I didn't say I am a FORMER president,

If you are Iraqi, you know who I am... and you know that I do not tire. I am the president of Iraq and I refuse to answer these questions because this court is illegitimate.

The witnesses who testified were brought here after being bribed and briefed of what was to be said.

Exile means surrender. This nation, the Iraqi nation, is not going to surrender to the blackmail and to the threats of the Americans.

These documents are forged. I have never done anything to a youngster. All these documents are forged and can be purchased on the streets of Baghdad. I can purchase a card like that saying the judge Rauf (Abdel Rahman) is 25 years old.

Why did they take my pen and the papers that I need during the trial.
