They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you. Bush - Joint News Conference with Blair - 28 July '06

Iraqi groups demand US exit for participation

Aljazeera.Net: A statement issued at the end of the meeting at Baghdad's Umm al-Qura mosque, the headquarters of Iraq's leading Sunni body, called for "an internationally guaranteed timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops".

The meeting involved a representative of the Association for Muslim Scholars, an Arab nationalist, a former member of ousted president Saddam Hussein's Baath party and a representative of radical Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

The group stressed their "rejection of terrorist acts against innocent Iraqis, infrastructure and places of worship". Link
