When the Americans advance, we harass and retreat, fire from new positions and then retreat again. If the attacking force is too big, we call for support.

I have a red line against the Americans.

So, if I were arrested or if I were killed, then after me the issues that American fears about me wouldn't exist anymore - and I couldn't tell you what those issues are.

Open the way before the new government to prove that it is for serving the people.

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.

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