After the release of the new issue of the Iraqi Gazette

Entered by mistake

Hassan Al-Nahwi

After the release of the new issue of the Iraqi Gazette, which included a disavowal of honorable figures, a timid new statement appeared claiming that what was published had (entered by mistake)!

For those unfamiliar with the Iraqi Gazette: it is the official newspaper that publishes laws only after they have been ratified by all authorities—executive, legislative, presidential, and judicial—passing through many layers of scrutiny. That is why some laws approved by parliament are delayed in implementation, awaiting their publication in this respected Gazette that does not accept “mistakes”! What kind of mistake? This is a law that may involve blood, money, or any other right.

Entered by mistake

Your excuse is uglier than your sin.

You wished it would pass quietly amid the distraction over who will take office after the elections, but God exposed you—the One to whom the party and its supporters belong with honor. They are His party and His supporters, and He will not abandon them. “If you support God, He will support you” (Muhammad, verse 7).

Truly, as was said: Leadership is the proving ground of men. And it has shown us that in your dictionary, it is honor itself that “entered by mistake.”
