"One of the clearest aspects of Iraq's diminished sovereignty is America's economic domination, its occupation, its literal control over its funds, and its complete control over its resources.

Will the free people of dear Iraq accept that its wealth be treated as a gift, not an inherent sovereign right of its people?

Is it too much to ask for liberation from American financial and economic hegemony, diversification of export markets and banking networks, and the building of an economy that owns its decisions, its wealth, and its trade routes?

Sovereignty is not complete by controlling the land alone, but by possessing political, economic, and financial decision-making power, free from the domination of any external force."
