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

I fear only God, all praises to Him.

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

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.

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.

I do not fear truth. I welcome it. But I wish all of my facts to be in their proper context.
