I am a part of the political process whether the multinational forces are present or not. Politics is serving the people, not chairs and positions.

political process which had been led by occupiers and their collaborators.

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

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.

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