Our main enemy is al Qaeda and its affiliates.
I've instructed Secretary Gates and Secretary Nicholson to look at every one of these recommendations and to take them seriously.
Defeating al Qaeda has been central to our new strategy in Iraq from day one and will continue to be.
It's important for the American people to understand it is al Qaeda that is doing a lot of these spectacular bombings.
