I just want us to stay alert and not get swallowed up by the glorious moment. We need to stay sober and take the fight to where it needs to go. We can not let down our guard.

Secretary of State Colin Powell has arrived in Iraq following talks with Saudi officials on a proposal to form a Muslim force to help stamp out the resistance in the country.

US Embassy spokesman Bob Callahan said Powell was met on Friday at Baghdad International Airport by US Ambassador John Negroponte.

Callahan told The Associated Press that Powell would meet top Iraqi officials, including the country's interim president, Ghazi al-Yawar, and deputy prime minister, Barham Salah, before leaving later on Friday.

Powell arrived in Iraq following meetings with Kuwaiti and Saudi leaders in their respective countries.
