I beg you not to resort to demonstrations, for they have become nothing but burned paper.

Saddam is a war criminal and there are no two people who can argue over this.

Our main goal as Iraqi people is to drive the occupation out in any way.

The US-led forces have the money, weapons and huge numbers, but these things are not going to weaken our will because God is with us.

Out of my desire to complete Iraq's independence and to finish the withdrawal of the occupation forces from our holy lands, I am obliged to halt military operations of the honest Iraqi resistance until the withdrawal of the occupation forces is complete.

I repeat my demand that the occupier leave the land of our beloved Iraq unconditionally, without retaining bases or signing agreements.

I will deal with the politicians in a political way and with the nonpoliticians in a nonpolitical way.
