"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
This is what I like to refer to, “Another great day for Al Qaeda!” My they continue to be so lucky...
God bless our brave troops and President Bush.
I curious about the specific use of al-Qaeda instead of the more generic AIF. This is because while al-Qaeda has been just getting meat grindered, the blanket term of AIF covers such a wide range of troublemakers that I’m surprised that we are still having any al-Qaeda takedowns, proper.
For example, AIF includes criminal gangs, Baathist die hards, Mehdi Army factionalists, Iranian al-Quds, probably some Syrian special purpose soldiers, militiamen, and loners. They probably outnumber al-Qaeda by four or five to one.
al-Qaeda, on the other hand, is almost exclusively from out of the country, with increasingly difficult transit through now very hostile tribes. Saudis, Africans, misc. Their support mechanism is pretty shattered in country and they have no real havens left.
Well, be that as it may, Iraq is a better place for their removal.

Hmmm - 33 Al-Qaida in one province in one week - extend it out across the country for one month, and it sure looks like a kill rate far above what they manage to do to US troops with their best efforts - too bad the MSM doesn’t frame the news in those terms.......
