Excerpts Letter to the Al-Qaida Leadership About the Insurgency in Iraq

[rodbarnett]

Excerpts from a letter, purportedly from anti-U.S. operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, to al-Qaida about the state of the insurgency in Iraq. The text of the letter was released by the U.S. military and translated from Arabic by The Associated Press:

<snip>

"The American army began to retreat from some cities and its presence became scarce (in others). It's being replaced by the Iraqi army and this is the real problem we are facing. Fighting the Americans is easy because the enemy is obvious, its back is unprotected and it is ignorant of the terrain and the reality of the mujahedeen because of the weakness of their intelligence.

..."Regrettably, jihad here is planting mines and firing rockets and mortars from afar. The Iraqi brothers are still keen on safety ... some groups perhaps brag among themselves that none of them had been killed or captured and we told them many times that safety and victory don't go together."

..."This country has no mountains in which we can take refuge or woods in which we can hide. Our backs are unprotected and our movements are exposed and eyes are everywhere and the enemy is in front of us and the sea behind us."

<snip>

..."We, thanks be to God, were the key to all martyrdom operations, including those in the north, planning and preparing for them. We have completed, with the help of God, 25 of them. Some of them targeted the rejectionists (Shiites) and their symbols, some the Americans and their soldiers, police and coalition forces. Those to come will be more, God willing."
