DUBAI, Oct 26, 2006 (AFP) - The official spokesman of the self-proclaimed
independent Islamic emirate in Iraq said in an Internet statement Thursday
the "signs of victory" are on the horizon, as the US suffered its heaviest
monthly death toll in the country for a year.

"We call on all mujahedeen... to support the young Islamic state in Iraq.
Weakness has gripped the infidel nations. The first signs of victory can be
seen on the horizon," wrote the spokesman of the "state" declared on October
15.

"The victories follow one another... in recent days alone, hundreds of
Americans along with Iraqi army and police elements have been killed by the
mujahedeen. Now America is calling on other countries for help in fighting
Islam and Muslims," added the "spokesman for the Ministry of Information" of
the movement in the statement.

The authenticity of the statement could not be verified.

An alliance of Sunni insurgents headed by the Iraq branch of Al-Qaeda
announced the creation of an independent Islamic emirate in Iraq in a video
posted on the Internet on October 15 after parliament in Baghdad approved a
federal constitution for the war-ravaged state.

On Thursday, the US military announced the combat deaths in Iraq a day
earlier of four marines and a sailor, taking the American forces' death toll
for October to 96 -- the highest monthly toll since October last year.

The upsurge in violence coincided with comments by US President George W.
Bush on Wednesday in which he gave a sombre assessment of the situation in
Iraq and warned: "We've got patience, but not unlimited patience."
 
And then what will have been the point of fighting in the first place? If we pull out...What would have been the point? The Iraqi people will have been as worse off if not MORE worse off with a religious leader....
 
To pull out now is to have moved Al Qaeda and the Taliban from the impoverished Afghanistan to the oil rich fields of Iraq. Terrorism and attacks will now have infinite funding. Coitus interuptus never works.
