An Iraqi special operations proverb

 An Iraqi special operations force conducted a raid in one of the neighborhoods in northeast Baghdad to disrupt a terrorist cell that had been responsible for not only conducting attacks on Iraqi security forces and coalition forces but also in kidnapping Iraqi civilians in the local area.

 Sir, our Iraqi partners have been conducting battalion and Brigade-size operations since April. They have been planning and coordinating with other Iraqi security forces, such as the Iraqi police and local government agencies, preparing for this referendum. Sir, we as coalition forces, we have taken a supporting role only as they prepare to execute this referendum.

 Increased coalition presence feeds the notion of occupation. It contributes to the dependency of Iraqi security forces on the coalition, ... It extends the amount of time that it will take for Iraqi security forces to become self-reliant. And it exposes more coalition forces to attacks.

 That particular Iraqi special operations force came under fire as they were conducting this operation, and in the process the Iraqi special operations forces killed 16 insurgents. They also, in securing the objective there, detained a number of other individuals, approximately 15, is what I've heard.

 What we are seeing him do now is shift his target from the coalition forces to Iraqi civilians and Iraqi security forces. The enemy is trying to stop the formation of this national unity government; he's trying to inflame sectarian violence.

 [The typical insurgent] doesn't have the capability or the courage to take on coalition forces or Iraqi security forces in direct combat, ... So in the wee hours of darkness, his people move out and emplace these bombs. They go off the next day and kill coalition force members, Iraqi security force members or innocent Iraqis.

 Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura.

 Right now, actively involved in operations in Tal Afar is the Third Iraqi Army Division, ... We now have sufficient assets available, between the coalition forces and Iraqi security forces, to leave behind a robust security presence so that the insurgents cannot return and that is indeed part of the plan.

 [Some parts of the administration have been slower to reach this point than others. In the midst of the May attacks, Vice President Dick Cheney famously said that the insurgency was in its] last throes. ... Insurgencies tend to go on five, six, eight, 10, 12 years. Coalition forces, foreign forces are not going to repress that insurgency. We're going to create an environment that the Iraqi people and the Iraqi security forces can win against that insurgency.
  Donald Rumsfeld

 were hoping that after the referendum, with Iraqi security forces trained and democracy established, coalition forces could begin an orderly withdrawal. This now looks optimistic. British forces may now have to go sooner rather than later, leaving behind a situation for the Iraqi government that is very far from ideal.
  Tony Blair

 Our hope is that as we build up Iraqi forces we will be able to relieve the stress on our forces and see a reduction in coalition forces over some period of time, probably post-Iraqi election.
  Donald Rumsfeld

 [Abu Azzam] was responsible for the planning and execution of countless attacks against Iraqi civilians and security forces as well as multi-national troops, using car bombs and direct violent attacks, ... He is literally responsible for the death of hundreds of Iraqis.

 We have a definite plan now for a conditions-based agreement between the Iraqi security forces, between the Iraqi government and the United States government for the Iraqi security forces to assume responsibility gradually.

 They've shifted their sight group — their target — to the Iraqi civilians and the Iraqi security force and away from the coalition.

 The despicable behavior of the Iraqi regime has in no way stopped the progress of the coalition. Control of the country continues to slip away from the Iraqi regime, and coalition forces are closing in on Baghdad.

 I hope to pass the security of Iraq over to the Iraqi forces and redeploy our forces, having left behind a secure and stable Iraqi parliament. Hopefully we'll be able to drastically reduce our forces there.
