(The big shot in the political game is that individual whose nationality is not limited to a certain part of his country. The big shot is the one who does not have his goals stemming out from the suffering of his family and people. Otherwise, such a person is delusional in believing that he’s a big shot).

Out of our understanding of the political game practiced by whoever like to call themselves “big shots” as they imagine, which (the game) sheds sectarianism on problems and disputes arising in the Iraqi scene and pushes Iraq into such conflicts and disputes, we reply to them as follows: In light of this understanding, it is a must to increase cooperation and respect of identity. It is also a must to hold on real hard to our fixed values which can rescue our country from this dark tunnel. Throughout the national determination that is distant from blocs, fronts, territorialism, and subordination we would gain the capacity to achieve our peoples’ aspirations since people are our main base in launching our work to close all exits and provide necessary conditions to stand up to greedy and spiteful powers. Those powers tried and are still trying to deliberately and greatly offend us through practicing all arts of destruction which started to form scary signs not only in Iraq but in all of the region. In spite of the daily tragedy led by this evil terrorism, the Iraqi people who suffered a lot and consciously reinforced itself to challenge and overcome all obstacles standing in its way to words reconstruction and advancement. We certainly know that there are some people who deliberately create and promote such obstacles by circulating false news about our people, opening competition fronts through holding comparisons from time to time, and exaggerating in warning against a coming danger in addition to creating the delusion that there is no way that Iraq can keep the area safe and stable unless it depends on third parties and on their economic and political interventions.

In other words, they are trying to stick their noses into every little detail. They are ready to point their weapons to all directions based on their strategies which were drawn upon ancient and modern political schools that they believe in and work for. But the shocking surprise for them was when they discovered the reality that the Iraqi people are aware and are able to understand the mystery and identify the burdens of the game.
