Do not betray the people.

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 fear only God, all praises to Him.

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

All Iraqis should live under one roof and for one goal.

The little serpent has left, and the great serpent has come.

I renew my call for the occupier (the United States) to leave our land. The departure of the occupier will mean stability for Iraq, victory for Islam and peace and defeat for terrorism and infidels.
