BAGHDAD, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- The influential Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq praised the defeat of the Republican Party and the end of the current U.S. administration.
The AMSI, a Sunni group formed in the days following the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, praised the results of the U.S. presidential election Nov. 4 and called on President-elect Barack Obama to hold to his promise of withdrawing U.S. military forces from Iraq.
The clerical group also praised its supporters for generating enough influence to put a new Democratic administration in the White House and on Capitol Hill.
"The Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq congratulated the heroic Iraqi Resistance for defeating (U.S. President George) Bush and his party," the statement said.
The AMSI statement said the election results in America were "the result of heroic sons of the Iraqi Resistance" who fought their "legendary jihad" against Washington and brought fear to the minds in the Bush administration.
The statement also praised the Iraqi people for their resolve and determination, reminding them that victory comes only with patience.
