Fox News, July 26, 2006:
'"The Israeli attacks and airstrikes are completely destroying Lebanon’s 
infrastructure," al-Maliki is quoted in the paper as saying last 
Wednesday during a news conference in Baghdad. I condemn these 
aggressions and call on the Arab League foreign ministers’ meeting in 
Cairo to take quick action to stop these aggressions. We call on the 
world to take quick stands to stop the Israeli aggression."

'House Democrats on Monday crafted a letter to Hastert urging him to 
cancel the speech by al-Maliki to the chamber. The letter, which was 
being circulated for signatures, argues that if the Iraqi leader's 
positions are at odds with U.S. foreign policy goals then he should not 
be given the honor of giving an address from the speaker's podium.'
