                        AL QAEDA DISORGANIZATION

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, earlier this week the 
Associated Press reported from Baghdad that recently discovered al 
Qaeda and Iraq documents demonstrate that the terrorists are 
``concerned about disorganization within their cells in the capital 
area, with one extremist describing them as simply a `daily annoyance' 
to the Iraqi government.''
  In one document, a terrorist complains that ``the Americans and the 
Iraqi government forces `were able to absorb our painful blows,' raise 
new recruits and `take control of Baghdad as well as other areas, one 
after the other.''
  Another terrorist complained about ``the strength of brothers in 
Baghdad and is based mostly on car bombs and groups of assassins 
lacking any organized military capabilities.''
  These documents demonstrate that courageous American troops and Iraqi 
security forces are breaking the will of the terrorists in Iraq to 
protect American families.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops. We will never forget September 
11.
