"WMD hunters switched to security duties"
:
"President Bush insisted in his weekly radio address yesterday that the upsurge in violence would not drive coalition forces out. 'Leaving Iraq prematurely would only embolden the terrorists and increase the danger to America. We are determined to stay, to fight and to win.'
Critics believe, however, that Washington's failure to plan for the occupation is creating a vacuum into which foreign elements are being drawn: the very situation the invasion was meant to prevent. One US source told Jane's Intelligence Digest: 'If al-Qa'ida wasn't operating in Iraq under Saddam, it surely is now.'"
