The main problem in the country is the Ministry of the Interior forces who are torturing and attacking people in Sunni regions.

Iraqis will vote 'yes' to the new constitution because they know if necessary they can amend some of its articles in the future, ... Terrorists will meet their final defeat in their final battle against the people of Iraq.

In the end, the differences are so big and so wide we could not reach an agreement.

I'm embarrassed and upset by Saadoun al Duleimi. He's born of that area and comes from that area, and yet still they're attacking it. There should be a political solution. He's embarrassing us.

The Islamic Party has gone to these talks. Anyone who goes is not representing the Sunnis.

They will not do it unless they are mad. But in Iraq, you can expect everything.

They wanted to go in a more secular way, and I didn't. So there will be a split.

They are innocent and have been working in the service of the Iraqi people.

It's against the rule of Islam, against the rule of religion, against the rule of any humanitarian attitude to spoil the festive day for the Iraqis in such a bloody action. This will make the situation worse. I call on the American people to urge their government to find a civilized attitude. I don't think this fits with the reputation that the Americans have.

They postponed the date because they want to agree upon everything, so the whole constitution is delayed. Practically, it is probably not enough time, but we hope everybody works hard to achieve it.
