We must provide all kinds of freedom, personal and economic, to all Iraqis. I will fight for that.

The Kurdish people welcome the no-fly zone protection, contrary to the Iraqi regime that is against it.

We need to make a distinction between misled Iraqis, those who believe that they are carrying weapons to liberate Iraq from what they call occupation, and criminal gangs that came from outside and wants to wage a deadly war on the Iraqi people, killing women and children in mosques and churches.

There is a kind of sympathy with the Americans who are looked upon as liberators.

I shall stand for freedom of thought and expression in a place where it has been trampled and penalized.

We must acknowledge that for scores of years the Iraqis have offered martyrs and victims but have not been able to change the regime.

Trust is for lovers. In politics there are only converging interests.
