ensure that the EU has a better share in the imperialist booty from the war against Iraq and interventions in the wider region of the Middle East. In this context:
it seeks ways and means of establishing an EU presence in the country on a long-term basis in order to ‘help European firms to bid for contracts to rebuild Iraq’, i.e. to increase the share of the spoils received by EU monopolies.
it calls for unconditional aid to the collaborationist ‘government’ of Iraq.
it puts forward strategies for active participation in the imperialist occupation. In order for military and police forces to form part of the occupying armies, all that is needed is for different hats to be worn and for the name to be changed to ‘UN forces’.
Therefore, while cynically recognising the catastrophic consequences of the war and the slaughter of the Iraqi people, the report hastily states that events have been wrapped up.
The report legitimises not only the occupying armies, which it terms a ‘Multi-National Force’, but even the private firms of murderers active in Iraq, provided that rules are set for their criminal activities!
The Communist Party of Greece condemns the report. It expresses its solidarity with the resistance of Iraqis and the struggle of the peoples of the region for liberation from the imperialist yoke of occupation and for their inalienable right to decide their own destinies."@en1
