Second, "In planning, implementing and selecting of the target take care to hit a kill in the enemy," he added. Third, "your weapon is your life, so take care to keep it always ready and away from the eyes of the enemy and its spies." Four, "protect the security of information ... as a red line or a holy matter" and trust nobody "because trust is endless in society." Five, "the enemy is blind without spies, so exert all efforts to disclose and liquidate them." Six, "don't be taken away by your successive victories" or attracted by "showing off" or loose your self-control by praise of your heroic acts, to be a big mouth boasting of your success, "noting that the enemy is hunting you at all times, so keep discreet, disguised and vigilant." Seven, "inflict the biggest losses in the ranks of the enemy and decrease to the minimum your own losses." Eight "make your hands heavy at the enemy during their rest hours" and make "no place safe" for them and give them no time to recover."

Eleven, "take your time to deal with high extreme accuracy with the traitors and spies to avoid hurting innocents." Twelve, "expand the circle of monitoring, following up and hunting the enemy ... so it doesn't surprise us." Thirteen, "sustain your traditional ties with your relatives, neighbors, neighborhood and friends and make these ties deeper and more intimate, but don't make any of them feel you have a mission they don't understand" and "help them to overcome the details of daily life hardships, which are so many nowadays" so they will protect you when in trouble and don't hand you over to the enemy; they are "your safe armor and honest cover."

Fourteen, "let belief in God ... be our strong starting point." Fifteen, "fight for the sake of God the enemies of God ... until the tyrant ... invaders are defeated, until the clear-cut victory, the liberation of the homeland, and raising the flag of 'There Is No God but The God' and bringing back the 'Flag of God Is the Greatest' to fly in Iraq skies," Addouri confirmed.

Other Excerpts:

Manaf: It is noted that the Iraqi resistance started immediately after the desecration of the Iraq land by the U.S. forces. How could it (the resistance) have started and grown so quickly?

Addouri: "Al-Baath Arab Socialist Party is the party of Iraq and the Arab nation ... It did not lay arms or stop fighting even for an hour during day and night and its Jihadist march did not stop any time ... It wasn't surprised by what happened, but increased ... its determination not to be exhausted to relentlessly fight the invaders, their stooges and spies whatever the sacrifices are and regardless of how long it would take until full victory and the liberation of Iraq."

Role of Army Rank and File

Manaf: What role the officers and ranks of the Iraqi armed forces play in resistance?

Addouri: Today they play "a heroic and decisive role in the march of the resistance. In addition to their Jihadist fighting role through their own formations ... under the flag of the General Command of the Armed Forces, they are, in accordance with the guidance of the party' (Al-Baath) leadership and the General Command of the Armed Forces, dispersed into other Jihad factions where they act as field commanders, planners, technicians, makers and developers of most of the various weapons of the resistance. They represent the soul of the resistance and the secret of its innovations, accurate performance and victories."

New 'Unprecedented' Methods

Manaf: What distinguishes the Iraqi resistance? How was it able to fight the occupier in open areas?

Addouri: "The resistance depended on the rules and principles of people's wars and the guerrilla war, after developing its fighting methods and tactics, and was innovative in its logistic and special operations. More important, it has adapted the Iraqi environment to serve the people's war. Through practice, it has developed" those rules very much "to move quickly" so to make "all the land is ours and all the time is ours," and to be up to date to what is new by the enemy in order to "confront it with innovative new of our own."

"We have made and innovated new ways and methods unprecedented in the people's wars of liberation, or even in the intelligence sciences ... I cannot go into more details for security reasons; this is what kept the resistance" and its leadership a " mysterious secret, humiliating the enemy, its collaborators and spies."

Al-Baath Live and ... Recruiting

Manaf: Do your resistance formations disperse equally to cover the area of Iraq now or they are concentrated in certain areas and governorates?

Addouri: "The party (Al-Baath) is more than half a century old in Iraq ... the organization of Al-Baath today ... is stronger many times than it was before the occupation ... (I will not elaborate) for reasons Al-Baath will speak out on time." Today the party disperses in all the cities, villages, plains, mountains and deserts of Iraq; outside Iraq it also disperses among Iraqis wherever they are in every Arab or foreign country."

After the occupation, despite "the strict conditions" for joining the party and the deBaathization campaign, "thousands joined the party, mostly young people aged between 16 and 25. Tens of thousands of other Iraqis joined the resistance factions led by Al-Baath."
