Kyle Dabruzzi of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies has compiled an outstanding report that all Americans should read. The report, Iraq’s Centrality To The War Against Al-Qaeda demonstrates, “how critical this war is to our terrorist enemies.”
It includes a letter recovered by Coalition Forces in Iraq from al-Qaida’s Ayman al-Zawahiri, the chief lieutenant to Osama bin Laden, in which al-Zawahiri states that al-Qaida’s goal is to, “expel the Americans from Iraq” and, “establish an Islamic authority or emirate, then develop it and support it until it achieves the level of a caliphate.”
