Fellow citizens, at this moment, the United States and Coalition forces are in the initial stage of military action to disarm Iraq, liberate the Iraqi people and defend the world from serious threats.

"On my orders, the coalition forces have begun to strike selected important military targets to weaken Saddam Hussein's ability to wage war. This is the beginning of an extensive and coordinated movement. "

More than 35 countries are providing vital support, from the use of naval and air bases to help with intelligence and logistics to the deployment of combat troops. Every country in this alliance chooses to take responsibility and share the honor of serving our common defense.

"For all the American men and women in the Middle East now, the peace of the turbulent world and the hope of the oppressed people now depend on you." This kind of trust is justified.

"The enemy you face will know your skills and courage. Your liberated people will witness the glorious and decent spirit of the American army.

"In this conflict, the United States is facing an enemy who ignores the customs and moral standards of war. Saddam Hussein placed Iraqi troops and equipment in civilian areas in an attempt to use innocent men, women and children as shields for his own army; The last atrocity against his people. " I hope Americans and the whole world know that the Coalition forces will do everything they can to protect innocent civilians from harm. Campaigning in the harsh terrain of a country as big as California may be longer and more difficult than some people predicted. Helping Iraq become a unified, stable and free country requires our continuous commitment.

"We came to Iraq with respect for Iraqi citizens, their great civilization and their religious beliefs. We have no ambition in Iraq, except to eliminate a threat and return the control of the country to the Iraqi people. " I know that the families of our soldiers are praying that all the soldiers in service can return safely as soon as possible.

"Millions of Americans join you in praying for the safety of your loved ones and the protection of the innocent." Because of your sacrifice, you have won the gratitude and respect of the American people. You can know that our troops will go home immediately after completing their tasks. "Our country is reluctant to get involved in this conflict, but our purpose is clear. The American people and our friends and allies will not be at the mercy of an illegal regime that threatens peace with weapons of mass destruction.

"We will deal with this threat with our army, air force, navy, coast guard and marine corps now, so that we don't have to deal with it with firefighters, police and doctors on the streets of our city in the future." Now that the conflict has happened, the only way to limit the duration of the conflict is to use decisive force. I assure you, this will not be a half-finished battle, and we will not accept any result except victory.

"My fellow citizens, the dangers facing our country and the world will be overcome. We will pass this dangerous moment and continue the cause of peace. We will defend our freedom. We will bring freedom to others. We will win.

"May God bless our country and all those who defend her."

My fellow citizens, we have begun to take military action against Iraq. We hope to disarm Iraq, liberate the Iraqi people and prevent the world from falling into danger.

I have given an order that the coalition forces have begun to attack fixed targets selectively and completely destroy Saddam's ability to threaten the world. This will be a large-scale attack, which is only the initial stage.

At least 35 countries have provided us with important help, including using their bases, sharing information and providing logistical support. All countries involved in this war will share this responsibility with us and share the honor of working together.

Those American soldiers stationed in the Middle East, where peace and people depend on you now.

You will not betray these trusts.

Your enemies will taste your bravery and Excellence, and the people liberated by you will witness the brave spirit of the American army and the American spirit.

In this battle, the enemy facing the United States ignores the rules of war and moral standards. Saddam Hussein set up Iraqi troops in civilian areas in an attempt to use innocent women, children and men as shields to protect his own troops, which was his last atrocity against his own people.

I hope all Americans and people all over the world know that the Allies will make every effort to avoid hurting innocent people, which may make our war more difficult and longer than expected. We hope to help the Iraqi people realize a unified, stable and free country, which requires our lasting commitment.

When we went to Iraq, we respected the Iraqi people and their great civilization and religious beliefs. We have no ambitions for Iraq. We just want to eliminate the threat and return the power to run the country to the Iraqi people.

I know that the families of American soldiers are praying for the soldiers to return safely as soon as possible.

Thousands of Americans are praying for the safety of their loved ones and the protection of the innocent.

Your sacrifice will win the respect of the American people. Once the task is completed, you will go home as soon as possible. The United States does not want this conflict to happen, but our goal is clear. The American people and our allies will not be soft on an illegal regime that is threatening world peace with weapons of mass destruction.

Our army, navy and air force are all facing these threats now, in order to avoid such threats for firefighters, policemen and doctors on the streets of our own cities in the future.

Now that the war has begun, the only way to make a quick decision is to crack down resolutely. I assure you, this will not be a war that gives up halfway, and we will not stop until we win.

The dangers facing our country and the world will be lifted, we will go through the dangerous period and continue the cause of peace, and we will defend our freedom and bring it to others. We are sure to succeed.

God bless our country and our soldiers.
