PM Maliki Of Iraq Addresses Joint Session Of Congress
Breitbart Is Reporting:
WASHINGTON - Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki sidestepped controversy over Israel and Lebanon and got a ringing endorsement over his hopes to build a peaceful Iraq when he addressed the U.S. Congress on Wednesday.
"Trust that Iraq will be the grave of terrorism and terrorists, for the good of all humanity," said Maliki, who drew a number of ovations even after Democrats had condemned his earlier statements blaming Israel as the aggressor in the Lebanon conflict.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid and many Democrats were irate that Maliki last week denounced Israel as the aggressor in the Lebanon conflict. They demanded he apologize or clarify his remarks, and some threatened to boycott the address.
But before the speech Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari told lawmakers Iraq had joined some other Arab League nations in criticizing Hizbollah's attacks on Israel, Reid, a senator from Nevada, told reporters.
Most Democrats were in their seats for the speech that was interrupted by applause more than 20 times.
A heckler briefly halted proceedings, shouting "Iraqis want the troops to leave. Bring them home now." Capitol police removed the woman who was wearing a pink T-shirt with the words "troops home now."
Maliki said Iraq was key to defeating terrorism worldwide. Recalling a failed uprising against President Saddam Hussein in 1991, he urged the United States not to abandon his country.
"Let us not allow what happened in 1991 to repeat itself, because if it does history will not be merciful to any one of us," Maliki said. After the Gulf War then-President George H.W. Bush was viewed as supportive of insurgents against Saddam but did not give them military assistance and they were crushed.
