1. "Resistance isn't just about killing Americans without any aims or goals. Our people have come to hate al-Qaida, which gives the impression to the outside world that the resistance in Iraq are terrorists. We are against indiscriminate killing, fighting should be concentrated only on the enemy."—Abd al-Rahman al-Zubeidy, political spokesman of Ansar al-Sunna
2. "Peaceful resistance will not end the occupation. The US made clear that it intended to stay for many decades. Now it is a common view in the resistance that they will start to withdraw within a year."—Abu Ahmad, spokesman for Iraqi Hamas
