Well, first, the situation in Afghanistan is much better than it was. But there is no comparison between Afghanistan and Iraq. Iraq has a bureaucracy, Iraq has wealth. Iraq has an educated class of people who are positioned to come in and take over. ↗

I said in October of 2008 that there was no proof that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or had the intention or capability of attacking the United States. Here we are. Almost 4,700 troops died, tens of thousands injured, over a million Iraqis dead. It will cost $5 trillion in the end for the war. ↗

The fact is that America's weapons systems have made it impossible for anybody to confront it militarily. So, all you have is your wits and your cunning, and your ability to fight in the way the Iraqis are fighting. ↗

I have said it many times: the policy of exclusion and the policy of marginalization must end in Iraq. ↗

We don't kill Iraqis - our hands do not kill Iraqis. But we target only the occupier with all the means of resistance. ↗

Of course, I'm drawn to a place like Iraq because It's the biggest story of our generation. ↗

I repeat my demand that the occupier leave the land of our beloved Iraq unconditionally, without retaining bases or signing agreements. ↗
