AHMED CHALABINow, we need a joint military leadership so that the Kurds and the army can retake Mosul.
AHMED CHALABIAnd we are grateful to the American young men and women who are risking their lives to give the Iraqi people this chance, this dream of democracy in Iraq now.
AHMED CHALABIBaathism in Iraq equals Nazism in Germany.
AHMED CHALABIThe Iraqi people are living a long-running tragedy because of the legacy of the old regime, the Americans and their actions that are unsuitable for Iraqi society, and the weakness of national resolve.
AHMED CHALABIDemocracy in Iraq will be an example that the Arab population will look to with great interest. And some Arab governments are concerned about democracy in Iraq.

AHMED CHALABII strongly believe that a federal structure based on administrative and geographic lines with strong powers for the federated states will be the best solution for Iraq.
AHMED CHALABIWhat was said before is not important.
