Our rejection of the occupier at heart is resistance.

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

We have not forgotten the occupier. We remain a resistance.

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

The main reason for the armed resistance is the American military presence.

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.
