- Hr. formand, kære kolleger, her i Europa har vi haft meget forskellige opfattelser af krigen i Irak, men den katastrofale situation i Irak, som ingen kan undgå at bemærke, har desværre bekræftet, at den frygt, som mange af os gav udtryk for, var velbegrundet.
– Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we in Europe have had very divergent opinions on the war in Iraq, but the disaster in that country, which is there for all to see, has unfortunately confirmed that the fears that many of us expressed were well founded.
