The U.S. will ignore the opinion of the Iraqi people and it will compose the new government according to its own desires.

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.

America has shown its evil intentions, and the proud Iraqi people cannot accept it. They must defend their rights by any means they see fit.

The advent of self-government for the Iraqi people is a watershed moment in their history.

We got rid of a terrible dictator. We gave the Iraqi people an opportunity for a new life under a representative form of government.
