"O Americans...you are mostly a nation of unmannered cowboys who elect boorish liars and are ruled by whoever has the most wealth and influence, especially the Jews who steer you under the ruse of democracy to support Israel and its plans against our religion and at the cost of our land and blood and also at the cost of your blood and economy, as has been proven...
"Bush drove your children to kill and be killed, claiming it was in defence of America and global peace. He hid the truth which is that he is implementing the aims of the Zionist lobby, which helped him into the White House, by destroying the military might of Iraq, which neighbours the Jews in occupied Palestine, without considering the impact on your lives and economy. He is hiding his and the lobby's greed in Iraq's oil...

"Muslims in general and Iraqis in particular: Do not support the crusader U.S. forces and their allies and everyone who cooperates with them is an infidel...Any government set up by Americans is an agent and traitor like all regional governments ...Jihad must continue until there is an Islamic government.
"I tell my fellow mujahideen (holy fighters) in Iraq: I share your concerns and emotions and envy your jihad. God knows, if I were to find a way to go to your battlefield, I would...
