I am a part of the political process whether the multinational forces are present or not. Politics is serving the people, not chairs and positions.

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

For us, holding on to religious rules, and following them, and refraining from what's forbidden, and being diligent with our duties, what do we call that? That's what we call freedom.

Do not betray the people.

I have a red line against the Americans.

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

The resistance will be exclusively conducted by only one group. This new group will be defined soon by me.
