lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I am not a particular friend of the Bush government, but I would take this opportunity to congratulate and thank the Americans and the coalition for the military action in Iraq. It was swift and effective and succeeded in its purpose of removing of an evil regime. The terrible consequences for the whole of the Middle East foreseen by some in this plenary did not arise. Having thanked the Americans, it is time to tell them that we do not expect them to stay in Iraq for one hour longer than is necessary. I am confident that they share this view, and it is my hope that the United Nations will play the dominant role in post-war Iraq. The European Union too has a role to play in Iraq in the months to come – the role of supporting democratic development in order to stabilise the whole region. We can draw on the experiences of the Union's efforts in Afghanistan and I look forward to seeing a united Europe behind this new, big challenge in Iraq, starting with the lifting of sanctions."@en1
