America has shown its evil intentions, and the proud Iraqi people cannot accept it. They must defend their rights by any means they see fit.

We continue to resist the occupier militarily, culturally and by all means of the resistance.

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

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.

The Americans were never interested in what was best for the Shiites.

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.

Obama has no power to change American policy because there are people who specialize in drawing these policies, which have been and still are hostile towards Islam.

The U.S.-led forces have the money, weapons and huge numbers, but these things are not going to weaken our will because God is with us.

When I die, don't let my death stop the resistance.

Open the way before the new government to prove that it is for serving the people.
