Speaking at the people

Iraq's new prime minister made his first address to the nation Friday, saying security was his top priority, calling for an end to guerrilla attacks and telling Iraqis that the withdrawal of U.S.-led troops now would be a ``major disaster.''

The televised speech by Iyad Allawi -- a longtime exile with close ties to the CIA and State Department but with little popular support in Iraq -- was the first by an Iraqi head of government since Saddam Hussein fell a year ago...

...The speech was aired on Al-Iraqiyah, the nationwide TV station set up and funded by the United States.

Wonder who wrote his speech?
