BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri said Monday that U.S. and British forces are being "defeated on all fronts and are retreating in the face of strong strikes" carried out by a popular resistance.
...
Sabri accused the coalition of wanting to exploit Iraqi natural resources and being a pawn of "the Zionists," referring to Israel and its supporters, which he repeatedly accused of inciting the war.

"If they continue to be stubborn with their aggression, we will attack them with all they have," Sabri said. "No one will be safe except for those who surrender to us on the battlefield."
...
He said, "Americans are talking a lot of lies and fabrications because lies are the golden rule of the American administration.

"They have been lying to their people, they have been lying to world public opinion and now they are falling victim to their lies."

He added, "They only have one chance, which is to withdraw quickly. That will save them more losses."

Sabri said Iraq is following the rules of the Geneva Conventions.

"I can assure you that the prisoners [of war] are being treated very well, according to the Geneva Conventions and our Islamic values."
