The regional plots that pushed some Kurdish parties against other Kurdish parties are about to come to an end.

We think that PKK committed a big mistake when they resumed the war against Turkish government.... We think that the time is for all people to choose political and peaceful methods of struggle. We don't think that what they are doing is in the interests of the Kurdish people either in Turkey or in Iraq.

The terrible crime against the pilgrims is yet another proof of the brutality of those terrorists who are launching a genocidal war against the Iraqi people.

I am not against it, it is a question of humanitarian rights,

Saddam Hussein is a war criminal and he deserves to be executed 20 times a day for his crimes against humanity.

This is going to unify the nation and the people to work against terrorism,

It is this regime that started a war of genocide against the Kurdish people, then started an unjust war against our dear neighbour Iran which has often helped the Iraqi people at times of hardship.

I want to congratulate our people who struggled against dictatorship for democracy and freedom, ... This constitution is a first of its kind, written by representatives of important Iraqi factions.

The Kurdish people want American presence, not only as deterrent against possible Iraqi attacks but also because there are terrorist organizations such as the Ansar Al-Islam and others, which constitute a danger to the Kurdish people.
