Why Is Iraq as Difficult as It Is? - Interview with U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz
(Prospect Magazine-UK)Radek Sikorski - Saddam Hussein didn't stop fighting us, at least until he was captured in December last year. Al-Zarqawi didn't surrender when Baghdad fell. He stepped up his efforts. There are all these organizations that are barely known that people ought to know about. There was the M-14 division of the Iraqi intelligence service, its so-called "anti-terrorism" division, which specialized in hijackings and bombings, kidnappings and assassinations. There was the M-16 division, which perfected new bombing techniques. Many of these guys are out in Falluja and Ramadi in western Iraq today making bombs. The people who murdered and tortured for 35 years are not quitting and still think they can win.
