The new Iraq is a message of peace, cooperation and partnership with all the forces of goodness and peace in the world. That dark period that wreaked havoc on Iraq and the region has ended.
Today we celebrate the graduation of the 111th session at the First Military College, Factory of Heroes, to coincide with the anniversary of the founding of the army. We celebrate while Iraq is well with you, and the responsibility is still great in construction and reconstruction.
