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

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

I am confident that you brothers in parliament will champion the will of the people over that of the occupier.

We will not stop resisting the occupation until liberation or martyrdom.

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.

I would like to address the peoples of the world, especially the Arab peoples and the US people. Their silence over the violations against the oppressed Iraqi people who suffered greatly cannot be accepted by any fair-minded and zealous person. Therefore, all must take these violations seriously and express themselves even through peaceful demonstrations, sit-ins and protests. I urge those people to distance themselves from their rulers who support the West and the occupation forces.

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.
