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

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.

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.

Whatever struggle happened between brothers, let us forget about it and turn the page forever and live united.

Do not betray the people.

We do not kill an Iraqi.

I don't want the chair of the government because it will be controlled by the U.S. and I don't want to be controlled by the U.S.
