Iraqi terrorists will not win: Powell
US Secretary of State Colin Powell, making an unannounced visit to Baghdad for the first anniversary of the Iraq war, told several hundred American soldiers and civilian workers today that America must maintain its fight against anti-democratic forces here “because we cannot let them win”.
Speaking in a huge reception room in a palace built by Saddam Hussein, Powell spoke disparagingly of those who, he said, were trying to stop through terrorism what the United States and its allies were trying to build.
