The U.S. will ignore the opinion of the Iraqi people and it will compose the new government according to its own desires.

I have said it many times: the policy of exclusion and the policy of marginalization must end in Iraq.

If it does not serve the Iraqi people, there are only political means that must be followed to reform the government - a new government that we must give a chance to prove that it is there to serve the people.

I will continue to defend Najaf as it is the holiest place. I will remain in the city until the last drop of my blood has been spilled.

We have not forgotten the occupier. We remain a resistance.

America has shown its evil intentions, and the proud Iraqi people cannot accept it. They must defend their rights by any means they see fit.

We do not kill an Iraqi.
