The U.S. military is enlisting hundreds of fighters each day from tribal and insurgent groups in alliances aimed at countering al-Qaeda in Iraq, the top U.S. general in Baghdad said yesterday, calling it a "very positive development" but one that requires caution to ensure it works to promote security. Maj Gen. Joseph F. Fil Jr., commander of Multinational Division Baghdad, said U.S. and Iraqi troops control nearly half of the capital's neighborhoods, but that hard fighting remains as operations continue to clear out insurgents from the rest of the city. Overall attack levels in Baghdad remain constant, he said, but...

Al-Qaeda eyes White House bombing New tape released by terror group says mobilized 12,000 fighters in Iraq, crows over Rumsfeld's departure Associated Press Al-Qaeda in Iraq claimed in a new audio tape Friday to be winning the war faster than expected in Iraq, saying it had mobilized 12,000 fighters.

WASHINGTON, May 26, 2006 – More and more Iraqi national police are working alongside U.S. soldiers in securing southern Baghdad, a U.S. Army colonel working there said today. Terrorists would like the American public to believe violent groups are winning the fight in Baghdad, Army Col. Michael Beech, commander of 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, said from Forward Operating Base Prosperity in central Baghdad. "But, of course, that's not what's happening here," he said. Beech's brigade includes 4,400 U.S. troops, a battalion of soldiers from the former Soviet republic of Georgia, and about 2,000 Iraq soldiers and police....

No mobile phones, no landlines, no Internet – that is the message anti-U.S. rebels have recently received from their commanders. The message is believed to have even spread in neighboring states as part of the package of instructions foreign fighters receive before heading to Iraq. “You are not to use electronic communication or even land lines when communicating,” said a leaflet which the groups distributed recently. The instructions are apparently a response to what are described as ‘moderate successes’ U.S. troops have achieved in the past few weeks in their fight to flush out rebel cells. Internet material, mobile messages...

UNFIT TO PRINT? An inspiring letter from the mayor of Tal' Afar, thanking the 3rd Cavalry Regiment for liberating his city from al Qaeda: Aside from The Post's coverage of the letter, it appears nowhere. What a pity. Every newspaper in the country should have run Mayor Najim Abdullah Abid Al-Jibouri's tribute to U.S. troops. It's legitimate news — offering detailed updates on Iraq's reconstruction from the perspective of Iraqis. And it's positive news. The mayor wrote: "Our city was the main base of operations for Abu Mousab Al Zarqawi. Our streets were silent, and no one dared to walk...

Baghad — Iraq's largest Sunni Muslim party called Saturday for the release of Western hostages in Iraq, saying such kidnappings tarnish the image of Islam and will have negative effect on those who call for ending the U.S. military presence. The Iraqi Islamic party cited the four members of the Chicago-based Christian Peacemaker Teams — two Canadians, a Briton and an American — who were taken hostage in Baghdad on Nov. 26. The kidnappers have threatened to kill them on Thursday if Iraqi prisoners are not released from American and Iraqi jails.

For Immediate ReleaseOffice of the Press SecretaryApril 26, 2003 Radio Address by the President to Nation      Audio THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. As America continues to fight and win the war on terror, our government is also focused on another national priority, growing our economy and creating jobs. America's economy has been through a lot. We experienced the shock of a terrorist attack; we have endured a recession; we had to deal with some major corporate scandals; we faced the uncertainty of war; and we have seen a slowdown in the global economy, which weakens demand for American goods and services....

Date published: Sun, 06/09/2002 PRESIDENT BUSH'S finest rhetorical hour--his post-9/11 speech when he told the world that "either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists"--were the boldest words uttered by an American president since FDR. They were described, not inaccurately, as Churchillian.As Winston Churchill did with the Nazis, Bush framed our fight against terrorism in clear moral terms. We are on the side of freedom and peace. They are on the side of tyranny and evil. The fight, now that it has been brought to us by the slaughter of 3,000 innocent Americans, is nothing less than...
