We want that American forces will be special guidance, not to engage in daily work or operations ... We want Americans to be far from the daily sacrificing. It's our duty to sacrifice for our people and for our country.
We hope that by the end of 2006, our security forces are up to the level of taking responsibility from many American troops, with complete agreement with Americans,

We are not single people coming to power as individuals. We are representing huge forces of this country.

Those who think terrorism in Iraq is the result of the presence of multinational forces are wrong,
