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.

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 U.S. will ignore the opinion of the Iraqi people and it will compose the new government according to its own desires.

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.

Is there an equality of power between America and Iraq? Definitely not; however, the Iraqi people are standing fast and are defending their land courageously.

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