Al Qaeda is Defeated
FrontPage Magazine ^ | November 2 | Michael Yon

“Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated,” according to Sheik Omar Jabouri, spokesman for the Iraqi Islamic Party and a member of the widespread and influential Jabouri Tribe. Speaking through an interpreter at a 31 October meeting at the Iraqi Islamic Party headquarters in downtown Baghdad, Sheik Omar said that al Qaeda had been “defeated mentally, and therefore is defeated physically,” referring to how clear it has become that the terrorist ...

Wow, sounds like we might be winning?? Who would have known? First I have heard about it! But wait, this can’t be true! I’ve not seen or read one thing about it in the MSM. </sarcasm>

This could be devastating for the dims!

“Mission Accomplished?”

The democrats should come out and declare, “We have won! Now we can bring out troups home.”

This announcement is most likely premature. However, it would be nice if the average American, watching the MSM, could at least hear that this pronouncement is being made.

It’s never too late to turn it around and hand victory to your defeated foe. The Democrats are still willing to make that effort.

But it’s not an American making the statement. So, in this case, it is a good thing.

As long as Islam continues to exist, al Qaeda is not defeated...

Statements like this always come back to bite you in the ass.

I agree.

Statements like this if true are true and will be apparent. Why broadcast it?

Anyway, I agree with you. I wouldn't close up shop just yet.

Isn't it interesting how the influence of Iran plummeted after we announced that we know they are in Iraq, captured several of their cells, monitored and attacked their border, and essentially declared war on them. The majority of terrorist attacks virtually stopped overnight and corresponds directly and immediately to decreased violence in theater.

Contrast that to the British response. We called their bluff and learned that Iran is not nearly as ready for war as they would like the world to believe.

The ruling mullas are walking a tight rope and they are not ready for a shake up of any kind.

“You equate Japan to Iraq? Sheeeeze some people will say anything to try to make a point.”

President Bush gave a long speech recently doing exactly that. You must have missed it?

AQ is losing out on balance in Iraq and is making great inroads in Pakistan thus the current unpleasantness there. Consider AQ or its Islamic allies in control of Pakistan's nukes. Is AQ Losing? Not yet and AQ is on the verge of suddenly getting immensely stronger.

I pray that, if the Islamists grab off Pakistan, India will have an immediate Israeli moment and take out Pak's nukes.

Jack, you’re just looking for an argument.

I commented that it is a good thing because it is a native Iraqi making the statement.

Calling the statement “stupid” is simply your personal opinion, which you’re entitled to, but it doesn’t make it so.

He was equating one lame historical reference, “peace in our time” with one factual historical reference, “Japan is defeated”.
The difference here is the first statement was uttered by a delusional thumb sucking pacifist while the second was proclaimed by brave man who knew what he was talking about.
