I won't answer to this so-called court...Who are you? What are you? The occupation is illegitimate, ... I retain my constitutional rights as the president of Iraq.

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.

You know me, because you are an Iraqi, ... I don't recognize the parties that appointed you to this court.

If I had wanted I wouldn't have referred them [the accused villagers] to the revolutionary court. I did refer them to the revolutionary court. And they were tried according to the law.

The accused should not be compelled to come to the court if his lawyer was absent.

We all want the withdrawal, ... We all believe it is an illegitimate occupation, and it is a legitimate resistance.
