I did my best to defend the interests of my country. Right now, I see my country has been colonized, has been controlled by a foreign power -- that means the United States and Britain. That means not only me, but all Iraqi people are not happy with that.

Your message is stupid. Iraq is not afraid of you or anyone else when it has a right to claim. What you warned about is not on Iraq's agenda. Iraq is vital and powerful. It is not an opportunistic country. Your administration has not learned from the past.

These missiles in any case cannot exceed more than 150 kilometers, so we are within the resolution of the Security Council.

The move is very unfortunate. Hopefully, (the U.N.) will behave wisely and consider the political consequences of what they are doing.

The game is over. I hope the peace will prevail and the Iraqi people at the end of the day will have a peaceful life.

The American invasion did not succeed in Vietnam, and will never succeed in Iraq.
