WHAT HAPPENED

On 2 October, KSS secretary-general Abu Alaa al-Walai credited Iraqi resistance operations with American losses, citing an alleged American presidential acknowledgment and descriptions of Iraq as a quagmire and hell. His statement also described Kurdistan’s security as inseparable from Iraq’s and said American withdrawal should demonstrate Iraqis’ ability to protect their country; Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) carried both elements of that reassurance in its graphic. Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated/aligned media) and iNEWS (KSS — affiliated/aligned media) published his operational-credit passage as an attributed statement.

    “It confirms beyond doubt the effectiveness of Iraqi resistance operations, their strength, precision and resolve, contrary to what some voices were trying to portray by belittling them and diminishing their significance.”

    يؤكد بما لا يقبل الشك فاعلية عمليات المقاومة العراقية وقوتها ودقتها وبأسها، بعكس ما كانت تحاول أن تصوره بعض الاصوات، عبر الاستخفاف بها والتقليل من شأنها.

    “American withdrawal should therefore not be a cause for their concern, but an occasion to affirm Iraqis’ ability to protect their homeland and land and safeguard their unity and sovereignty.”

    فلا ينبغي أن يكون الانسحاب الامريكي مدعاة لقلقهم، بل مناسبة لتأكيد قدرة العراقيين على حماية وطنهم وأرضهم وصون وحدتهم وسيادتهم.

  3. Al-Ahad TVAAH — official owned media03 Oct, 01:37

    “We affirm to our brothers in Iraq’s Kurdistan Region that their security and stability are inseparable from Iraq’s security and stability. American withdrawal should not be a cause for their concern, but an occasion to affirm Iraqis’ ability to protect their homeland and land.”

    نؤكد لأخوتنا في إقليم كردستان العراق أن أمنهم واستقرارهم جزء لا يتجزأ من أمن العراق واستقراره لا ينبغي أن يكون الانسحاب الأمريكي مدعاة لقلقهم بل مناسبة لتأكيد قدرة العراقيين على حماية وطنهم وأرضهم

WHY IT MATTERS

The distinction is between cross-faction carriage of a KSS leader’s reassurance and adoption of his account of combat effectiveness; these are different speech acts.
