It’s our duty to sacrifice for our people and for our country,

The first thing we are thinking of doing after forming a national unity government is to build stability and security and to terminate terrorism.

Currently the international and regional situation does not permit for the foundation of an independent Kurdish state in north of Iraq.

God willing, the draft will be ready by tomorrow as many of the contentious issues have already been resolved,

We must not shy away from this support to eliminate the dictatorship and bring about a democratic, federal, pluralistic rule in Iraq.

I hope this is the beginning of a new kind of cooperation among all Iraqis,

Time and again the U.S. has given the world its most precious resource in the cause of freedom, the lives of its most talented and courageous young men and women.
