"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
Earlier this month, AQ's figmented-leader Al-Baghdadi admitted that only 200 mujaheeden were left in Iraq. He ordered them to each make 3 attacks by the end of January.
So there are supposed to be 10 attacks per day (600 attacks divided by 60 days) against 72,000 armed Iraqis in the Awakening and 154,000 armed Americans there.
Instead, the U.S. has lost only 10 good men to combat (and 3 more to non-combat incidents like vehicle accidents) by this point in the first of our enemy's two month offensive against us.
Frankly, an old West American Indian tribe could do more damage than that. If sent to Iraq today armed with bows, knives, and the occasional rifle, Quanah Parker and Sitting Bull would be killing more of us than AQ can manage.
So our fatalities are dropping by half in yet another consecutive month.
One wonders just who will even notice this war once AQ's current "grand offensive" ends next month...
