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.

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

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

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

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.

We don't kill Iraqis - our hands do not kill Iraqis. But we target only the occupier with all the means of resistance.

I wish to be a martyr, and I don't fear death.
